Great Movie! Unfortunately, too realistic for satire, which is already creepy.

But no, as it went on, I began warming up to this very odd, dark, satire. It borrows a premise from some blockbuster adventure flick - at least I bet this has been done before - a big comet is on a collision course with earth, and what is to be done? A couple of well-intentioned scientists set out to inform their leaders and the public of the bad news. But surprise - this is where the flick takes a sharp turn - our leaders don't want to hear about it, and urge caution, etc. The scientists (DiCaprio and Lawrence) soon find themselves embroiled in controversies and romantic entanglements. Mark Rylance is a hoot as a Musk/Jobs-like engineering genius who comes up with a way to profit from the comet. Cate Blanchett is fantastic as a heartless talk show hostess. It is co-written by leftist journalist David Sirota. This is full of loony, funny moments - and it could irritate a lot of people.… Expand

Ok, so most reviews would have you believe this film is either a cult classic or the worst dribble ever produced by Holly Wood EVER. Putting political leanings aside for a second, this movie is objectively nothing revolutionary but also far the pure dribble most would have you believe. The plot begins with Leo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence playing a pair of astronomical researchers who make a discovery. A massive comet is going to hit the Earth. If this sounds a lot like the plot of Armageddon that because it start off like that, however the story quickly unfolds into a tangled mess of political drama and combat as the pair struggle to get raise awareness of the Earths impending doom. Being a dark comedy with heavy political implication this film has no issue taking pot shot at both sides of the isle while presenting it dooms day scenario as both a possibility and the butt of many of this films jokes. This is in some cases its strength but also its greatest weakness. While the premise would do well in a short dooms day flick the with multiple plot lines the struggles of theses scientists quickly begins to wear you down as you realize that problems which were previously believed to be solved come back into the fold simply because film hasn't reached it full run time just yet. This is kind of the crux of this film, it gives itself way too much breathing room and expects it audience hang on as it continues hammer in its message through, not so vaguely stated, political allegories. While there is nothing wrong with the allegories themselves, the length of the movie left me wondering if the same impact could have been achieved with an hour thirty or even two hour film as opposed to the two and a half hour trudge we got. All in all I found this film to have a lot of very funny critiques on things such as media, fame, nepotism, political corruption and pseudo science which are interesting the first few times they appears but begin to wear on you at around the two hour mark. Definitely worth a watch if you've nothing else on your Netflix queue.… Expand

McKay manages to balance levity with tragedy, keeping the story fun and comedic while still invoking such stress and frustration. This ensemble of A-list stars do not disappoint, and all do a fantastic job elevating this material. Leonardo DiCaprio is, once again, a standout, and gives one of my favourite performances of the year.

It definitely isn't clever or subtle, and not all of the technical choices worked for me, but I still thoroughly enjoyed myself with this one.… Expand

Written and directed by Adam McKay who is no stranger to such movies with his previous outings such as The Big Short, a film about the 2008 housing crisis and economic crash, and VICE, a film about Dick Cheney's tenure, with both having a strong layer of satire embedded in the narrative and so I was excited to check this out. Another hit from the man.

My enjoyment of this movie boils down to two main reasons:

1) Growing up, I was a huge fan of Disaster or end-of-the-world scenario movies regardless of what is bringing that end and two of my favourites from that time were Armageddon and Deep Impact, both dealing with a large Asteroid impact, so I was naturally giddy with excitement when a modern movie with a similar scenario came out and dealt with that subject matter in a satirical tone. A fresh experience of something I love.

2) The social commentary on the state of the modern world and several avenues in it as what would the world do if Humanity is faced with this extinction event whether it is politics, mainstream media, social media, big tech companies, science, the youth, family etc, and giving jabs to both sides of the political spectrum. Some of it is heavy-handed and too on the nose going to absurdism while some of it is subtle and that created a fun balance. It also can be horrifying as to how close to home it hits with all the nonsense that is happening nowadays.

