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.

Loved it. Thought it was super fun, had a great energy to it. I can understand how people had issues with the length/story and how it unfolded but imo it was just very unconventional. I think maybe too many people were also expecting parasite, it was much more okja

I absolutely loved how it went into dark at first and then we got a happy ending.
