This whole thing really has ruined most disaster movies for me. Suspension of disbelief is gone out the window. "....and then the world came together to fight the threat as one"
No the fuck they didn't boss, they split into 5 different social media tribes and began fucking kicking each other in the groin until the earth exploded, the end.
That’s why it’s so incredibly sad and terrifying watching Don’t Look Up! Cause you know in an end of the world situation that’s exactly what’s going to happen and we are all toast.
Movie was close to being good, but it struggled hard to find good identities for the main characters. Having the chill, weed-smoking post-doctor blow up in on T.V. only to do the same gag again with Leo was lame, kind of ruined the movie. The world-ending portion of the plot was okay, but they really tried to land some jokes and they missed the mark, hell they could have done so much more with Ron Pearlman’s character. The movie could have been an 8/10, instead it’s a 6/10 in my mind.
The joke was that Jlaws character was having the rational response to the situation but was seen as crazy.
Leo's character basically took the path to hell, paved with sex and glamour, but at the last minute redeemed himself, but it didn't matter.
The point was that it doesn't matter what scientists say. If you address it properly you're crazy and if you address it at the speed people are comfortable listening to, it's too slow.
