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

Two astronomers (Jennifer Lawrence & Leonardo DiCaprio) discover a comet headed toward Earth that will annihilate civilization. When they try to alert the President (Meryl Streep), she tosses it off for more pressing political matters. ThenTwo astronomers (Jennifer Lawrence & Leonardo DiCaprio) discover a comet headed toward Earth that will annihilate civilization. When they try to alert the President (Meryl Streep), she tosses it off for more pressing political matters. Then they go to the media (Cate Blanchett and Tyler Perry), who are too self-absorbed and surface to care. As the scientists try to alert the world and stop the calamity, the country spirals out of control, while the politicians look the other way (down). Social media only exacerbates matters. Yes, this conflict sounds familiar in today’s political climate and writer/director Adam McKay has masterfully made it entertaining. Like his last satire, The Big Short (my review) he uses all-out-performances, snappy editing, short scenes and clever comedy to sell his dismal message. The entire cast is great, but Mark Rylance was especially hilarious as the ultra-nerdy tech genius. Surprisingly, at 2:25 the movie flies by, which is a testament to McKay’s smart savvy skills. NOTE: Stay thru the credits for one final gag.… Expand

“Don’t Look Up” featured just enough wry wit balanced with just enough over the top sarcasm to support me through the slower segments until the heavily foreshadowed literally bitter ending landed ….like a comet from the sky.

Prescient satire and one of the best films of 2021. Americans at their best; anti-science, self-absorbed, not educated, and addicted to social media. Climate change is happening and best of luck to those here when the planet ends.

This bitingly cynical yet consistently hilarious dark comedy about the responses of various corners of officialdom to the impending impact of a planet-killing comet poignantly illustrates the wrong-headed priority that contemporary authorities place on self-serving expediency rather than genuine leadership in the face of certain doom. As a metaphor for the current state of American culture, the film is undeniably more than a little over the top, but, given the nature of the message, it also couldn't have been anything less in order to make its point, especially to a society that has become increasingly ignorant and complacent to pay attention to what's really going on around it. The stellar cast is superb across the board, playing their parts near perfectly for each and every character. But what's most impressive is how genuinely funny this offering is throughout, never succumbing to lulls, pacing issues or jokes that fail to land, something few comedies can successfully pull off these days. Indeed, in a year that has been characterized by a wealth of lame releases that have been undeservedly touted for their alleged brilliance, it's truly refreshing to see one that finally lives up to such qualities -- even if many of those writing about it can't see that for themselves, about which all I can say is, "I rest my case."… Expand

If you can't see and relate of how much this is similar to the momentary pandemic situation, politics, money, power, etc., you certainly have a very deep sleep!

Most people just don't get it and as they are as well pretty much "involved" in their own live and circumstances, this movie doesn't fit, somehow, of course. Allot of those so called critics and "user" reviews probably just rate this bad to avoid its presence in the mainstream. They don't want others to maybe light up some not-so-good controversal thoughts about what's going on on this planet, in every country and inside allot of bodies this moment.

This giant comet heads towards earth right now and we are somewhere in the middle of this movie. I recommend this to any self-thinking and self-reflecting human being, if you allready see what's going on you will LOVE this movie and if not, you might wake up or remain in hybernation for the rest of your life, speaking of this, actual might be way shorter people assume those days...… Expand

This is how intelligent and good satire is done.

What we see in the movie is exacly what we see in real life when we observe our society reactions to climate change, to COVID, and other crisis. Our society, from the elites (which are the most at fault but the problem isnt just them) to the ordinary social media users is prisoner of a culture of shallowness, shortshightedness, idiocy and self destructive greed. This movie has by some been called a spiritual successor of Dr. Strangelove and Idiocracy, i wholeheartedly agree.

The way it was able to capture modern society was so spot on. The general indifference to societal issues, our media driven culture, misinformation, the lack of respect shown to science, celebrity worship, social media dependence, failing of government institutions, and our obsession with billionaires and how we have allowed them to convince us that everything should be based on the profit motive. I think for most people this will be a really depressing film because it is a direct reflection on our society and our inability to act when it comes to the existential issues we face as society. I see critics and audiences panning this film but I have a feeling this movie will be remembered well with time. It’s going to be a big “I told you so,” moment. It’s definitely not a feel good movie.… Expand

Many people think this will be a bad film just because they hired a big cast like Leo, JLaw, Ariana, Timothee Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, etc. However I may say that the storyline is amazing and the script is nicely written. Very realistic. I hate to say but this might be the actual response of the human being if ever this comes true which let's hope not. SUPER RECOMMEND this movie. Must be watched by each human being in the world.… Expand

Another great film added to the Adam Mkay collection of classics. Although I feel as if this does lean more into Polotics which is obviously a risky thing, just look at some of these reviews.

However, I think these critics give too much credit to humanity in the first place. The characters surrounding the protagonists are one-dimensional, predictable, and not quite as satisfying a watch as , say, a Network (1976)/ Chayefsky type film, but again, why is "preserving cinema" necessarily Adam McKay's objective?

Is that the point of movies? To just preserve this standard of "good writing", "good storytelling" etc.? Cause It's been done.

Adam McKay used the medium to say "Hey **** wake the **** up".

It's not rocket science. 10/10… Expand

I would consider this one of the best films of the year. Ignore the bad reviews from those who would rather listen to anyone other then actual climate scientists (most republicans/corporate funded media). The scientific consensus is that our grand-children could face extinction from climate /ecological collapse if we don't act NOW. With build back better getting grounded/dismantled in the same way the initial rockets sent to stop the comet did it is as pressing of a message as ever.… Expand

Up there with Dr. Strangelove and In the Loop, as top film satires. I predict critics, (like Dargis, Simms, and Morgenstern) will eat their hats over this one, eventually. Their misplaced criticisms could be aimed at Strangelove just as well, or ill (what is more "anguished", Simms, "turns almost everyone into nincompoops", Morgenstern, "can't compete with horrors of real world, Chang, "deeply anguished comedy freak out", Dargis, "self-righteous superiority", Hornaday, than Dr. Strangelove?) I dare say all of these critics have DS in their pantheons of film satire. For me, their bludgeoning of DLU "tends to limit their entertainment value", to paraphrase one of our "august" critics.… 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
