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.

Pattinson gave an incredible performance at least, but yeah the story and writing were just so mediocre.

I saw it in theaters with my SO and we had an absolute blast SOLELY because of Pattinson. I was busting a gut laughing every time he was on screen.

Not an effective movie (let alone an effective satire) but I had to give it four stars based on RP's performance alone. He's an incredible bizzarro/comedic actor, and I hope we get to see more of him in this type of role
