Review of Don't Look Up (2021) by Gabrieleperez08 — 19 Dec 2021

I thought “Don’t Look Up” was a satirical masterpiece. The way it was able to capture modern society was so spot on. The general indifference to societal issues, our media driven culture, misinformation, the lack of respect shown to science, celebrity worship, social media dependence, failing of government institutions, and our obsession with billionaires and how we have allowed them to convince us that everything should be based on the profit motive.

I think for most people this will be a really depressing film because it is a direct reflection on our society and our inability to act when it comes to the existential issues we face as society. I see critics and audiences panning this film but I have a feeling this movie will be remembered well with time.

It’s going to be a big “I told you so,” moment. It’s definitely not a feel good movie.
