    I remember it, and I’m a sucker for any SciFi with new ideas, but the delivery on this one had zero subtlety. Also, Justin Timberlake was mediocre at best. 5/10.

    “Don’t look up” was not subtle, but it had the kind of in-your-face that proofed exactly that the target audience it was mocking will not understand the direct slap they were getting.

    I’m bad with words and not a movie critic, but hope you get the point.

      Your take on this one is in-line with others. I didn’t watch it, just couldn’t find anything better to post. :|

      Don’t Look Up was terrifying for how accurate it was.

      I need to check out those other films. Thanks for the ideas!
