Bad farce masquerading as good satire. I agree with everything it’s trying to say but disagree in every way with how it’s saying it. An acidic smugness comes through - not, haha, this is fucking stupid, let’s do something about it, but haha, fuck you, you’re all gonna die, you assholic plebes. Truly condescending, becoming the very vitriol it wants to despise. It’s Rat Race with Ariana Grande instead of Smash Mouth. Makes me wish for the end of the world, as if I don’t already.

The obvious criticism is that its ham-fisted in it's approach, but unfortunately the world is ham-fisted in its monotonous stupidity. There were two dozen snippets that ring the exact truth of our social media society, so be disappointed, but in far more than this movie. The cast is stellar, so that combined with the bits of the film that still have bite, were enough for me to enjoy it.

McKay obviously makes films for folks who listen to Pod Save America. As a movie he misses the mark in making a funny take on world-changing sci-fi flicks like Contact by not having any real insights on governments & corporations. It's a mess of too many reaction shots, dangling plots, and lame Big Bang Theory style jokes. And the climate change, COVID, and MAGA allusions are embarrassing. Avoid, even if Jennifer Lawrence gives her all…but she should never rap along with the Wu Tang Clan.

It feels incredibly messy and uneven at one point, even dropping its satirical mask for a seemingly more toned down approach at the drop of a hat. And while the jabs it takes at contemporary politics are anything but subtle, they also feel incredibly pressing amid these increasingly uncertain times, offering a welcome diversion that combines humor, current issues and a dash of sensitivity in rather memorable fashion, capped with perhaps the funniest setup and payoff to a joke in recent memory.

mckay films starting to feel like entertaining a wealthy child's exploration of how the world works. it has the same level of baseless confidence, you-know-what humor, cynical political impotence, and more importantly obliviousness to the political dynamics. also, this fast-paced editing with supposedly witty remarks sprinkled onto a toothless story is getting really boring. instead of trying to make a point, telling a proper story would be better - n not being afraid of your sentimentality.

It's all very obnoxious and obvious, no subtlety, but that's OK. As we enter another year of COVID with record-high temperatures in winter, income inequality spiraling out of control, we don't need any clever scripts... The greed and ignorance that we're experiencing in real life aren't so different from this exaggeration and I feel like that's the point. It's not a great film, but it was definitely a cathartic experience watching it.

Looking at the angry responses from across the board, I'd say it seems to touch a nerve - perhaps not with the surgical precision as -say- Wag The Dog or Dr. Strangelove, but you can't piss this many people off without doing something right. Even if you could have been a bit quicker about it.

'Don't Look Up' really wants to be the 'Dr Strangelove' of global warming, except that 'Dr Strangelove' was about what it was about, whereas this gets bogged down in the specifics of an allegory that makes no effort to be verisimilitudinous on its face but also doesn't map cleanly to the real situation it's meant to represent. Add to that a bevy of toothless topical yucks and some unironic directorial kitsch (montages of the peoples of the world, etc.) and the result is fairly unimpressive.

At first I thought it was too blunt, but after it ended one of my cousins sincerely proclaimed "this is why we need Elon to save us all!" so I can't knock McKay for erring towards obvious. Besides that, I think tone-policing the message would itself be missing the point. The stacked cast is the highlight, with Blanchett disappearing into a Laura Ingraham role, scene-punk Chalamet, and Jonah Hill as a perfect shitlord. If we're all gonna die, at least we shouldn't die alone.

On contemporary madness and stupidity, and in particular on their most pervasive and (in the current context) harmful form: denial. Or: a girl who is uncomfortable with men avoids sex by making the whole world focus on something else. The critical reception of this 2021 movie and the panning of 2017's DOWNSIZING seems telling, given that between them the atrocious KNIVES OUT (2019) received almost unanimous praise: only the latter is a film that implies no actual consequences. Pointed and funny.

Trashy, unimaginative, and seething with unfocused resentment. The overarching allegory is clumsy, to put it mildly, and lays bare some crucial misconceptions about the very scientific process that the film is presumably asking us to take seriously. The soundtrack was a bitchin' good time.

Like any nihilist movie worth its salt, it’s pretty meaningless and not worth any salt - being, as it is, three hours of reactionary “comedy” absent any real politics or groundedness - until a hint of it around the dinner table at the end, which pathos is ruined by the cheap scifi epilogue and even cheaper post credits scene.

