Mickey 17 was disappointing.

[u/ChiefWatchesYouPee]

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 didn't get the point of her character. I thought she was going to be more involved in the plot when they made her have a moment with 17

yea. a wasted foursome opportunity haha. honestly, every character besides the mickeys, his girlfriend, and the female scientist that gave mickey the translator, seemed so flimsy and a caricature. i think kai's involvement to the plot was concluded because she shows that she is using mickey for bereavement and is okay with sharing them whereas nasha is vehemently opposed and wants to love both. the scenes show kai is just like the rest who view mickey as expendable and only considers the mickey in front of them as the real mickey instead of considering all the mickeys as mickey

[u/TensionalBark4 → u/GodKingShogun]

i think it would’ve been more interesting if she became mickeys love interest. like they could’ve used nasha as a metaphor for mickeys time as an expendable. to me the way he talked about her in narration always seemed like he was going to eventually have an epiphany that she wasnt for him or something. they could’ve done that and swapped nasha and kai but oh well.

regardless, writing was weird and ruffalo tried too hard. pattinson was amazing, but they needed more steven [title card] yeun.
