Don’t Look Up :a film mini-review by Mark R. Leeper and Evelyn C. Leeper.
‘Don’t Look Up’ seems to be a ‘humorous’ version of ‘Deep Impact’, if Earth being struck by a ‘planet-killer’ comet can be presented as humorous.
For example, the credits are presented in a way that seems too fun-loving for the seriousness of the topic. Then again, ‘Dr. Strangelove’ was a success.
It is definitely a satire, though whether of climate change deniers or anti-vaxxers or anti-maskers or of some other group is not clear.
Released 12/24/21; available on Netflix. Rating: high +2 or 8/10.
