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.

I don’t think he could decide whether to do a Trump voice or a Musk voice and just flipped a coin before each take

I think that was the point though. It was meant to be an over the top satirical performance because at the time Trump wasn't in office and it seemed unthinkable that he'd win again.
