I did not get the hype for 'Don't Look Up'.
I thought It was a pretty solid critique of mainstream American culture of the moment. What didn't you like about it?
Probably hit too close to home.
Badum bum
It's not subtle enough with its critique. Either that or it's not ridiculous enough. It's sitting in the middle zone that just doesn't work well.
I absolutely agree, felt like they didn't know what kind of movie they wanted to make and just kinda threw whatever they could think of into it.
The hype was for its star studded cast. The movie itself was also a chuckle but was really obvious for its critique and satire.
I still haven't finished it. So many stars are just unlikable and the pacing (of the half I saw) is just not enough to keep it entertaining enough to overcome the cringey 'just look at how awful everyone in power is' caricatures.
Yo! That movie sucked. I have a theory the only reason Leo starred in it was so that he could be called a sexy scientist or whatever he was.