There will be those who rally against the blatant leftist politics (and that's fine), but I still think it is a clever and quite funny stab at the messaging that we are used to seeing. Doesn't give any real insight, but it does a good job of poking at its subject matter. The casting is wonderful and while Chalamet as a skateboarder is a tiny bit, it is also the best bit. McKay is a great writer and makes this feel energetic and fresh, but this needed to be trimmed some. The ending is beautiful.

A little over-hyped, but "Don't Look Up" is a highly effective satire aiming it's punches at politicians and mass media. It's funny, amusing, and at times frightening. It plays itself like an absurdist comedy, but a good chunk of the things in here aren't too far removed from real life.

It is over the top and absolutely ridiculous. 10 years ago I might have said the same thing about this and meant it as a negative review. Now, though, it's the only way you can make a satire on this issue that is actually satirical. McKay does a great job of making the most depressing movie ever somehow actually funny and fun. Also, I'm now officially a Timothee Chalamet stan and will petition for him to be in everything.

Of course it's bloated and heavy-handed specially when it comes of poking at this social media-oriented virtual reality of unimportant stuff vampirizing (monetizing) our everyday attention we live in, but what's the point of not being exactly that? Cast is awesome, every scene with Streep and DiCaprio cracks me up and you gotta love how it taps into negationism towards science and how deadly this is to everyone. Kind of a miracle how it actually gets to be heartfelt. Best post-Ferrell McKay film

Another well made movie from Adam McKay. His more artistic ambitions and style isn’t for everyone I guess, but I’m pretty okay with it. I didn’t find the editing obnoxious like others seemed to. The acting was all great, Lawrence once again being my favorite performance in the film. I personally found it to be pretty relevant in how some would react to a crisis on this level today and I even felt anxious a handful of times. Not perfect, but the movie did it’s job and I liked it.

McKay misfires with Don't Look Up. Perhaps I no longer care for satire (regardless of accuracy); more likely I found the US-centrism a little off-putting. None of the characters are sympathetic or likable, and the script comes across with a palpable smugness. The cast is impressive, with Rylance's grating combination of Steve Jobs & Michael Jackson being the standout performance. It's a long film that feels long; while it has its moments, I don't think I'll be returning to or recommending it.

McKay seems so attuned to his position in media that it's downright myopic. As such the best jabs come to his peers, or the nearest neighbors, rather than the anyone outside of it, for instances there's virtually nothing outside of the NA efforts in stopping the global threat. That said, McKay's rage and bite comes through more often than not

I enjoyed it as I was watching, but some things kept bothering me. It was playing on my own smugness and sense of superiority and I'm like: nah, I don't want that. And like how it shifts a lot of blame on 'frivolous' 'normal' people and doesn't represent accurately how systems of power work and how those normal people are swallowed by them. And it's a mean AF movie, urging people to look up, because it's totally looking down on them. The snacks bit was great tho.

So this movie is basically Matt Damon's character in 'The Last Duel'. McKay assumedly thought that he completely nailed it, that his satire is razor sharp, but this movie is really just the equivalent of a rambling fool. No laughs (maybe a slight chuckle at the first end credits scene) and no finesse.

Picture this: A gaggle of fat white men at a presidential rally chant "Don't look up!" while a comet that will doom them all looms visibly overhead. This is a subtle metaphor for all your political enemies being not only evil, but also stupid. You are one of the good ones. You are on the right side of history and, by god, you fucking love science.

Sounds like an interesting idea, but it's misleading. This is just two hours of the usual liberal elite gadflies yammering on about the threat of global warming masqueraded as a comet strike, taking cheap pot-shots where they can. It's obnoxious and not very subtle. It's written by Adam McKay, so it's unfair to expect anything of value. The cast is decent, but the performances are all bad as they're all just playing themselves. Trash, unless you enjoy being lectured and patronized by these goons

The world is in desperate need of gallows humor and instead we have immense talent and resources wasted on something as insipid and inhuman as this. It has about as much nuance as Rush Limbaugh yelling into his microphone about women and gay people. It hands Meryl Streep her worst performance ever. It creates an entire society out of straw and then approaches its cardboard cutout characters with such contempt that even misanthropes feel alienated. This movie is horrible, bordering on obscene.

This is why it is important for the public to be science literate! The people who don’t understand the meaning of satire really are the same people who don’t look up (McKay made this point on social media and was demonised). There is something more going on here than just the comet as an analogy for human-induced climate change; it’s a critique of the way in which we (humans) have lost our way as a species. We don’t know how to live anymore; the authentic life is now but a phantom.

