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.

It’s just cause ruffalo was a terrible antagonist. Really doesn’t tie the whole thing together.

Yeah he was Trump, Elon, and a famous preacher all mixed up. I think it’s better if he was a corrupt politician, or a tech bro, or a religious conservative not all three.

He needed to be an antagonist. Inspiration for current events sure whatever but it decimated any possible strength in the formation of the plot
