"We really had it all, didn't we?" - Dr. Mindy. Last line of the movie. Along with the score at the end with the flashes of life on Earth. My heart was racing.
I LOVED this movie and (without spoiling) once I got a grasp on how closely the world in this refelcts our own, I knew what to expect and that made it all the more terrifying.
He did not disappoint! He not only was a great performer, he displayed such great knowledge of his character throughout his character arc. If not for him I don't think the movie would've worked.
I'm sure the people hating on it are probably the ones who need to watch it the most. At this point, saying "listen to the goddamn qualified scientists" is a loaded and controversial statement.
You don't understand? Really? This movie allows us to laugh hysterically at the right wing conspiracy-loving, science-denying, stupidity-focussed reality phobia. I'm thinking they're not enjoying the yuks. 😂😅🙃😂
It is... This movie puts the nail in the division between people like you and me.. and people who watch oprah and are optimistic despite being on xanax
After seeing the world's reaction to covid, I'm pretty sure our species is going too venusform terra and kill itself. I have zero hope we can turn things around. The movie, dark comedy that it was, felt prophetic.
I think Arnold Schwarzenegger said it best in Terminator 2: Judgment Day……………… “It is in your nature to destroy yourselves.” The creepiest movie line I’ve ever heard. Especially now. We’re all doomed. Excellent movie, and great review.
@@BlackCat.Designs it's a sad reality. People like us get a lot of hate for just being real, and here I am just trying to get people to make some self realizations so that maybe they can live happier, simpler lives. People think that learning more about reality will make them more depressed but it's actually liberating to understand where we are going wrong. Helps me understand I'm not broken, the world's broken.
It had an impact on me how Leonardo CiCaprio's character, Dr. Mindy decided to spend his last hours. Having a dinner with family and friends. He could have saved himself with the rich and powerful, but chose an ordinary family dinner with good salt of the earth people instead. Meanwhile, Meryl Steep's character forgot to save her own son. And Cate Blanchett's character chose to spend her last moments drinking and gossiping about other people. And many people chose to spend their final moments in sexual extasy (or possibly in sexual escapism). It reveals people's characters to have them decide how to spend their final moments. The dinner scene was poignant and memorable for me.
I think that's the problem. The movie is awkward. You get that there are scenes that they want to be funny, but just not well-executed. The message is great but there are a lot of cringey scenes.
I've had high hopes for this ever since I heard the concept and saw the trailer. If McKay really does nail it, this could be the Dr. Strangelove of our times.
One of the greatest works that has ever been written. Adam McKay is a lyrical genius and the real message here is what the world will lose when Adam McKay is no longer with us!
Great review, Perri! It's _exactly_ what would happen: watched it last night and although it's hilarious satire, it's just so on point about where we are _right now_ ...
dicaprio bellows his desperation in our generation’s “mad as hell” speech, and it is hilarious and harrowing in equal measure. if alien life only finds one remaining piece of human media to serve as our species’ epitaph, i hope it’s this one. thanks for the review, perri!
Intriguing review. I'd have liked you to reassure me that there's subtlety to it and it's not just preaching to the choir with the subtlety of an anvil drop. But 4.5 Deweys is high praise, so I'll keep that in mind.
I get why the ratings are low, it's like in the movie. The message is not sweet or sugar coated. People want to watch the movie through a rose colored lens like the big rip. This story can't be told that way
I instantly put myself in the last moments. I would totally sit with my kids and wife. I dunno.. it's emotional when you have young kids.. do we tell them this is it guys world is over? Or just enjoy our time?
this movie is more meta than deadpool... you can pretty much see the pattern among the division in the opinions the movie causes on people... pretty much its a rorschach test, for wether you look up, or down in real life... This movie made me cry tbh
I find your review right on, and feel that many other movie critics out there have unfortunately missed the boat on this film. One of their harsh criticisms is that the movie is not funny enough, because it merely shows our society’s current reality. If this movie is scary, then it is precisely for that reason that it should be. We have become completely desensitized to the madness that we are witnessing in our day-to-day lives, with anti-science, anti-logic, profit-oriented social and other media, and lying, corrupt leadership, just to name a few, as illustrated in this film. I found the performances by DiCaprio and Lawrence especially good, and well suited for their roles. DiCaprio’s acting has really evolved over the years and he is now truly one of the great ones in my books.
it was cathartic and validating for my feelings about climate change. i talk about it all the time and people just kind of nod while their eyes glaze over
This movie really caught me off guard. Busy lately so no hype, I just love astronomy and apocalyptic movies. This flick made me laugh so hard and I think the women were actually funnier than the men. SEMI SPOILER!!! Act 3 really was a speeding brake shift. It left me a bit depressed. Of course as an ALF myself, the geek in me has to ask if the time period included our ability to travel interstellar, certainly we could deal with a global killer in a more efficient way. The technology doesn't match. But I think I am only bringing this up because this movie disturbed me a bit too. Very good review, thank you.