Of course, the movie wouldn't have been great without having a large and talented cast, all of whom gave good-great performances, enhancing your attachment or disdain for the characters according to the plot. My favourite was without a doubt, Leonardo DiCaprio. The dude's amazing in everything I've watched and this was no exception. Seeing him in a scientist role struggling to deal with the sheer stupidity at hand from the Govt. and the media made me frustrated as well, alongside the co-star Jennifer Lawrence, who was also great. I like that while it is a comedy, it walks the line between serious and absurd rather well. If it was all goofy and funny, it wouldn't have had the impact it wanted to have.

Well directed, written and shot with erratic editing that works for a movie like this as it keeps the momentum going. Without giving anything away, I do, however, wish that we got to see a bit more towards the end. Also, I did miss Adam McKay's style of 4th wall breaks or the fake obvious wrap-ups but considering it is a fictional tale and not based on a historical event or personality, maybe it wouldn't have worked here.

Overall, I enjoyed it a lot, this was right up my alley. It is definitely amongst the best of 2021 for me. If you like satire or if the premise interests you, I'd recommend giving this a watch. And if I were to rate it, I'd give it a solid 8/10.… Expand

All of whom I respect as incredibly talented actors. Dicaprio is the main star alongside Lawrence, and they form a good pair, with him playing the quieter individual while Lawrence is more out there and loud and is the butt of jokes throughout the movie. Seeing Jonah Hill in a comedy role again reminds me of his role in “Superbad.” He has excellent comedic timing and pulls off the douchey underling very well. I can see how some people would feel it has too much comedy with too much seriousness when it should have decided which one to focus on and used the other as an accessory. Sometimes when trying to be serious it at once follows it up with a gag or vice versa. While depicting the way some people feel the government has handled the Covid-19 outbreak as well as the issue of global warming, the constant flip-flopping can come across as jarring. Near the end of the film, it does take a more serious tone and starts to use layback on the jokes. The ending is not what you expect from a movie like this, but it makes sense in the context and delivers the message they wanted the movie to go with about what happens when you try to sweep issues under the proverbial rug. After viewing it, I understand why it has been given a mediocre score, but it is being panned too hard. The actors played their parts well, none of them came off as disinterested in the project. It goes into some touchy subjects, such as politics and the like. But it is satire, and those things are to be expected. I would suggest that people see it because at its core it is a good comedy. And it may even open some doors to viewing new opinions and could cause someone to Look Up.… Expand

It alsoDon't Look Up is a hilarious yet bleak satirical comedy that certainly is not lacking in things to say. The film highlights important and currently relevant themes such as social media, "political activism", and corrupt leadership. It also features great performances, primarily those of DiCaprio and Lawrence. It seemed that the immense stakes of the story took a bit away from the lead characters and left them feeling a bit underwritten, but much of this was made up for by the terrific lead acting. They made emotional moments that shouldn't have worked some of the best parts of the movie. I also found that most of the comedy really hit for me with Jonah Hill in particular being a highlight in this respect. My one other flaw was that the film had a few side plots that seemed a bit extraneous, but many of these wound up having at least some pay off. In summary, Don't Look Up is hilarious and extremely topical in today's world. I would absolutely recommend giving it a watch.… Expand

"Don't Look Up" is a satirical science-fiction movie, a critique of the current state of affairs in human society, and I'm afraid it's more right about the issues it tackles than wrong.

Directed by Adam McKay and starring Leonardo di Caprio"Don't Look Up" is a satirical science-fiction movie, a critique of the current state of affairs in human society, and I'm afraid it's more right about the issues it tackles than wrong.

Directed by Adam McKay and starring Leonardo di Caprio and Jennifer Lawrence, this film is an allegory about humanity's inaction towards an impending global catastrophe (the Environmental/Climate Crisis), and the stupidity of the masses (by embracing nonsensical Conspiracy Theories).

