Two astronomers go on a media tour to warn humankind of a planet-killing comet hurtling toward Earth. The response from a distracted world: Meh.

I LOVE that Jonah Hill improvised “Prayer for Stuff”! Hilarious.
And it was his idea to over-sexualize Meryl Streep similar to the way Trump's kids do for him. So brilliantly awkward.
He was hilarious in this movie. Plays a douchebag so well
Oh my gosh lol. Perfect for Christians! Jonah Hill can go from extremely off-color humor to the preposterous that clean-cut Christians will find funny. Shows great talent!
That shit was so funny bro 😭😂😂 When they cut to the broadcast feed especially
I felt dirty afterwards. Like, "I need a shower right now!"
"We really had it all" ...that line won't leave my brain. It makes me so sad.
Same
Yep. We have it all! But one way or another, we're going to lose it.
Same here! And did you know that this sentence was not in the original script? Leo made it up during shooting and asked the director if he can include it!! This single sentence is a perfect summary of this great movie, and is a take home message that will stay with us for a long time.
I thought about that line for days post movie
This is the line. This was just great/terrible.
This was the first movie that made me laugh and feel depressed/uncomfortable at the same time. It made me think deeply about the reactions of the audience in the movie as well as the audience of this movie. Truly one of the best movies I have ever seen! I have watched entertaining Netflix original movies on Netflix, but this was the first Netflix Original movie that made me think a lot. And I loved the outrageous ending too. Enjoyed Leo’s pure talent too!
If that’s the first film to give you that feeling and you enjoyed it, definitely have a watch of the Big Short if you haven’t already. A masterpiece of Adam McKay and will have you experiencing both laughter and a feeling of emptiness inside.
I was on my way to work finishing up the movie. Very depressing. It's funny because it's true. It's funny because we're in the middle of a crisis: getting killed or being sick or being something not good. Nothing good
Laughed and cried.
Weird
I agree. It reminds me of Catch 22 the hulu mini series in a way, where it invoked similar feelings.
Did you watch Inside by Bo Burnham? It also gave me a similar existential sadness + laughter.
How Meryl Streep kept a straight face while he improved a prayer for stuff is beyond me
time stamp?
@@sofiaprado5994 around 5:55
Probably the only reason she did it was just because she's Meryl Streep
I bet she gave a small smile and they covered it with the cut away of people watching the news. I don't know how you wouldn't laugh at that improvised joke
It is a brilliant film, perfect reflection of our sick society, and just what is needed at this point in history. I joined Netflix just to be able to watch this movie. Thank you.
Ha same here
Same here, I’m so glad how Netflix isn’t scared the display what society really is. Netflix truly has done the world a favor, so we are forever in their debt. This is the greatest movie to ever exist
Agree. It is so reflective.
Now binge Black Mirror.
one of the reasons I did too :-)
The fact that he wrote this film before covid times really makes it a (horrible) self fulfilling prophecy and proves Adam McKay is a genius
He's really good at what he does, but this script is nothing more than typical Hollywood climate change anti Trump crap sadly. Still good performances but crap script.
@@petew4779 are you a climate change denier
@@honeysluiced not at all... but the over played, over hyped, obvious under pinning of Hollywood politics is just obnoxious. I'm sooooo tired of everyone thinking you're either black or white, this or that. There's tons of red hats that care about the environment but you wouldn't know from Hollywood or the main stream media.
@@petew4779 Nowhere in the film do they say who represents what real life political party. Yet you yourself attach the ignorant, greedy, selfish, assholes in the movie with the the Trump crowd. I mean, that says it all really, and if anything proves the movie was great on its own. In addition to being entertaining, it's also meant to be an eye-opener for those who are still on track to be on the wrong side of history.
@@brup123 uhhhhhhhh I'm not the only one. The movies reddit sub has many fans drawing the same conclusion. A) they literally have the don't look up supporters wearing red hats with white lettering. B) Jonah hills character is clearly written for jabs about family affairs in the white house. C) The daily rip characters are Mika and Joe from msnbc. D) The pres chooses profits over humanity.
Dude, if you can't see exactly what is going on then hey, live your life, be happy, but the rest of us live in reality.
"can i touch your hair in a non sexual way?" 🤣🤣
that line deserve all the awards in all the multiverse
"He's got a picture of you on his fuckin' board." The way Timothée Chalamet deadpanned that line was hilarious.
Yeah. That made me laugh so goddamn much. Freaking snowflake gen.
That, along with "Why would a 3-Star general charge us for snacks?" absolutely cracked me up.
I love how throughout the course of the interview he gradually just sinks deeper and deeper into his chair.