Thanks for this enlightened and thoughtful review. Yes it is scary, and sometimes we should be scared to wake up. Sadly most never will. The best satire in a very long time. On par with Dr Strangelove, Network, Idiocracy
Update just came from watching it cinemark. I give it same score if not 4.5/5 again leo did not disappoint and great performances from all. I’m paranoid it was like a horror movie. Made me think exactly what you said we living through that now. And with climate change I’m actually scared like we don’t listen to the science and that will lead to our extinction. We could never all get to the same Paige. DiCaprio line my gawd he’s right so powerful film. I could see the negative reviews for this movie because it kinda does attack another party supporters like their thinking like the science is there. especially with the red hats. Idk anyways it’s a good film to recommend others. Movie of the year now for me along side with night in soho. SCARY film. When a movie gives you chills makes you say dayum yup made it’s point… anyways Love your reviews btw always on point.
@@davidmeyerhoff9395 what about the other side of this “current generation” that detests any sort of technological or scientifical platform? Cuz Don’t Look Up threw punches at both sides of the political spectrum. Doesn’t make it any less flat or uninteresting.
This movie reminds me of the 1964 dark comedy - "Dr. Stragelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It dealt with the destruction of the world 🌎 by nuclear war.
I don't think this movie is quite as good, but Don't Look Up is this generation's Dr. Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love the Bomb, and I really love it for that. I appreciate that it clowns on basically everybody. No individual and no "side" is free from being satirized. Not perfect, but I enjoyed this way more than expected.
That Leo quote at the end was utterly remarkable in it’s sincerity and truth. i wonder why it isn’t self-evident in our culture? Even though our collective end will come from social irrationality, it is individual transformation that defines how we live and die, that’s why “These Final Hours” is still the better film in the genre.
I saw it as a complete inversion of our current world. It's almost a parody but it did get a bunch of things right. Like companies are in cahoots with the government and they are making things worse than it needs to be. Really, if you flipflop certain people in the movie, then it's absolutely correct.
I watched it with my wife and while it did have some interesting moments and characters I would say I didn't care for it. There were a few funny moments (looking at you Ron Pearlman and Jonah Hill) but over all it was just too long and most of the side stories were superfluous. The ending was pretty good as I would also find my self being with those I cared for most. I'd say 5/10.
I really liked the movie, also. There were a couple of times when I stopped it and thought not to continue, but, then at some point in the movie, I realized that what was happening was WAY too ridiculous. This appears to be the point when I started to see the movie with different eyes and my head stopped hurting.
the deflection missles being sabotaged to mine the comet is ridiculous lol HOWEVER.. it is a direct exaggeration of real world corruption. People in power do some of the most obsurdly risky, destructive, and yes, even self destructive things, for money. Greed is the poison the empowered inject into their own mind and body.
@Sing Along with Dan I think you are the real dont look up’ers. The reason I say that is because you left wing, idots bow down to your democrat overlords and believe everything they tell you, even if there is little to no evidence to back it. The main reason we are in this mess with Covid is because people like you don’t look into real evidence that this virus is not something we should be putting high focus on. I don’t mean ignoring it, I mean actually look at the data present through meny sources and navigating it. I mean look at data, covid is a 99% survival rate and people are going crazy because a leader says it’s bad.
Maybe when they wrote the script it was intended to be related to climate change, but when I watched the film, it reminded me more on recent and still ongoing pandemic.
I think people are to extreme about this movie. Knowing this was written before Covid made me appreciate just how accurate mckays predictions were when humanity faces a crisis like this and when the humor lands it really lands. Kate’s I need to get high joke was the funniest joke of last years movies but I genuinely felt like this movie didn’t go for jokes much and aired far to hard in the side of drama in the second act. Also holy shit the editing was very very bad. Anyways it was fine 3/5
I hope this movie is a huge hit, so Adam McKay can write a sequel where the same “fictitious” Government conspire to attack their own country, on their own soil and kill thousands of innocent civilians. The movie could show the Government make it look like it was carried out by foreign terrorists, and that would then give them the country’s public opinion support to go and invade foreign countries, rich in oil & gas deposits, that they could blame for everything, despite not having any real proof or even a credible story. They could just repeat a catchphrase ad nauseam like “weapons of mass destruction” until it becomes American vernacular. And the big plot twist is that these elected politicians actually all have seats on the boards of America’s biggest weapons companies, and they could all get insanely rich as a result of a 20 year war based on lies. Oh wait….
