Don't Look Up 2021

The real question is why the hell did the guy charge money for snacks at the white house?

This movie would be way funnier if we weren't living it.

loading replies

Funny as shit. And then sad as hell when you realize it's basically just a documentary.

loading replies

Wasn't expecting a documentary based on a real society..

loading replies

Funny and also worrying. Idiocracy 2.0 in my opinion, much more grounded in what's actually happening in the world right now.

:heart:x0 (yes that's correct zero stars)
DO NOT WATCH!!
This is simply said - just an absolutely horrible piece of crap!!
First, it's trying to be a political and social satire - but it fails. But it somehow also tries to be a disaster movie - and again it fails.
It's like watching a couple of level-headed people dealing with an entire world of Trump clones.
This is nothing more than garbage.
DO NOT WATCH!!

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

"Can I sit down with your mom to have lunch in, like 7 months?"
Nearly fell off my chair laughing....

This is a documentary about the current US society - full of superficial, ignorant narcissists. Luckily there is intelligent life outside of this country. Unfortunately the movie didn’t show this and that’s why it’s utterly depressing. Best documentary in years though!

loading replies

I would laugh a lot more in this movie if the satire didn't hurt this much.

loading replies

Everything is a joke, even this movie.

loading replies

Don't watch it, boring as hell.

loading replies

It would be great if the total length would be 20 min. Really boring.

loading replies

A great disaster movie, probably the funniest, if something similar ever happens, it's going to be reminded in the same way we now think about the movie Contagion.

loading replies

It's sad when the synopsis puts you to sleep.

loading replies

Probably one of Leonard’s worst films. Bet he regrets getting involved in this.

loading replies

Not as much a comedy as a picture of facts of today (insert global warming here) and our society's fail to act. It's funny because it's true, but that also makes it sad. Hopefully it can act as a eye-opener to a certain degree? Who knows anymore.

loading replies

Was looking forward to this seeing who was starring.
Excellent idea for a film but turned into a farcical tale.
Avoid.
American comedy at its worse.

loading replies

Terribly paced. Message is forced and we are beaten over the head with it. Also, the characters are so unrealistic -- I understand that it is a satire and is making the point that our society is focused on the wrong things, but no one would act like this if there were a comet coming for the earth; the global warming metaphor just doesn't really work. Jonah Hill made me laugh a few times but that's about it.

loading replies

It was like a bad episode of South Park.
It tries to be a clever political comedy, like Irresistible (2020), and it fails.
It tries to be an emotional disaster movie, like Deep Impact (1998), and it fails.
And it was 1 hour too long.

The "science" was so unrealistic and badly misrepresented that the manufactured sense of urgency was unbelievable. There is no way a comet the size of Mount Everest would've slipped by until only months before impact. A realistic bare minimum time window would be 5 years. NASA and other agencies are keeping track of all sizable asteroids that could pose a threat to Earth and there are no collision courses with any of them for the next 100 years.

Go watch Silent Night (2021) instead, or better yet go watch NASA's DART mission on YouTube that was launched a month ago.

loading replies

There is one sad thing about movie... It really showed what the world has become and how stupid the majority of our population is.

loading replies

I feel like I’m supposed to like this just because of it’s subject matter but despite its ensemble cast, it’s as boring as hell. Sorry, not for me.

loading replies

This discombobulated movie gives Attack of the Killer Tomatoes a run for worse movie of all time.

loading replies

This movie is a depressingly accurate take on the modern world, great film though

loading replies

Worst of the worst. Smug. Hypocritical. Writing down to audience as if they are children

loading replies

The ending credits were the best part of this predictable movie. I did not come to care about any of the characters or their fate.

loading replies

I came to this with very differing reviews from others.

For my 5 cents I felt this was utter genius and deserving of an Oscar.

I can see why some people didn't like it. It's funny, but not. It's uncomfortable and irreverent, It engenders diametrically opposed opinions, but that is it's very point.

When faced with existential crisis the human race fails catastrophically to pull together, instead politicising everything to polarised conflict, be it nationally or internationally. Opinions on this movie are no different, and I can't help think that's part of the point itself.