The funniest thing is that if you searched for this movie on Google a related search is "don't look up true story". Honestly, the editing made this watchable and the two hours passed by so fast I almost forgot of Cate Blanchett's botox. If we learned anything from the current pandemic is that humanity will behave much worse than this flick made us believe. I expect Americans will be the most triggered by the shallowness, because yeah. But then again humanity can't understand reality so yeah.

The social commentary is all very obvious but also incisive and making important points. The performances are mostly great. The biggest transformation is probably Mark Rylance, but I didn't even recognize Cate Blanchett until the second hour so that's worth noting. The big problem is the length. There is no need for this to be 2.5 hours long. I wonder if it was planned as a mini-series at some point because its structure seems conducive to a 3-episode arc.

This is not science-fiction. How could it be, since it is showing the contemporary technology and politics and society in its very current condition with some minor errors of approximation? Neither it is a satire. How could it be, where the reality has become so ridiculously ridiculous? The only message I would take from a so-called science-fiction-satire is this: The end of humanity is near, sit back and relax.

Overall it works as a satire, and the cast was very good, but something just didn't click for me. I think it was the tone; I just found it uncertain, somewhere between drama and comedy, and the type of comedy that was prevalent was itself at odds with the absolutely mad Mark Rylance character. That being said, I still enjoyed it. Perhaps I need to give it another go.

Some of its satire is cringe-y (see post-credits), but the loud, busy edit is info age-appropriate and at its core is a poignant picture of how we face the inevitability of our end: some ignore it, cut to commercial, or dream of utopia; others turn to hashtag activism at concerts or nihilist stickers on skateboards. But when death actually arrives at the door, our fear is made plain and all we can do is hold hands and pray and talk about all the small things that made up the "everything" we had.

I liked this movie. Why is it critics disliked this movie so much, is it the lack of a Hollywood ending? It's high quality satire, and a fairly entertaining movie with a legit ending. If someone in the future asks "so how were the early 2020s" you can just tell them to watch Don't Look Up and they'll get a solid glimpse of our days. The world is bleak, and in response apathy has become the defining trait of our era.

For someone who occasionally pays attention and finds flashy new ground in this surface-level satire. Not saying that's bad; as a political and news junkie, just not for me. Weird pacing. Distracting and unnecessary star power. Instead of the cheap comeuppance of the animal attacking the rich, the rich should have just realized they didn't have any way to reproduce.

It's an exaggeration of our current state of affairs. The worst part of any exaggeration is that it is grounded in truth. Every good joke stings a little because of that. The entire cast is absolutely on point in this end of the world comedy. It never fails to keep you watching and hoping the people making foolish decisions begin to make the right ones. While it's satire it is imploring that we start making real life decisions with more urgency towards the future of our planet.

There's a good movie in here somewhere. It's probably less than half the length and very differently paced, but it's in here somewhere.

Its main problem isn't so much the lack of subtlety but the complete absence of any cleverness. While pretty good at the beginning, the analogy quickly devolves into a story that doesn't connect to the real world enough to be insightful and is too overt to be funny. A.McKay simplistic representation of how decision making and corporations work tarnishes the whole movie. It also manages to loose itself in romantic subplots and excruciating popstar concert, for some reason. Big disappointment.

Too long and slow and with some really tiresome scenes. It becomes a music video for some time. But worst of all is that the funny parts is miss timed. Not good.

I think two jokes landed successfully for me personally. The rest fell short of satire and existed in this in-between state of direct only-slightly-exaggerated criticism of current affairs and a string of celebrity cameos. Idiocracy succeeds at being funny because it’s accurate. This is just accurate, but so what? Who is enlightened from this other than those who already were frustrated before?

Truly the Eden of low-hanging fruit. This is basically just a line-up of every soft target you could imagine critiqued with the most obvious array of punchlines and toothless satire. If you’ve never heard someone take a crack at opportunist politicians, capitalism, or soulless morning talk show hosts, maybe there’s something here for you. I got bored (and annoyed) very quickly and started dream-casting a Christopher Guest version of this instead.

This really was the guy who advised the Sanders campaign? Twitter destroys brains huh. All messaging aside this is just tonally broken - are we supposed to be panicking all the time? Is it supposed to be funny? Does Bon Iver have something better to do than write a credits song for this?

