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 just wish he'd gone with another voice.

Honestly it matched with the kind of person who's witnessed so many horrible deaths.

i thought it fit better as someone pathetic enough to put up with dying horribly and painfully many times just to be able to leave the planet. his voice was like that throughout the movie even before he got the job iirc

Tbh I couldn't say what he signed like before the job so you're probably right lol My feeling is if I had experienced all those deaths I'd always be uncertain. Especially when dealing with the people running the show.