Lol ikr
that seems to be a habit of his, i think due to his essential tremor on camera? he's always leaning back or against something
That’s a great observation!
The scary part of the story is how closely accurate this is to the real world reactions, yeah it's a satire but daaamn. Well done movie
How do you know? Do you work in the White House?
@@murphymagic lmao you Americans crack me up, still defending the White House 😆
@@joelbedulla4 Check yourself Bro - not American. You need to fact check yourself. QUICKLY.
The scary thing is that in a few years from now this won't be a satire, it's just going to be a reality...
@@euphoriadesignphoto don't be such an alrarmist. In 4 years you will still be hoping for a better word
He’s a three star general, so why would he charge them for snacks?
The great unanswered question from this movie, one that has kept me up at night since I saw it.
i'm still looking for answer into WHY, seriously lmao
Because in politics it's about power play. Even if it doesn't make sense.
i think the three star general portrays the greediness and power play of America. There's no damn reason, it's just that he can.
The miserable authoritarianism, the pettiness of middle-aged white men with nothing to show for it but their titles, the structure of exploitation, and the silly power games of politics. That's satire and irony.
Forget what the critics are saying, this one is worth watching
It's entertaining and watchable but it ain't a perfect movie, it's still have some flaws
It is ok, as you say for sure worth watching but nothing special.
No... listen to critics.
.
its really bad to b honest...
It's so bad.. I'm so confused as to why the comments are so positive. The humour is so painfully obvious, not witty at all. I understand the premise of the film but it made me cringe more than relate to the message. A solid concept but the execution missed the mark.
I feel like the little girl improvising "i don't like him anymore, he makes me sad" should be given more credit. that was hilarious! go her!
I know right! Rare to find young people who take to improv naturally
Agreed. Who is she??
She didn’t necessarily come up with the line just because she said it.
Finally one of those movies that I think is perfect for Netflix. Hopefully some more well known Directors (like Adam McKay) will see this movie as an example of what can be done with a streaming service. @Netflix More movies and RUclips videos like this please 👍🏻
Michael Bay, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan all have Netflix movies. Probably more great directors I don't come up with at the moment.
@@ayby17 What's the Christopher Nolan one?
@@ayby17 Christopher Nolan? 😂 Also you really gonna list 4 directors and say there ain’t like 5 times the amount of talented directors out there we’d like to see?
As long as the movies are on Netflix AND in cinemas I'm on board.
@fluffynator6222 Its not pop-corn fun. Bash is clearly "Apple" President is clearly a "President" with voters. Its very Americanized but realistic. B you want a real one? OK.
* The scientists would be shoot dead. Directly.
* Tey'll make sure no-one besides "white house" knows about this.
* They would not launch a "BASH" mission,
- instead they launch a something from a very remote place. Perhaps many at the same time. Not to collect minerals but to obliterate this comet as fast as possible.
* They do everything to divert people's eyes from the real mission. You know Arena 51? That top-secret.
* We prob. have scenes from Arena 51, or some other place, maybe we already made contact with aliens, who knows?
* They wouldn't tell us until they absolutely sure they failed their mission, or its impossible to see. Even if we saw the "comet" they come up with a story to divert the attention again.
* They prob. all tell us that they have done this before. Why wouldn't we wanna "practice" in saving our planet? Shoot nukes into space, who would care? I really hope there been multiple of test launches to destroy comets before this 'real one' happen.
This movie was simultaneously great and also extremely frustrating and depressing. I came away from it with no hope for humanity (if I had any left to begin with). But it was wonderfully written, and I'm amazed at how much of it was improvised!
Yes.
I loved this movie. Hilarious but also scary how its also very true.
I know right! I watched it and even with the over-the-topness, I was like: This feels too real. 😝
There really IS a comet coming?!
@@utubefreshie omg right??
I love how every time he talked about every scene he said each one was his absolute favourite from the movie 😂
He said « one of his favorite moments » 😊
Me too 😂😂😂
This is easily my fav comment on youtube
@@meagaland This is easily my fav comment on youtube

as an improv comedy actor, improv comedy in movies like this is what I am dying to do... Maybe one day
Keep commenting on RUclips videos you'll get there!
@@qcrew2938 😂 That's an improv answer I can get behind.
yes, and?
Shit put me in a movie 😭🥺😭😂
Keep working and never never stop Dreaming! Because of you really want something your going to get it ❤️
This guy's films, especially his more "serious" satires, just have an incredible kinetic energy to them like no other. The Big Short in particular is one of the best comedies based on historical events ever made.
lmfao
Yes. The Margot Robbie bubble bath bit was absolutely an ingenious comedy bit in that.
