Started watching this the other night. Seems right up my street. Good timing so that I've got plenty to catch up on too

Watched Mickey 17.... very strange movie, I'm not really sure what it was or what it thinks it is.

It had quirks of the hunger games, snow piercer etc.... with the dystopian future and over the top characters. I thought they were all played really well but the movie itself left me wanting a bit.

There's a real irony that I just realised though, I found myself not really caring for the main character. I'm not sure if this is deliberate or a complete fluke. I'm thinking the latter as I would have thought it more poignant to be on the opposing side of the main social issue of the flick.

There's a lot going on in the movie, but none of it really seems to go anywhere. Again, this could be deliberate but it felt unpolished.

I agree with that, and was also a bit disappointed that it didn’t go anywhere.

Of course I wasn’t expecting a remake of Moon, but they could have fleshed it out more, made it more dark, made it more light-hearted, or even just made it a more pointed commentary on ethics of cloning.

It’s not one I‘ll be in a hurry to rewatch.

Man, Moon was such an incredible film, must watch that again

Just watched the first episode of Season 7 of Black Mirror…and if you’ve ever felt annoyed by the constant prices rises and/or enshitification of your subscriptions, then this will really get you blowing your top 🤯