Merryll Streep is the USA President, almost a female version of Donald Trump. The President is being told by 2 unknown scientists about a comet that could kill the entire planet, and all she cares about is politics. Only when she sees it as a political opportunity for herself does she take action. I mean, which real politician would do any different?

Then the scientists go to the Media to present their findings and warn everybody, but are met with another round of indifference. Who cares about comets? Let's gossip about Hollywood!

Then the world descends into folly, split among those who believe ("Look Up") and don't believe ("Don't Look Up") in the catastrophe. Sounds familiar? It's another critique, this time about the Covid-19 conspiracy theories.

The film ends with the world meeting its literal end, due to humanity's inaction, in a striking yet depressing final scene, where di Caprio et al. gather round the family table for a final supper, together. This time around there is no hero to save the day at the last minute.

Only real problem about this movie is di Caprio and Lawrence's flat performances. Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill are much more enjoyable by comparison. But Mark Rylance steals the show, he brilliantly plays a Steve Jobbs/Jeff Bezos kind of character, who is too powerful and does whatever he pleases, irrespective of the consequences.

This film is no classic, there are better satires out there, but it's still fun to watch. And it hits the target, which is to raise some awareness about the world we live in and the issues we have to deal with.… Expand

When they report this to "Oglethorpe" (Rob Morgan) - the NASA man taskedPoor old "Kate Dibiansky" (Jennifer Lawrence) and her teacher "Mindy" (Leonardo DiCaprio) had the misfortune to discover a huge comet on a collision course with Earth. When they report this to "Oglethorpe" (Rob Morgan) - the NASA man tasked with dealing with such existential threats, the three are now exposed to the upper echelons of the United States administration, which often draws a smile and a grimace from the audience. The real star of the movie, Meryl Streep, is "President Orlean" (yes, guess what her given name is?), who presides over her government with the help of her hapless son of Chief of Staff "Jason" (Jonah Hill) in which it is a very thinly veiled blow to all things Trumpian. The story largely follows the thread of "Meteor" (1979), only with better special effects, and the corporate machinations of the "Blofeld"-esque "Isherwell" (Sir Mark Rylance) add a bit of false threat to that. fun disaster movie parody meets political drama through some manipulative and fickle television journalism (summarized by an amusing contribution from Cate Blanchett). The film's pacing is a bit unpredictable, but keep an eye out for some good scenes from Ron Perlman as the archetypal, militaristic enthusiast "Drask" and Timothée Chalamet (where does he find the time?) as the hippie love interest "Yule", which adds some volume and humor to the rather flimsy plot that has a really fitting ending. On top of Netflix productions, this - for a change, decent writing accompanies an on-form cast and I liked it.… Expand

Adam McKay has managed to create a funny, satirical disaster movie that is the most accurate depiction of what would happen if today's world was faced with the 100% chance of an asteroid destroying earth. The reaction to the world's imminentAdam McKay has managed to create a funny, satirical disaster movie that is the most accurate depiction of what would happen if today's world was faced with the 100% chance of an asteroid destroying earth. The reaction to the world's imminent end is both hilarious and terrifying. Don't Look Up may not be for everyone but I loved it.

Astronomers Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) and Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) make the terrifying discovery that a comet is heading straight for earth and without immediate action this "planet killer" will end life as they know it in 6 months. After a dissatisfying meeting with President Meryl Streep the two astronomers go on a media tour to warn the world of their discovery. They are left further shocked when the entire population doesn't seem to care that an asteroid is hurtling towards earth.

If I could sum up Don't Look Up in one word it would be chaotic. Very much drawing a lot of inspiration from real life events you're left feeling like "oh sh!t, this is scarily close to how we'd react to an incoming asteroid, we really are all gonna die." It's a darkly funny take on a genre that's been done again and again. Rather than a disaster movie with "insert generic end of the world catastrophe here" that can only be saved by a rugged Gerard Butler type action hero, Don't Look Up sets up the end of the world scenario and then focuses on how humans as a whole react or rather don't react. Also taking in the impact of social media, corrupt politicians and billionaires looking to seize on the opportunity. Along with Adam McKay's witty script you also has a wonderful star studded cast, so what's not to love? After the last two years I needed a good laugh and Don't Look Up certainly did the trick.