Big Short!! Yes a great film!!!
Didn't even realise that Adam played Dirty Mike in The Other Guys, such an underrated director/producer
I love that film
@@benjaminshabu4406 same!~
The soundtrack really is also amazing. Under appreciated element of the movie that really drives the chaotic atmosphere.
We get the same recurrent motifs replayed more and more aggressively as the movie progresses, making us recognize this is still one movie, one stream of events getting worse and worse.
Awwww, I fell in love with that score since the first few minutes of watching the film! It's brilliant!!! And how this energetic theme from the beginning of the film turns into that sad but also soothing composition at the very end of it (those final 2 minutes) - it's just amazing
Gosh, I don't know if this score is nominated for Oscar but if it is, I seriously wish it to win even though there definitely will be the score from Dune to compete with!
Yes ❤
I did love this movie, I felt it was needed; and the actors all knew they had to deliver the lesson.
What lesson?
True
A lesson from Hollywood ?
@@Doorito_ Ohh no... you're actually from the movie!
@@CutTheBeardToWatch You're on the movie too.. guess which character
Yeah, imagine getting to have several world-class actors at hand. Then being able to just say, do your thing. This kind of awesome is what you get.
Im a studying screenwriter and i’ve always been more interested in fantasy narrative stories more than anything, but this filmed opened up a whole new WORLD for me. a film hasn’t made me laugh and feel existential dread about the future of the human race like this. incredible
Can't believe many of them were improvs, these actors were sooo talented and could drop a line out of their head so perfect for the scene not even the writers thought of it!
The movie is really well done. The story & theme needs to be in touch with every generation. So good job to the casting,crew & the directing process that was involved to create this masterpiece
Ariana Singing *Don't Look Up* is Disturbingly Beautiful, because in her lyrics it starts off being serious up until it's starts building up in a dark and depressing song, but the tone makes it so beautiful, that really represents the meaning of the movie which makes it really good, it is because it balances dark and comedy.
Ikr
"get you head out of your ass" LOL!
This movie was way better than I was expecting, great movie!
I loved Ariana’s song, she annunciated so well , you could hear and understand what she was singing. Very funny song. Very true.
almost like she’s a professional singer
And it's hilarious that she's singing a scary line so beautifully and casually lolol
Listen to the goddamn qualified scientist 🎶
Unlike her real-life songs LOL… Bacon and eggs Bacon and eggs is all I hear when she is supposed to be singing Thank you next over and over again at the end of the song..
Loved this movie. Can't figure out why some folks don't. I thought it was hilarious, thought provoking, scary, accurate to our times. I've watched it twice. The first time I missed the two bonus scenes. Not sure I needed to see the naked elderly people but whatevs!
Most of the people who don't like it are the very reason this movie exists. They're the "don't look up" crowd.
Last scene wants to show that they r the pure new race that ll start humanity again in this new paradise...like adam and eve...they feel they are the chosen ones
@@chrissnyder4439 makes perfect sense
@@chrissnyder4439 I find it hilarious how you think you're correct while holding the same prejudices of humanity.
Definitely a brilliant film
the song was the best piece of satire.
I don't think I've ever felt with any movie the way this one made me feel. I laughed - felt embarrassed to laugh-, cried, felt terrified and wowed. Amazing 👀.
You said it. The critics keep comparing it against other movies when they shouldn't. This is its own creation. And it's something we've sorely needed. This movie will age well. The negative reviews won't.
I just wanted to say Adam McKay if you or Netflix is reading this comment, I noticed that timothee chalamets shirt says du quoin Illinois on it and I just wanted to point that out because I am from du quoin Illinois and it’s where I’ve been living my whole life. I am also a cinema major at a college in southern Illinois and I dream every second to make a film someday that does take place in du quoin. By the way, thank you so much for representing my hometown in this brilliant crafted movie. Don’t look up is now one of my fav films of all time.
This film is a masterpiece! Arian grande song is just funny! All actors are right on. And Meryl Strip … haha ..bronterac Hilarious!
easily one of the best movies i've seen in awhile. the writing, cast, and editing were all perfect.
Had it not been for the loved comedy elements of this film, I would have experienced an unfathomable sadness and doom due to how realistic many of the characters snd communities were portrayed. Don't Look Up is a perfect balance of comedy and realism.
People who didn't like this movie probably need to look up
Underrated comment here.
You are so right
@@FoodforThought12345678dsds Calm down and drink your Hydroxychloroquine/bleach cocktail
@@davewilliams6172 Perfect comeback... just perfect comeback.
streep plays detestable and condescending so perfectly that we need a disclaimer to reassure us that she's NOT actually that character.
