Can’t say I’m impressed. What stays out is the ending. But I was bored almost for the whole movie

I started with a good cast, there were a lot of negative comments but I watched it and realized that we need to think about the meanings of some sentences, the details were good but none of them can be as good as a turnip😬

Has anyone seen it (on Netflix) yet? The trailers don't seem very promising...

A production that sums up our day and needs to be watched might be a little boring at first, but it's a great movie.

It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of ignoring scientific evidence and the importance of taking action to address global issues. Movies touches on themes of responsibility and accountability, as the characters struggle to get their message heard in the face of widespread denial and apathy. The film is suitable for viewers who enjoy clever, irreverent humor and are not easily offended.

just ignore the negative reviews and start watching. In the middle it gets a bit boring, that's true but grabs the pace again soon :-)

The film is a perfect satire with some poignant and funny moments, and the main message gets through without being too preachy.

A good satire about how actually messed things are right now. Definitely worth watching, and don’t miss post credit scenes.

Don't Look Up ! Is a huge onion, you need to peel the layers and each layer has an irresistible combination of sarcasm, humour and hideous reality.

It's been quite a while now since the last time I had a hard time getting to talk about a movie without wanting to wipe the floor trash-talking about it. It feels like McKay thought that just because he's tackling such a relevant topic, add to that a stellar cast, he'd have guaranteed success with this movie. But, of course, the subject is irrelevant when judging art, and despite its sensitive plot and star-bathed cast, 'Don't Look Up' makes for one of the most boring, naive, and self-indulgent films of the year.
So, the film is a social commentary in the form of satire. And like all great satires, the channel to a compelling product is a sharp and witty script, and that is what McKay strived for and failed miserably here. The dialogue is so on the nose, and by that, I mean character saying: "Are we really about to tell the president of US that we have just over six months until humankind, basically every species, it's completely extinct?" It's ridiculous, but not in the way McKay was hoping for it to be. I can't believe he let such a line find its way into the script. But what do I know? He must have thought: "This is ingenious! Now, I only need the greatest actors in the business to transmit it as better as possible, and I know exactly how to get them. I'll offer the highest salary to DiCaprio, so he'll feel like "the man" among the rest of the cast. And Lawrence will happily put aside her feminist ideologies and won't say jack shit about it because she can't say no to the chance of finally making out with Timmy (twice). And after I allure Streep by offering her the presidency, everyone else will join if only to be around these three." Jokes aside, with its threatening star-power, this movie had no right to be the soul-destroying experience it was for me.

The messages it contains are great.

An excellent satire on all modern trends and infantilism. Grotesque in places, but this is a justified artistic device.