Watching the trailer the horror is right there..... thanks for confirming it, not every horror movie has a dark color palette.... some are bright and colorful.
Scary? I guess this is a slow year for scary movies. Good idea poorly done but satire is tricky, like balancing on a knife edge. The writers, directors, editors and producers weren't up to the task. But scary? They didn't make it scary, they didn't try to make it scary and unsurprisingly, it wasn't scary.
Another great movie by Adam McKay. He really knows out to do these type of comedies with you scratching your head and saying MAN WE LIVE IN A FUCKED UP WORLD. Random comment tramp stamp tattoos are in style.
I loved this movie. A big middle finger to the political landscape of the world. There's is a 97.5% chance that we, humans, are fucked. But since politics are corrupted, we are to lazy, to stupid. Too ignorant to do anything. We have a problem, climate change. We must work together... But the media the politics the news only care about the bottom dollar
Just saw it on Dec. 25th. I loved it. I thought it was great. I liked it a lot. I thought is was very entertaining. People who are trashing it and putting it down are just being boring, tedious pseudo-intellectual smug so and so's. They probably just want to use it as the butt of their dumb stupid jokes. The only thing I didn't like about it was Jennifer Lawrence's nose ring! Yuck!! Never do that again Ms.Jenny!
Adam Makay is 1-1 with me, The big short was great! But Vice was not. Interested in seeing Leo try comedy and Jlaw coming back..but do I trust him to satirize 2020... but I’m not sure you can truly satirize something that isn’t even over yet...unless you’re Kubrick
Sounds like a terrifyingly realistic premise. Humanity is faced with at least a handful of threats that could likely lead to our extinction if we don't act, and what do we do? Well, we don't band together and set aside our differences, that's for sure. More like the opposite. Merry Christmas everyone!
I think this is a really bad movie, and really the fact of the matter is the the left is the group that doesn’t look at real science . Plus when i was at the movies watching this the theater was silent most of the movie. To say this was an amazing movie is outrageous. It was so boring and very forced.
This movie missed in a big way for me. Vice felt smug, cruel and cynical, this feels even more so. I politically agree with almost everything McKay’s movies convey, but the man’s narcissistic, egotistical hubris bleeds into his recent work and it hurts his films. Incredible cast, interesting subject matter, huge potential. A massive disappointment. I hope everyone sees it since it’s on Netflix though, because at the very least it will provoke interesting discussion. Glad you got more from it than I did, Perri.
This movie was so so so good. This has to get a screen play nod and another best actor nod for Leo. The President was so on the nose. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to cast Trump. I have the exact same feelings about the speech Leo gives that you’re referencing. This is easily my favorite satire of all time now.
Reviews of and comments about "Don't Look Up" tend to fall into two categories: (1) viewers who thought the film failed to entertain; and (2) viewers who enjoyed the film as snarky sermon. For viewers who judged the film on its merits as a comedy, it was generally found over long and tedious, suffering from flaccid editing, poor pacing, repetitiveness, and a lack of subtlety or wit. On the other hand, viewers seeking a jeremiad aimed at the vapid shallowness of contemporary culture and politics deeply gratifying. Personally, I found Adam McKay's 2+ hours of shooting fish in a barrel with a blunderbuss an underwhelming, ham-fisted slog.
Another Republican throwing word spaghetti at a wall and hoping it sticks. Lots of criticisms but all are one liners with no explanation. How was the editing bad for example? What was wrong with tye pace of the film? You have no actual answers to these because all you have are vague criticisms. The movie was great. You are just upset because you felt like the movie because it exposes people like you to how awful you really are.
@@bullydwilliams6785 i remember when I used to believe that bs too kiddo so believe me, I don't take it personally. Which is why I didn't direct my comment at someone like you, I'll wait on the guy
@@Chronz so your intelligence deteriorated over the years? Sorry to hear that. I remember when my grandparents mentally checked out too. Hopefully you have someone to take care of you. Or they put you in a home with a hood staff.
"We really had it all, didn't we?" - Dr. Mindy. Last line of the movie. Along with the score at the end with the flashes of life on Earth. My heart was racing.

