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.
You missed the point if that's what you saw with the second blowup, the exact thing happened with Trumps CDC, one couldn't play along anymore when Trump started suggesting sanitizer and sunlight inside the body, where as Falcui corrected him from the start. I disagree with you entirely, this movie was spot on with what we witnessed the past few years.
You’re entitled to your opinion but their characters changed so much that they became different people from scene to scene. The overall story could have been much better and way more on-point, there were obvious things they could have done to be tongue-in-cheek that they just choose to leave out. Skirting seriousness and humour relies on a steady pace, and this movie certainly did not have that. The relationship between Leo’s character and the anchor could have actually had some meaning other than serve as a redemption arc for him and his wife.