Thank you, Netflix. This movie is brilliant. I have never laughed so hard at a real life horror.
This movie honestly had me all messed up! Went from laughing to slowly realizing that the pending doom was going to happen.
Very slow at first but great movie, loved it! And the dinner scene at the and-"we had it all"-was very emotional 🔥
3:23 Dude Leo was not improvising; He just had an awesome excuse to step out of this carefully crafted public persona to let loose about what he really wants to say to people about climate change XD Bet he had great fun doing it.
Between this and Tick tick boom, Netflix is definitely getting that Golden Globe for Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy
This is definitely a rewatchable movie. It doesn't have any boring parts and it goes by quickly.
OMG the "thanks for dressing up" dig at her clothes when theyre there for world ending was my fav line in the movie
and Prayer For Stuff
Also when he's about to leave Kate out of the big meeting, visibly reassesses, asks "You wanna come?", Kate says "Yeah!" and then he shuts the door.
Don't Look Up was amazing. J-Law and Leo were perfectly cast. Loved this movie!
GIVE US MORE PLEASE!! i love this movie and cast.
This was such a great movie I've watched it twice and catch something new both times hilarious 😂
Don't Look Up is amazing. It is a comedy/horror/dark satire about the reality we are all living in together right now. It was meant to make us uncomfortable and to question what is happening around us.
Brilliant film! So many spot on underlying critiques about society and great performances. Really good films are few nowadays so it's great to see this kind of thing.
This movie is easily one of the best disaster flicks I’ve ever seen.
I was shocked with how much I liked this movie lol
same
I love how he starts with a foundation of a great story with a great script and so can focus on fun and freedom with the actors
jonah's prayer to stuff was effin hilarious
This man is an absolute legend. And I cannot believe the lack of appreciation that some critics have when it comes to this film. A modern classic in every way, the elaborate context of the psychosocial analysis in projection to our own society albeit Shakespearean, but was done so well, and it really makes you sit back in your seat, and makes you contemplate because the direct identifiers to our own society are blatant and unavoidable. This is us. It may be over the top but it is us.
This movie brought me laughs and introspection about our society, I really liked it. I hope to see more films like this made for us. Great job on making it.
I loved hearing his comedic insights here. Don't Look Up is one of the most important movies ever made. I don't think that's an overstatement or exaggeration at all. He hysterically holds up a mirror to what has become a horrific, consciously ignorant society in denial. The way McKay totally pulls it off and makes everyone laugh while still feeling the seriousness of the situation is no small feat! 🎬🌎☄️🧡😂
Wow. Really smart humor, directing, editing. Extremely well done film.
A genius. His work on Anchorman and his interview with Will Farrell is just beaut
i had a sense that there was genius was work no doubt. the film was amazingly funny and i felt like leo was sometimes just saying the things he wants to scream to crowds of people or tweet about but needed a role or character to hide behind in a film to not come across as crazy in the media. it makes sense and i agree with his approach it’s just funny to me lmao
I’m always so impressed with improvised scenes, because they always seem to be the best scenes
I loved the whole movie. Perfect balance of satire and reality, sad truthful ending but extreamely factual. I felt less alone.
I had no idea he directed anchorman lol… Keep falling deeper in love with this guy. Surprised he didn’t mention The Big Short…It’s the movie that comes to mind when someone asked me what my favorite movie is, maybe also because of its timing just a genius blessed man all around making world a better place.
and that's Exactly how it always should be - the best lines came out of improv. Genius
Acting is a real passion of mine and I would love to act some day so it really cool hearing these things from a director. 😊
cant believe the fact that stuff prayer was improv that was my favorite stuff
Beyond the amazing quality of the film, I applaud teamwork, here at its best.
A masterpiece. Somehow maybe one of the first films able to reflect our time in form and content.
My favorite part of the movie is when a guy wearing a MAGA-like hat finally looks up and realizes he's been lied to. I keep waiting for something similar to happen in real life.
My favorite part is when everything ends and people finally shut up about politics
they know it's all lies (loyalism)(tribalism)(cultism)
I was told some Fox News frequent viewer family members I have were pretty quiet and solemn when watching the coverage on January 6.
Aaaaand you missed the whole point of the movie. Congratulations, you need to Look Up.
Many have realized that when they are intubated in the hospital due to covid
Did you guys notice the sign on the phone repair shop window towards the end " Shovels ONLY $599.99".