What I found really struck (forgive the pun) for me with this was that, for all its chaos, under the surface the flow of the movie is actually very clever, as the cast move through the different stages of grief, at different speeds, and handle them in their own way; making the end extremely poignant, warming, heartbreaking, terrifying and darkly funny all at the same time.

loading replies

the funniest thing about Don’t Look Up is the fact that Adam McKay is the man who directed Succession pilot and help greenlit the series yet he can’t learn anything from Jessie Armstrong so now he’s making this bland, boring movie

loading replies

Fuck the critics, this movie rules. It’s 100% the modern Dr Strangelove and we live in a time where people get upset by things that make them too uncomfortable about the world.

loading replies

[Netflix] Adam McKay takes advantage of the apocalyptic genre to craft a satire more focused on political criticism of the United States. A one-way vision that comes from an original idea by Bernie Sanders 'speechwriter in the 2020 campaign. But the cartoonish trend brings this movie closer to "Hot shots" (1991) and all those goofy parodies produced in 90's that to a more clever satire on the imbecility of humanity.

loading replies

This is one of the best NF movies. I like the sarcastic tone. Populist leaders are hand in hand with rich dudes which are same for most of the countries throughout the world. Headliners are doing great whole movie. All cross references are at the target. Recommended.

loading replies

This is a star studded satire. Entertaining and terrifying at the same time. If there wasn’t so much cultural idiocy in our world, there wouldn’t be such rich source material for this movie. I give this film a 7 (insightfully dark) out of 10. [Dark Satirical Comedy]

loading replies

The satire is almost pitch black with how accurate and blunt it is. I wanted to laugh and enjoy this movie for the satirical comedy that it's so clearly trying to be, but it's secretly a depressive mockumentary on the current state of discourse in the US and across the world. Very well done, almost too accurate for humourous purposes, and left me feeling a little hollow when the credits rolled. If that was the intent, kudos Adam McKay. I'm going to go hug my dog and tell my parents I love them.

loading replies

F*cking documentary. Unfortunately it will not change a thing. Great movie, so funny and so sad.

loading replies

You know longer have to imagine what would happen if an unfunny, idiot made Idiocracy

loading replies

For a movie that plays the "People are stupid" card so heavily, the setup for this entire movie requires WAY too much stupidity of its own.

loading replies

MAGA triggered :joy::joy::joy:

loading replies

Way too on the nose and too much fluff. Not nearly funny enough IMO. Plus "Trump"-esque caricatures are just not funny enough and fairly low hanging fruit even if it's actually realistic at this point. Even the scientists, who we're supposed to be rooting for, are supremely unlikeable and unsympathetic. At least give me someone to root for

Honestly, feels like the writing let down the entire movie cause there's not much else to this

loading replies

A couple of funny scenes and overall resembles the clown world we live in. Other than that, I think it is a bad movie. If I did not have a habit of finishing what I start, I would have stopped watching right after the rockets turned around.

loading replies

this would easily have been funnier if the last 8-10 years hadn't been happening. now i'm just really stressed out about a fictional comet and i need my zoloft more than ever. seriously though, why the fuck did that man charge for the snacks?

loading replies

This hilariously funny because this is true. Lol

loading replies

Oh how true this is when it comes to those who are asleep.

loading replies

Watchable, nothing brilliant, good cast, got a few laughs from it.

loading replies

finally a film without happy ending. great story, great cast. dicaprio suprised me he was actually really good in this movie.

loading replies

Kate, I think that's photoshopped.

That was so pure I can't. LMAO And the TWO post credit scenes gave me such This Is The End vibes. :laughing: Anyways, I think Netflix and everyone shouldn't have hyped up this movie as much as they did. It's kinda alright. And having that huge ensemble didn't really add anything to it, imho. Any cast would've done the job just fine.

loading replies

A film for the covid/climate change/bad things won’t happen to me deniers. It goes on too long but this is still an enjoyable, relatable, and pretty sad satirical comedy. Stay tuned for the early credits scene.

loading replies

It's a great movie with a great cast, it's a bit more Veep / The Thick Of It than The Big Short, but it works.