What more do I need to say? If you haven't already taken the time over the Christmas break to watch Don't Look Up then be sure to check it out. It might be a little dragged out in the beginning but I assure you it's worth the wait. Recommended for all those film buffs who love a good disaster movie.… Expand

Netflix gives it an impressive Hollywood treatment. The big name cast and polished script manages to comment on or allude to the previous presidential administration's fecklessness and the current administration and congress's challenge at actually getting anything done in the midst of our national obsession with reality TV, social media, likes, toothless congressional committees afraid to act, and 15-minutes-of-fame politicians using current challenges to up their personal profiles and self-created importance. Not only does the project boast a cast worthy of being called “A-list”, casting director Francine Maisler, does an outstanding job with the casting itself. Netflix continues to up the ante by demonstrating the level to which they are willing to put an impressive amount of resources behind quality projects. The main cast of 18 credited actors includes among them, 6 oscar winners in acting categories; 2 more oscar nominees also in acting categories; a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award winner; and 3 emmy award winners or nominees. The director and writer Adam McKay is an oscar winning screenwriter and nominee for best director. The actors deliver on all counts with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, and Meryl Streep at the top of their game. Cate Blanchett and Tyler Perry are a hilarious duo spoofing the cheery banter and personality-driven morning news shows.

Production value is top notch as expected. The look of the film emulates a kind of slick superficial overly-filtered imagery so common in the social media culture it pokes at and in so doing ... looks great - credit to cinematographer Linus Sandgren, the art direction team, and production designer Clayton Hartley. Special effects are on par with top film productions and that's no small achievement given what we take for granted as part of films due to technological advancements, especially where special effects are concerned. The scenes of global disaster are not only impressively violent, but they are spectacularly well done. Nicholas Britell (2 time oscar nominee and emmy winner for original scores) delivers a soundtrack that works on many levels. It references the caper films of the 60s and 70s, and easily shifts to more wistful celestial sounds during interspersed scenes of nature, and the earth’s varied landscape reminding us that global events don’t just effect people … just as … oh, I don’t know … climate change doesn’t just effect humans but all living creatures on both land and in the seas.

Don't Look Up will be hard for some to watch because it says what many have been saying for the past 5 years socially and politically. The film also presses forward grimly with its expected outcome. As entertainment, the film has a solid story line with interesting and credible side stories woven nicely into the plot without wavering from the films primary purpose which I think is for us to remember that this our lives make up "real life" and are not part of a television show. We are not extras on a set somewhere. The actions or inactions of our government have consequences. Let’s hope the message will finally sink in with this film.… Expand

Don't Look Up has a lot of things to say and really wants the viewer to know that. The movie has very solid performances and has some unique editing, something that is par for the course in an Adam McKay film. However, I do think that the message of the film is a tad on the nose; and that the overall portrayal of humanity isn't fully "accurate", though it is entertaining. I understand that this movie is a parody; I'm just wondering - how much of one? While I think this is the weakest out of McKay's recent directorial endeavors, it is still worth a watch.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I straight up enjoyed Don't Look Up. Overall the movie has this see-saw of tonality, where it starts off with a very serious concept, slowly pushes down into a canyon of comedy, only swing back up into a peak of seriousness. The tonal shift caused a bit of uncertainty in what to expect, though I believe the shift upwards was much easier to digest than the initial shift.

The acting was fantastic overall, Leo and Jennifer Lawrence played the straight role well, Kid Cudi and Ariana's bits provided comedic relief and social satire, and the absolute absurdity of Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, and Ron Pearlman were fantastic absurdist satire. With a cast like this, I'm not surprised with the quality of the acting, it's an A++ list.

More than the acting, the movie has a good sense of cinematography. The nature reels were gorgeous, and at times impactful to the overall message.

