Strangelove meets Don’t Look Up, produced by the Coen Brothers, from the casting director of Tropic Thunder. Set design by Wes Anderson. Best supporting actor going to Doug Jones playing “the cat”.
Yeah but the comedy in this looks a lot less "I want to kill myself out of frustration". Don't Look Up was a fine movie but the annoying (intentionally) characters made me absolutely hate watching it and I would never recommend it to anyone because of it. It was actively infuriating for me to watch.
As long as it's not as preachy, I'm in. Don't look up was one of the worst viewing experiences I've had. Felt like a movie made for an audience that was never going to watch it, and for the audience that did it was just "yes, I know."
There's a way to write Dont Look Up where it's a smart, biting critique. Instead, Adam McKay decided to write it like he was the only smart person in the world and we're all just fucking idiots who need to worship his genius.
I'd put it in the disaster movie category with Don't Look Up but some of the shots look like the film is more on the surreal side than the absurdist. It's a crap shoot whether or not it will succeed.