If y'all reading this and haven't watched. The movie, expect spoilers. Really...
Leo asked to put that last line in there.
Funny if you listen, he doesn't sound like Dr. Mindy when he says it...
I LOVED this movie and (without spoiling) once I got a grasp on how closely the world in this refelcts our own, I knew what to expect and that made it all the more terrifying.
I just finished it. I can absolutely see things going that way.😥
Lol, doom and gloom seems to work on people like yall
Leonardo DiCaprio can’t never do me wrong. This guy does it all and has not disappointed me ever yet.
He did not disappoint! He not only was a great performer, he displayed such great knowledge of his character throughout his character arc. If not for him I don't think the movie would've worked.
I don't understand the hate it has been getting. It is a really well made film and deserves much praise! great review!
rich people hate it cuz it shows how evil they are
Strongly agree Cinema
I'm sure the people hating on it are probably the ones who need to watch it the most. At this point, saying "listen to the goddamn qualified scientists" is a loaded and controversial statement.
You don't understand? Really? This movie allows us to laugh hysterically at the right wing conspiracy-loving, science-denying, stupidity-focussed reality phobia. I'm thinking they're not enjoying the yuks. 😂😅🙃😂
Because people don’t understand it’s a satire that makes fun of both the left and right while being extremely sad and true lol
probably one of the most important films of this decade so far ...haven't stopped think about it
As someone who's lost all hope in humanity's ability to function in a sane and rational way, this sounds like it could be my favourite of the year.
It is... This movie puts the nail in the division between people like you and me.. and people who watch oprah and are optimistic despite being on xanax
Me!! Our society is doomed ✨
After seeing the world's reaction to covid, I'm pretty sure our species is going too venusform terra and kill itself. I have zero hope we can turn things around. The movie, dark comedy that it was, felt prophetic.

I really enjoyed the film, it didn't seem like a comedy to me really - far too realistic!
That's ... umm ... the point?

It's a dark comedy

same here, i found it super depressing, but loved it still
My mouth dropped a million times.
I've had high hopes for this ever since I heard the concept and saw the trailer. If McKay really does nail it, this could be the Dr. Strangelove of our times.
It is the doctor strange love of our time, it’s film direction is so similar to it.
Reminded me very much of Network too
You are so right about that Di Caprio line near the end. So, so right. Thanks for bringing it back to me.
One of the greatest works that has ever been written. Adam McKay is a lyrical genius and the real message here is what the world will lose when Adam McKay is no longer with us!
Not the best movie but i have to say, this is probably one of my personal favorite movie of 2021.
It was Hilarious but disturbing at the same time.
I really can’t wait. I don’t really care if it’s too on the nose. I think we’re way past that point for art that addresses climate change

Agreed. Very disturbing and also important. Best satire since Dr Strangelove
It's hard to watch due to the realism of American life and the ignorance of its people.

Scary? I guess this is a slow year for scary movies. Good idea poorly done but satire is tricky, like balancing on a knife edge. The writers, directors, editors and producers weren't up to the task. But scary? They didn't make it scary, they didn't try to make it scary and unsurprisingly, it wasn't scary.
this movie is as real as it gets, if a comet was to come I can bet everything the gov will let us down
The comet in our own real live movie is called climate change
@@rjdverbeek I'd argue that it would be the collective reaction to any impending doom. As a species, we are in a state of denial
Maybe not a species as a whole, but def a large section of it
Finally a movie scarier than idiocracy.
movie gave me that same feeling i missed from black mirror💔
Another great movie by Adam McKay. He really knows out to do these type of comedies with you scratching your head and saying MAN WE LIVE IN A FUCKED UP WORLD. Random comment tramp stamp tattoos are in style.
4.5 Dewey's!! Now I've GOT to see it. The trailer made it look like a great dark comedy. Yes,give the casting director the Oscar👏👏
The US President is this movie is 100% without a doubt, GOP Republican.
I watched this movie in the dark and not gonna lie, I was afraid to go outside lol
Dude it’s 3 in the morning and I am terrified .
I won't care about other reviews. I will watch the film for what it is
I didn't get scary vibes from this movie lol.
She means by the subtext of the movie
Cobra kai season 4 trailer in the morning letss goo 😘
Looking at it now. I LOVE IT
I loved this movie. A big middle finger to the political landscape of the world.
There's is a 97.5% chance that we, humans, are fucked. But since politics are corrupted, we are to lazy, to stupid. Too ignorant to do anything.
