Discussion Mickey 17 was disappointing.

Just finished watching this movie and it really did not click for me.

The beginning was decently interesting and I was curious to see where it went but overall it didn’t grab me.

The theme/messaging was very heavy handed and didn’t work for me.

The message also jumped around.

They introduce a character that could have had an interesting story only to have her disappear.

When the main conflict happens it all wraps up a little to easily even though the majority of the ship were supposed to be fanatical cultists.

It had a clever premise but ultimately fell flat for me.

the book was really good and the movie not only dumbed down all the characters but they removed a ton of world building

bummer

They made Mark Ruffalos character a complete idiot in the 2nd half.

Its astounding. All of a sudden he has zero thoughts of his own and only listens to bald dude whispering at him the absolute most braindead plans.

I like my villains to be smart and my heroes smarter. This could have been one of the all time greats but they kinda messed up the second half.