I can see why the story is going to piss people off. It's heavy satire. There's nothing subtle about it, even coming off as a caricature more often than not. I don't think the director had intentions of this being a deep movie, it's an absurdist dramedy satire, and I think that other than some slow pacing in the middle early second-half of the film, it was done well.

I've once read that a great ending can leave an impression that a mediocre movie was better than it was. I think that Don't Look Up is a good movie, with a great ending. The scene at the dinner table, admittedly, made my eyes a bit wet. It was sweet and peaceful. The during-credits scene on the new planet was hilarious, especially the call-back to the line about how Meryl Streep was going to die.

I enjoyed the film. I'm not going to take it too seriously, I highly doubt that it is particularly meant to be. From what I've read, it's simply commentary on how laissez-faire we are, as a society, about climate change, and sorta poking fun at it. I dig it.… Expand

The brick approach is obviously the Trump like president, vacuous, interested in self importance and the aggrandisement of family. To be fair this is all true of the real world Trump, so any caricature is hardly going to be subtle. The flip side is a more subtle criticism of the nature of modern society and media.
Some have assumed references towards climate change and/or the Covid pandemic, but to me the critique felt much broader, where the ridiculously elevated importance of celebrity triviality in social media and the competing, desperate drive of conventional media to remain relevant has become more important than reporting anything of use or value, or indeed the truth.
Overall, despite some bumpy moments this was a hugely enjoyable film with an excellent social commentary and some very subtle humour. I've rated it higher than I would have (probably more like an 8) because, ironically, there are some who don't believe in censorship but will still apparently give silly scores to films whose message they consider too liberal.… Expand

It's hard to argueThis is understandably polarizing film, due to the (at times) uneven over-the-top comedic elements that are difficult to swallow alongside the hefty subject matter. For some, the humor sticks, for others, it's distracting. It's hard to argue for or against either side, but as a film, it does stand out thanks to the timely theme (human beings are too distracted by nothing to care about something) and the lead performances of Dicaprio and Meryl Streep (both top-notch). The brisk pacing via the "Adam McKay" (and Baumbauch) jump cuts also help move the action along, minimizing the awkwardness of the delicate balance between the humor and the thematic weightiness. It may seem go overboard at times (particularly in the third act), and does sometimes have a difficult time balancing the two polarities (comedy - deadly serious social problem), but it is thoroughly entertaining and a solid achievement nonetheless. Consider it a unique and disturbingly prescient comedy that needed to be made, despite its flaws.… Expand

In his most ambitious film, McKay tries to avoid the disaster movie ("Deep Impact", "Armageddon") to look up to "Dr. Strangelove" adapting it to the epochal changes of our contemporaneity. But if Kubrick gradually caught fire with the transition from the grotesque to the final invective suspended between farce and iconoclastic satire, this film follows the opposite path: it starts full of hilarious gags and then freezes there, in a parodistic irony that in the second part does not know how to make genial leaps in quality and runs aground in the vicinity of the nihilism of "Melancholia".… Expand

But what lies on the surface is not what we are delighted with. Not once during its 2 hour-ish runtime did I feel taken-aback by an actors predictable nature, quite the opposite. Every performance is outstanding and well casted - even popular artists such as Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi arrive with some truly hilarious moments and quips, well acted.

What performances make up for is the often mixed tone - a comedic approach to an existential disaster film. While the first half struggles to keep a grip on its ideals, the second comes in swooping and delivers some of the best metaphors, jokes, and social commentary in movies yet - even if it tends to be extreme to the point of annoyance. With its sporadic editing, and amazing performances, Don't Look Up ends up being one of the best movies of this past year, delivering an experience with more meaning wrapped behind its obvious social commentary and well-written comedy - one of the few films that can singlehandedly create a loss of hope and a rebuilding at once.… Expand

The weakest part (for me) was the director's point of view being transparently visible; whether I agree, disagree, or am indifferent, because of politicization everywhere, I couldn't help but see some of the themes having a political charge. The themes might be judged differently simply because you can clearly see the director's words in multiple scenes (while in The Big Short, the message was less transparent despite being as biting). The strongest part was the sadness and emotional gravity of watching humankind squander our own existence.