Which is why it is so absolutely infuriating to watch, because if the last two years have shown us anything, it would probably play out something like this in the real world. Which is depressing.

loading replies

This movie felt ro real that I had goosebump. But then I noticed that DiCaprio's wife was the same age as him, I felt relieved that it was just a movie.

loading replies

Too much comedy fake crisis. I love acid humor and enjoy some movies of this type but Don't Look Up is just too much. Good story. Good characters. The plot is very plausible but the directing wasn't good enough.

loading replies

Worth watching just for the post credit scene

loading replies

This movie is a mix between "Idiocracy" and "Armageddon".

loading replies

Perfect satire for our actual reality.

loading replies

Thoroughly entertaining film, with a satisfying plot, and a unique, satirical outlook on many real sociological issues.

loading replies

Better than I expected. Well written, well acted.

loading replies

Don't look up, we liked it, but we were hoping it would be more critical. Will the deniers take notice? 2 post-credits scenes

loading replies

I was worried at the end there, but it was all cleared up. Except for why the fuck he charged for the snacks...

loading replies

Spot on satire. If Voltaire could direct a 21st century film, this is what he would've made.
7/10

loading replies

USA might be a broken country but there is no-one better suited to parodying their problems than themselves. Like the US itself Don't Look Up can be less subtle than I'd like but it works.

loading replies

Real real shit ,worst movie of 2021

loading replies

Was hoping this might be Dr Strangelove meets Network with Climate Change and/or Covid as the theme... but I felt in the end it was pretty weak - only a few funny moments and it didn't provide any real insights for the viewer either. Very little on how demagogues and corporations have been effective in getting people not to "look up"...

loading replies

I've never seen a movie that so perfectly captures the absurdity we're living in these days, while simultaneously hoping I never have to again!

loading replies

Pretty on point satire. Too many over the top in your face retard moments though. Got to be too cringy for us. perhaps that's because the truth hurts. Regardless check it out as a Walmart version of idiocracy that's far closer to reality in the current climate. 6.2 (over 6 is considered good on my scale).

loading replies

A bit of a strange editing. At times it is not known whether it is a criticizing irony or a comedy, but overall the film accurately reflects our decadent, click-byte society. A great role by Mark Rylence.

loading replies

This movie achieve to be so scary as Idiocracy because of our current society. From a funny movie to an almost documentary.

loading replies

Laugh and sad same time, its too real, its 21st early centry humanity.

loading replies

A political satire that’s pretty forceful and convoluted but so enjoyable while still feeling real enough to be somewhat scary. Leo gives the best performance out of the start studded cast and steals the show with an amazing scene too (you’ll know it when it comes). In typical Adam McKay fashion audiences and critics are going to either love this film, hate it, or fall right in the middle of the line. Personally I can’t go as far to say I loved it but I certainly liked it.

Also make sure to stay for the end credit scene it’s hilarious.

loading replies

Reminded me of the current corona situation.
Complete ignorance to ultimately die of it. Stay healthy and please look up!

loading replies

I'm just surprised they didn't have Lil Dicky in this movie. Don't Look Up is literally the song Earth by Lil Dicky adapted into a movie.

loading replies

I'm not normally a fan of reality shows but this was spot on.

loading replies

Brilliant. The beginning was frustrating, seeing their refusal to accept the truth. a reflection of our current reality. Then I just gave up and enjoyed the stupidity.

loading replies

I really enjoy this movie, and really how how they portrait the people of this generation which they are all very gullible with everything that you throw at them. Loved how they kinda made a Tim Cook version in this movie lol, all and all highly recommend it.

loading replies

I couldn't make it through this movie. Maybe it's just too close to reality.... maybe I WANT an asteroid to wipe us out. The pessimist in me is just like "yeah, it's time. Makes sense." Or maybe it's because the plot seems way more realistic now than it did when Armageddon hit theaters in the 90s. I dunno what it is, but I just wasn't loving this movie. I wanted to... just couldn't get there.

loading replies

i realize more and more, that community was rong, and we DO live in the dark timeline

loading replies

So everyone was at first relying on the US to get rid of the comet?

loading replies

people keep saying they don't like this movie but i actually really enjoyed it. there were some hilarious easter eggs, too- one of them is that on her desk, there is a photo of meryl streep hugging bill clinton, which suggests that her character is hillary. the ending makes me so sad, why does everyone who actually tried to help get burned :(

loading replies

They included some phone company's greed for money in it.