I was rooting for the asteroid from the jump. I don't mind the heavy-handed nature of the film. People act as if subtlety is the only virtue. It is not. There are no virtues. Anyway, the $20 scam was the funniest bit in the movie.

Say what you want about Adam McKay and his over the top heavy handed writing, but he at least knows exactly what he's doing as a director. The casting is perfect. DiCaprio and company all put in great performances. McKay continues to teach a masterclass in editing and how to display information. If you don't think about its message too much, and just go with it as a movie its actually a really well made film, and you can have an entertaining time.

Satire is strange. It works so well to point out the wrongness and/or absurdity of things, but when combined with trying to point out the righteousness of the counterpoint, it has to be perfect or else it very much looks deaf, dumb, and blind. I won't lie, I found some bits of this very funny and I did like the performances, but a lot of it feels very up its own ass and is clearly looking down on people. It might also be too on the nose for its apocalyptic tone which undercuts its own point.

"Don't Look Up" might not be the most subversive movie ever, as it doesn't fully stay away from a handful of farcical character archetypes and the periodical obvious commentary, however it boasts not only a great cast and occasionally laugh-out-loud humour, but also excellent editing and in general unexpected and exciting visual and tonal variety, as well as some subtle character arcs and on-point sociopolitical critique, all resulting in a captivating and memorable offering.

Important subject, decent movie. Everything is underlined and most of the comedy would be funnier if it wasn't the exact world we are living in. Some great bits here and there.

This movie is ridiculous and insane and honestly kind of refreshing after having such serious films this past year. I can safely say I have never seen another movie like this, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The cast is really what sold It for me. DiCaprio and Lawrence stealing show for me. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a time to just shut your brain off and watch other people do crazy shit. I give 8 Brontarocs out of 10.

This movie is the equivalent of a man's hysterical screaming into the void as he hurtles over a cliff in a burning car. It's not that well crafted or funny but who cares. As a country and a species we are royally fucked.

Not nearly as preachy or obnoxious as I thought it would be given some of the TAKES ive seen. But obviously it’s just people unable to disconnect twitter from their viewing experience. Has a bit of the officestareatcamera thing going on at the end but other than that it was just a “fine” movie. Jonah Hill very funny. Adam McKay not very funny. So she goes. Some of the depictions are not untrue it’s just that people don’t want to be told that. Wish it was funny. Hill/Mckay just make step bros 2

McKay uses comedy to lighten what is otherwise a very heavy subject matter, and it mostly works. Good performances and some interesting characters, even if most are rather cartoonish. The visual effects were also impressive for a Netflix feature.

Mildly entertaining at best. The political message was obviously thinly veiled, which would be okay if it didn't hit so close to home. Otherwise it was pretty much pointless. No clue why it got a best picture nomination since it clearly doesn't deserve one.

Don't bother. Bad acting, bad jokes, bad editing, bad characters. Adam McKay thought he was making the modern-day Strangelove and made a big whiff. Not suitable for those on any side of the debate. Won't instill confidence or convert. Just a distraction from a guy who is basically the amalgamation of the billionaire he created for the film, but from Hollywood elites.

Decent satire. It was pretty fun despite its long running time. The satire wasn't particularly deep, sharp or insightful, but perhaps that is because it too closely relates to the real world. It also isn't laugh out loud funny. Perhaps at the end of the day it is the combination of comedy, satire and disaster movie, that feels a bit too real at times, that makes this film enjoyable and work pretty well.

One particular scene gave me anxiety I haven’t felt in years whilst watching horror. I’m pro science. I believe in scientific majority and data. I believe in pandemics and global warming. And yet with every grim finding, I wish that the denialists are right. But if we miss on the chance to take corrective actions due to fear induced denial, in the final hour it gives me no solace to have been the one in the right.

In general it's entertaining; the movie relies on the edition and composition (incorporating different styles, techniques and social languages), most of the time it works; still, it has some low points, where the narrative loses strenght. Storywise, what really shows is NA's self-centeredness and how, for someone that looks from the outside, NA looks like a different reality. The satirical tone seems like an attempt to not be taken seriously, a strategy to protect itself from any criticism.

The movie is a satire on the current state of affairs where news channels focus less on news and more on sensationalism and where an awful lot of people are just doomscrolling on social media. I liked it quite a bit since it was relatable and didn't take the satire too far.