Holds your attention for the entire time. The opposite of a slow burn. The underlying message is an important one. I did not find the Jonah Hill character and his one-liners amusing which is my only negative.

Just rating this movie a 10 because I thoroughly enjoyed it and also as a spit in the face to media outlets, journalists, and the government. You can all die in the most excruciating way possible :)

Plenty of genuine funny lines throughout and the cast are terrific. The whole way through though I just kept thinking about how close to reality the scenario would be should it happen at the wrong time during the wrong presidency.

Absurd, bizarre and still a mixture of a lot of truth paired with sometimes hellish sarcasm (also cynical?).

If you watch the film you notice the parallels to the present day more and more from minute to minute (especially to the climate crisis, but in some ways the film also fits the pandemic) and therefore a funny film also creates other feelings such as sadness or anger to wake up.

It is about an imminent end of the world, which is accepted with seeing eyes due to lower motives. In addition, there are various real-time problems, as well as the power of social media, the falling apart of truths, facts are no longer evidence, etc.

The film shows the United States in particular the past few years, which culminated in a catastrophic presidency. The connection to the real world works extremely well for me and was not too artificial for me, rather it blended in well with the scenery.
Only occasionally were the stylistic devices of popping pictures or video overlays cut too much and too quickly for me.

Also, strange camera settings were chosen over and over again, which were not always sensible for me or whose message I probably did not understand.

Apart from that, the cast was brutal and was able to convince in many cases: DiCaprio works perfectly for me, Cate Blanchett was one of the best, Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill were "amusing" most of the time (you always had a bit of "anger") "in my stomach), Chris Evans was absolutely world-class ..... amazing .... I only liked Jennifer Lawrence partially, it was sometimes too much for me because I couldn't believe her. The bash dude really pissed me off (he should too), but it wasn’t fun at all, it was just annoying. Timothee Chalamet could have been cut away and clearly shortened at this point.

Overall, the film was shot strangely, but in a certain way very cleverly written and put together, unfortunately a bit too long. I've switched off briefly one or the other time, but in the end it's pretty consistent.

7/10 drones.… Expand

Adam McKay strikes on a serious note once again, but with comedy. He is almost like a Vonnegut of film, taking heady themes and putting into layman's terms biting satire. Far from McKay's best, but still worth the watch just on themes alone,Adam McKay strikes on a serious note once again, but with comedy. He is almost like a Vonnegut of film, taking heady themes and putting into layman's terms biting satire. Far from McKay's best, but still worth the watch just on themes alone, plus great and subdued performance by Leo, which is refreshing to see. Ignore the bad reviews, it's just political disagreement. This is a satire on real life things that some people just don't want to acknowledge. Your going to see a lot of bad reviews for trolling reasons, ignore them. They could have trimmed maybe a half hour off it, but it's still a quality film by McKay.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Adam McKay's "Don't Look Up" is abosultely one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. Almost every detail of the movie was either being metaphorical or being satirical, in both subtle and obvious ways. I recommend, when you watch this, to not watch it as just a movie, watch and as your watching try comparing what's happening to a real like event and/or person and it's very eye opening.

I will say, this is purely a movie for this current batch of humans alive now, it won't have the same feel to those without a first hand account of the state of the world.

You have to go into this movie with a very unbiased political mindset or you won't see the beauty of it. Every generation and political party are represented both positively and negatively. It really does make you realize how truly corrupt ALL sides are. There are no fake claims against anyone, or things over embellished, it really shows how we truly are.

Abosuletly incredible and well worth the watch.… Expand

Para bien o para mal, esta película está dando bastante de que hablar y con el tiempo acabará convirtiéndose en un clásico, todo bien excepto por Ariana Grande, esa nula destalentada sobra en la película.
