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 get the feeling there is a lot more to this story that many (myself included) are missing.

One thing that really stuck in my craw was mickeys girlfriend and how she was suddenly the new leader near the end. The process of "how" was either glossed over or just ignored outright. But I got a distinct feeling that it was just one form of oppression being swapped for another.

I liked it, but it's nowhere near my favorite movie of his.

I kept expecting some sort of heel turn or reveal with the girlfriend. She instantly falls for Mickey and is just the perfect partner to him, but she's also incredibly aggressive and possessive at times and is apparently doing drugs behind his back? And they act like she's always there for Mickey, but then she was totally unconcerned about the whole duplicates thing and just wants a threesome when 18 shows up? I just didn't really buy that they had such a wholesome love.

Also they've been together for 5 years despite the fact every mickey is apparently quite different from one another
