Just finished Don’t Look Up on Netflix. I thought it was horrifyingly realistic. Curious what others thought?

Today’s Idiocracy, but much more realistic at times.

That’s what I was thinking last night

I watched half last night and will finish it tonight. So far my wife and I both think it’s awful. It’s like three different people cut it in isolation then jammed their parts together. The tone is all over the place. And this is coming from someone who loved the big short, vice, anchorman etc.

100% this. It’s an absolute mess. The characters make no sense. The storyline is painful and obvious. The edit’s messy. It’s hokey in the worst way. I couldn’t finish it though so maybe the last scene is so amazing you forget about the rest.

Was a bit over the top at some points in its satire, but was terrifying at other points in how realistic portrayed how disfunctional we can be as a society. Overall enjoyed it.

Was great. That director is awesome. Loved Vice and The Big Short

Really liked it. It's interesting that it's getting panned so much by critics for being over dramatic/ too on-the-nose for satire...but thr vast majority is disturbingly realistic (I.e., were at a point where a lot of it is not even satire anymore).

The final act of thr movie at the dinner table is one of my favourite sequences of the year.

Agreed. Sad, but realistic. The post-credit ending made me laugh, though.

Meryl Streep was so f’ing good in that role. It was scary how she transformed into that character.

like

It was a brilliant premise with some great characters but the script felt all over the place. It went from subtle and darkly funny then suddenly became broad and lacking any subtlety.

Who’d have thought Meryl Streep would make such a great Donald Trump though. She really can do anything.

It feels like a two and a half hours long Onion article. And onion articles haven’t been funny for 5 years, because when satire gets too realistic it’s hard to find it funny.

Thought it was great. Mirrors the covid situation we are in

Loved the writing and editing. Will win an Oscar. While it is terrifying how real it feels in regards to global warming and Covid, the most terrifying part is that the people who need to see this will never do. Too high brow.

It’s basically God’s Not Dead for liberals.

I thought it was great. Simultaneously an allegory of COVID, climate and Trumpism. It was a little on-the-nose/unsubtle but entertaining and scary to watch.

Agree that it’s 100% how it’d go down.

Very realistic and depressing

It was fun to watch; however, caricatures throughout meant to confirm certain viewpoints.

Terrifying and hilarious. Loved it

On my watchlist. Trailer made me think it’s probably an allegory on global warming?

Don't get the vaccine!