That killed me. Brilliant movie. Last time I feelt this good about a movie overall was after watching my forever favorite Forrest Gump. And I almost missed the last part, after the credits. That part was so sick relevant. Last year Borat, this year Don't look up. Awesome
Throughout the movie the prices kept going up. And at the end (that I will not spoil) there is a full screen shot of a shovel floating by. 😎
Loved it. Every single minute of it. Thank you ☺️!
this director is a gem. he has directed some of the best comedies out there!
It's one of the best movies I've ever seen! Everyone should watch this film. Loved it.
One of the best? What specifically did you like about it?
.
Agreeeeeeed
I've recommended this movie to all the people i care about. Funny as hell, but sadly true also ✌️🦁
That prayer is really hilarious! My jaw dropped after hearing that prayer. 😂
He captures people in a cult, and they don't know/think they are in one.
75% of a certain 30% of the country, won't realize it is about them.
GREAT MOVIE!
Well at least you probably do realize now after watching the movie.
I think the movie highlighted most prominently that the it's 75% of 100% of the country that probably won't realize it's about them.
100% of those people can't read so they won't understand your comment either :(
What is even better is that 75% of a certain 30% won’t realize they are being pandered to and spoon fed what they believe and being made to feel good for being a part of the group. It is like 60% of the country thinks they know for sure that the other group are idiots and that they are right, when in reality, neither of those groups have any knowledgeable basis for their beliefs and they are just following a crowd.
Then there is another group of people in the middle who think that 60% of the country has lost their minds and sit back and marvel at what is going on right now.
But it sure is fun being smug about it in a group of people that feels the same and getting patted on the back for fitting in. ;-)
I totally felt the actors having the craic doing this film. It was a joy to watch
With a cast like this, I thought it's going to bomb. But I was wrong, good job Adam Mckay.
This didn't even feel like a movie. Just absurdly real representation of today's world
enjoyed this as much as the film itself. such a cool insight into improv at the highest level
Great interview!
Brilliant movie. A reflection of our sad, dumbed down society.
You could have just liked the comment you copied.

He hysterically holds up a mirror to what has become a horrific, consciously ignorant society in denial.

sleep walking ,,
Lol @ important. It's a propaganda film just like "The Birth of a Nation" and "Triumph of the Will". These films are designed to whip up ideologues and true-believers into a moral panic and have them brutalize others at the behest of the so-called urgency of the fear-mongering. Nothing's changed in 100 years. Sadly, people still fall for this like lemmings, when historical precedent should have taught them better.
Oh my god, the one with the puppet master stand up like it's really not in the script, and have confuse face really get me everything XD
He said only a couple lines were written. Makes me wonder what he had in mind for that scene. That was such a funny scene, kind of surprised almost the entire scene was improv. 😎
Ty Adam, Love your art! Ty for letting funny people be funny in your movies. :)
I thoroughly enjoyed 'Don't Look Up'. Knowing you wrote it prior to Covid-19, and that it encapsulated the whole 'denial' of the existence of the virus was so poignant to me.
Thanks to McKay for making another great movie after Vice and the Big Short 🙏
One of the BEST Netflix movie i've seen ... loving it. want more of this ^^
Loved this video! Director’s perspective is everything
The Big Short, Vice. Adam is a legend.
and Anchorman
Step brothers
I saw "Don't Look Up" I thought it was well acted and some bits were funny but for me the cameos were the best part. I did not know Adam McKay was responsible for "Anchorman" and "The Other guys" - Those films are comedy classics.😂😂
He did The Big Short and Vice, two awesome films in their own dark comedy ways with good messages.
Thank you Mr. Mckay for your time. Love the insights.
I looooved this film!! Adam Mckay did a great job❤️❤️
Why does RUclips now hides the quantity of "Dislikes" of a video, only showing the "Likes"? That is important information necessary to put any video into perspective.
Industry capture
.
.
I want Adam Mckay’s next film to be titled ‘Lean Back’.
Featuring Fat Joe
He actually has a nerve disorder that results in Tumors and leans back in the chair to reduce the shaking on camera.
Said that I'd watch this too🤣
That guy was seriously nervous in front of the camera and I love it.
To lean back in that chair is probably the only position his hands and voice arent starting to tremble.
That's really helpful to see for me, because I have exactly the same body reactions when put on the spot. 😁
Very good answers. His mind worked like a charm. 🙌🏻
A very smart and funny movie. The best depiction of the current business/politics/news complex. Very well done. Thanks!
Everyone was amazing in their role. The comedy is so well done.
i had lots of emotions during this film. but i gotta say the orchestra music is a banger 🔥
I really enjoyed this film! McKay always makes comedy gold 😂🙌🏾
One of my favorites now… Thank you for making this film