We have a problem, climate change. We must work together... But the media the politics the news only care about the bottom dollar
I’m watching it now
it’s
hilarious because it’s true!!!
I throughly enjoyed this movie no lie cuz of Leo
A 138-min-long, non-stop cringe moment and the scariest thing I ever watched. Spoiler: it's not the comet that scares.
Wow. I’m glad to hear this. I’m excited to watch this movie 🎥
Why not a five?
I Loved it!
Great movie. Tragedy.
reminds me the style of the land of the blind
Just saw it on Dec. 25th. I loved it. I thought it was great. I liked it a lot. I thought is was very entertaining.
People who are trashing it and putting it down are just being boring, tedious pseudo-intellectual
smug so and so's. They probably just want to use it as the butt of their dumb stupid jokes. The only thing
I didn't like about it was Jennifer Lawrence's nose ring! Yuck!! Never do that again Ms.Jenny!
I absolutely loved it!
You look different here. You seem different, not a bad thing, just different.
3/5, about as good as the new matrix bomb.
Loved the movie & the soundtrack
Idk. Adam McKay has never really wowed me with any of his movies before. I personally have no interest in seeing this. I'm glad you loved it though.
Big Short is one of my all-time favorite movies.
@@mnBroncos1 Ditto.
A lot of people say that's one of his best. That is true.
Adam Makay is 1-1 with me, The big short was great! But Vice was not. Interested in seeing Leo try comedy and Jlaw coming back..but do I trust him to satirize 2020... but I’m not sure you can truly satirize something that isn’t even over yet...unless you’re Kubrick
Movie is way too relevant, it was great. Loved Cate Blanchett and Mark Rylance's characters especially.
Sounds like a terrifyingly realistic premise. Humanity is faced with at least a handful of threats that could likely lead to our extinction if we don't act, and what do we do? Well, we don't band together and set aside our differences, that's for sure. More like the opposite. Merry Christmas everyone!
I think this is a really bad movie, and really the fact of the matter is the the left is the group that doesn’t look at real science . Plus when i was at the movies watching this the theater was silent most of the movie. To say this was an amazing movie is outrageous. It was so boring and very forced.
It's a shit movie, you just agree with its message
What's your message? Don't look up?
This movie missed in a big way for me. Vice felt smug, cruel and cynical, this feels even more so. I politically agree with almost everything McKay’s movies convey, but the man’s narcissistic, egotistical hubris bleeds into his recent work and it hurts his films. Incredible cast, interesting subject matter, huge potential. A massive disappointment. I hope everyone sees it since it’s on Netflix though, because at the very least it will provoke interesting discussion. Glad you got more from it than I did, Perri.
Reality should disappoint you, not the movie that portrays it.
Yes, it's funny and disturbing at the same time. Like "The Big Short
This movie was so so so good. This has to get a screen play nod and another best actor nod for Leo. The President was so on the nose. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to cast Trump.
I have the exact same feelings about the speech Leo gives that you’re referencing. This is easily my favorite satire of all time now.
Reviews of and comments about "Don't Look Up" tend to fall into two categories: (1) viewers who thought the film failed to entertain; and (2) viewers who enjoyed the film as snarky sermon. For viewers who judged the film on its merits as a comedy, it was generally found over long and tedious, suffering from flaccid editing, poor pacing, repetitiveness, and a lack of subtlety or wit. On the other hand, viewers seeking a jeremiad aimed at the vapid shallowness of contemporary culture and politics deeply gratifying. Personally, I found Adam McKay's 2+ hours of shooting fish in a barrel with a blunderbuss an underwhelming, ham-fisted slog.
Another Republican throwing word spaghetti at a wall and hoping it sticks. Lots of criticisms but all are one liners with no explanation. How was the editing bad for example? What was wrong with tye pace of the film? You have no actual answers to these because all you have are vague criticisms. The movie was great. You are just upset because you felt like the movie because it exposes people like you to how awful you really are.
I enjoyed the film despite the obvious propaganda and inversions, only political zealots care what hollyweird thinks of Americans.
@@Chronz it isn't propaganda. They are pointing out how ridiculous you are.
@@bullydwilliams6785 i remember when I used to believe that bs too kiddo so believe me, I don't take it personally. Which is why I didn't direct my comment at someone like you, I'll wait on the guy
@@Chronz so your intelligence deteriorated over the years? Sorry to hear that. I remember when my grandparents mentally checked out too. Hopefully you have someone to take care of you. Or they put you in a home with a hood staff.
Don't Look Up is a good movie and it has changed my mind on some topics
Not scary
