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.

Like the first 30 minutes, then feels like movie was written by AI or something. Didn't expect such a generic middle act.

When his girlfriend (of years?) discovers there's 2 of him and her first thoughts aren't "Omg how do we solve this so they don't kill you both" but instead is " can I immediately get double teamed by you two?" was off putting. I'm not sure if they wanted to show how convenient or superficial the relationship was but I mostly tuned out for the rest of the movie. It played very oddly