loading replies

It was pointing in some right directions, but in the end it's just less sharp than it thinks itself to be
I wouldn't say subtle, because it's not at any point pretending to be anything less than in your face

loading replies

Not exactly the best premise for a movie, but I was surprised to find a rather old-school satirical comedy that exaggerates the grotesque sides of our society. When things started to get real political, it almost looked like a mild South Park live-action. The jokes are kind of hit and miss, but there are enough layers of humor to satisfy most types of audiences. Sure, the social commentary and ecology lessons might feel a bit too on the nose at times, but for a blockbuster aimed at the broadest audience possible, we can’t really complain. Even during the most predictable situations, there is always that little detail or that smart line that makes them enjoyable nevertheless.

loading replies

Funny. But clearly biased and biased. Imagine comparing a pandemy with thousand of details with a giant meteor falling towards earth. Typical of the progressism of hollywood. But it´s funny if you ignore the political side.

loading replies

It Was Boring Except for the Beginning and the Ending.

loading replies

I gave this movie a 6 just because of the cast and acting which was spot on, otherwise would be lower.

I found it boring with a great satire of today's modern society.

Globally, scientists aren't heard nor listened to and even when the evidence is right in front of their eyes they still deny it.
It depicts the purposeless of most of our lives giving attention and importance to petty things, events and persons. And we keep making stupid people famous...

If that's the purpose of the film than it accomplished what it set out to be, although in a boring and just occasionally funny way.

loading replies

Accurately portrays the sad reality we live in. :sweat_smile:

loading replies

Pleasantly surprised. Put this on as a bit of a time filler but ended up being quite watchable.
It's the pandemic but with an asteroid, and the similarities to our politicians, scientists and media giants who are involved in saving the real world is very well written in, whether intentionally or not

loading replies

Good movie with a real criticism about our sickness society.
Some people can think this movie are very cynical but it seems to be really realistic for me.
Particularly on this pandemic period and with last news about climate change.
Humanity are fucked up if we continue like this.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Don’t Look Up’:

  1. Yeah, it was funny. But it was more scary and depressing, considering how it aligns way too closely with reality. And I know that was the point. They really did hit the nail on the head. This film is truly the black mirror of our country.

  2. The random quick-shots of real-world moments were powerful. Interlaced with all the insanity, it did a great job depicting how wondrous and wild our lives can be on this beautiful planet — and how much we take for granted.

  3. This was a great cast. Awesome to see the ever-talented Jennifer Lawrence again. Great performance from DiCaprio, which I’m sure was powered by his real-life passions. And I really do love Meryl in comedy. She’s so subtle and I’m here for it.

loading replies

I really don't know what to think of this, I'm completely overwhelmed. This must be the craziest film I've ever seen, it's an absolute rollercoaster. My rating is basically completely useless, one has to see it to have any kind of idea whether it's fantastic or absolutely terrible, and I still don't know.

I can't give a proper overall rating because there are so many different levels in this film. The basic idea is spot on and absolutely brilliant, but perhaps the technical execution, particularly of the Sci-fi stuff, doesn't work so well in the over-the-top satire style of the film. Or maybe it does? And also the jazz music? Why? Or why not? Or something?

I mean, watch it. Please. Don't take my word for anything, just watch it. Please.

loading replies

Enjoyed it. Be sure to watch the credits …

loading replies

More like don't watch. Not funny at all. Great cast and the movie looks good, but zero laughs from a comedy. Thumbs way down.

loading replies

Nice movie with some good laughs but nothing more.Script could be better but still is enjoyable 7.3/10

loading replies

Am I just wondering, how do they get the inspiration for the greedy and shitty govt? :))

loading replies

A very realistic description of the real world

loading replies

mullets are cringe

1/10

loading replies

Just superb. Veep does the end of the world. In contrast to everyone else, I wished it was longer - it was rushed in parts, and it could've told the story better as a Netflix miniseries.

I loved the lack of a heroic ending, the way that the film has two huge megastar leads with not a hint of romance between them, the way the entire media appeared to be run by WayStar Royco, the Brittel score... So much to like about this modern parable.

loading replies

Reminded me of Idiocracy in a lot of ways. Almost in reverse. Great flick. McKay and everyone involved did a great job with this one.

It’s soo funny how real this movie is
