📽️ 🇺🇸 "MICKEY 17", dir. Bong Joon Ho. A pretty fun sci-fi flick that has something to say (like all good sci-fi does), but it's political satire feels very 2016. Like, we would be hooting and hollering at Mark Ruffalo's trump-sona back then, patting ourselves on the backs that oh yeah, we're sticking to him. But this is 2026 and sticking it to him got us jack.

The good guys in the movie win not by Mickey's self-sacrifice, but by the security officers staging a coup - institutions asserting themselves, checks and balances. You know, unlike in real life.

All in all, this is a movie that might give you hope (which I imagine they were going for) or it may push you back down into despair (unintentionally). RPattz is good though, as is Toni Collette.
