Review of Don't Look Up (2021) by Unreasonable — 24 Dec 2021
The style of humor was not to my liking, it felt over-the-top to the point of absurdity. The absurdness also had a tendency to cross over to the characters as well, making them feel one-note. The story felt obvious in every way, to the point where I correctly guessed the ending only 20 minutes in.
The editing is a bit odd in some areas, but is overall okay. The soundtrack is very nice, but is mixed poorly in some scenes. The visuals are very well done and I applaude the CG animators who worked on this.
The acting was excellent, so it was a shame it was wasted on this writing. The commentary is oddly poignant, but it lacks punch due to the issues mentioned above.
