this the funniest depressive moive I have seen this year. The scene at end when the dance with the drum while the fire raining from the sky, is so unforgetable.
Yet the native has taken the brunt of the white man's industrial revolution the hardest all accross the planet and its still ongoing. (Standing rock) people are more into being moved emotionally rather than physically,,the whole point of this ironic hypocritical film.
I liked Jennifer's character in the movie. I get the type who has distanced herself from society like she just can't take humanity's general shittiness. It's why she just can't get over the general charging for free snacks (which was pretty funny). This movie so perfectly captured the zeitgeist that, even in the silly lunacy, it almost felt like a documentary. 😀 I can just hear the writers mid-filming "No, it needs to be crazier! Put in more crazy!"
I don’t think they were attacking ‘phones’ specifically , but more generally our tendency as a culture to get distracted from socio-political issues by celebrity and pop culture, social media stunts etc... and phones are just a vehicle that accommodate those kind of distractions
What's actually funny and terrorizing at the same time is not one of these rich actor's give a toss about changing their own narasasitic lives to reduce their own environmental footprints but heap that full responsibility all onto the "little people" pedestrian public. It's never there Hollywood royalty that morphed the mentality and psychological aspects of consumerism into the fabric of society and culture for serving their own bottom line, but they get to use their art to absolve their guilt by pretending they care. How truly ironic this film is escapes all of them while embodying every joke themselves.
@@chuckthebull You don't sound coherent. I'm sure you've been thinking deep but you're hard to follow. In the movie, you can see the girl making a song to raise awareness, that's doing her part, she's not going to launch a rocket from her garden so she does what she can.
I will have to disagree with your opinion in regards of Jennifer Lawrence's performance. I thought she was great and the perfect choice for the role. Leo was also fantastic, but I didn't care much about his family, I sometimes would forget he was married with kids... so didn't feel a connection with them right at the end when they were at the dinner table. But overall, this movie surprised me, I really enjoyed it... Mark Rylance and Jonah Hill were standouts!
In a normal world this movie should have been a sci-fi satire but the fact so many of us can see so many similarities with our current day and age is problematic to say the least
I thought Jeniffer Lawrence was the representation of a person yelling at people for being ignorant and ignoring evidence to stop what could happen like the representation of somebody that's fed up what how crazy the world has become with like misinformation
Opening with a 53 Metacritic with 21 reviews and a 58% RT with 19 reviews. Edit: 63% RT with 24 reviews, so take in consideration that it can grow some more. Definitely not the BP winner some were predicting. Still can get some noms. I can't see getting Director when the competition is a lot stronger than the Vice year.
I would put a little less stock in those reviews. Adam McKay's flims tend to get a lot of partisan reviews. I respect McKays flims because of how shamelessly political they are. Anti SJWs and their ilk are making movies walk on eggshells with their portrayal of social issues and here comes Adam McKay going balls to the wall with unmistakeably left wing satire.
I thought JLaw's character worked. She was a millennial who didn't understand the insanity of the "leaders." "Why would a general charge us for free snacks?" She was a Ph.D. student who found the comet, and by the end of the movie, she's working retail. Then she starts this relationship even though she's pretty sure the world is doomed. But she makes this human decision to keep going on. And that was the point of their relationship. It didn't have a future from the start
Leonardo di caprio's character was the most annoying in the movie, i had my eyes rolling everytime he got influenced by some other person and given credit. On the other hand jennifer lawrance's character was the more interrsting and enjoyable character in the movie. Really showcased the media response and social crucification of a woman telling the truth with no stomach for bullshitting whereas the hot guy scientist who actually is just a push over gets all the credit for the findings of lawrance's character.
@@chuckthebull what's interesting is that this has been reflected in real life. Jennifer's performance has been largely pushed aside for the (in my opinion) lesser performance of Leo's .
@@raaid22 As far as acting goes i think everyone did a great job. but i see your point! I enjoyed the film but went away with the nagging feeling this was more about expressing the fear we all have that we screwed the pooch for ourselves as far as the environment and future human extinction event looming right over the horizon. this is the equivalent of an uncomfortable laugh at the inevitable we are all fµcked. yet the profound irony even escapes Hollywood royalty.
@@chuckthebull I thought the first half was good and focused and then the second act (once the rockets turned around) the focus was all over the place, and I think the movie suffered because of that. The final 10 minutes were the most affective to me. Seeing how people respond to the existential dread of the "end" quickly approaching.
Am I the only one who always tries to predict what question they are going to ask at the end? I only guessed right once so far, like a year and a half ago, lmao.
Congrats to Adam McKay on yesterday's Detroit film Critics Society Awards for original screenplay. It did lose to The French Dispatch for ensemble and in other categories to other films, but its gotta be a major player moving through this awards season.
Honestly I loved Don’t Look up! It’s uncomfortable because of how scarily accurate it is! Really well done and I’m so happy that this was made! More as a cautionary tale with climate change…it’s a kick in the ass to wake up!!
i actually really liked Jennifer in the film. I think her character was meant to be this tipically conscious about society and complaining sort of woman. Personally i think she delivered her performance very naturally and in a fresh way.
@@richierich7229 PTA is not really on the fence. Villenueve is more in my opinion. He directed a science fiction film. The academy awards doesn't like that. McKay is interesting. The academy awards likes him a lot. But I do agree Del Toro isn't gonna happen.
Considering that Netflix has funded big budget movies such as 6 Underground, The Irishman, The Grey Man, Red Notice, Outlaw King (try combining those movie's budget together), I'm not surprised they can hired and paid this many A list actor to do a movie together
I watched it over Christmas and was really underwhelmed. It was really badly written and a lot of the jokes just didn’t land. I thought Leonardo Di Caprio and Mark Rylance were the standout performances. Jennifer Lawrence’s characters very often come across as moody teenagers rather than adult going through genuinely traumatic events.
I'm a bit stunned this film has a 56% on Metacritic. Lower than Vice and The Big Short. I'm wondering if critics simply find it meh because it's an absurd comedy.
it should be 28% or less honestly LOL i enjoyed kong vs godzilla a lot more, i loved how it showcased humans mistreat towards lizards and MONKE, really deep movie
Based on what I've seen, a lot of critics are saying the film is too on the nose and not very subtle. But I gotta admit, this film isn't the least bit to try and be subtle, this wasn't a film for subtext, it's meant to hammer in it's satire and has no shame laughing at it. And for that, I fucking loved it.
I disagree about JLaw. I never liked her performances but this one was quite good. I don't get how can you like T. Chalomee's character and not like hers. His character was completely obsolete.
As someone who does not share the political opinions of Adam Mckay (and I would even go as far to say that he's a dissociated millionaire who has no clue what he's talking about half the time), I thoroughly enjoyed The Big Short and Vice, and I expect to enjoy this one as well. It's not about political sides, per se... it's the fact that regardless of left or right, the government would ultimately take advantage of this situation to screw us all over.
What's actually funny and terrorizing at the same time is not one of these rich actor's give a real toss about changing their own narasasitic lives to reduce their own environmental footprints but heap that full responsibility all onto the "little people" pedestrian public. Yeah no! It's never their Hollywood royalty that morphed the mentality and psychological aspects of consumerism into the fabric of society and culture for serving their own bottom line, but they get to use their art to absolve their guilt by pretending they care. How truly ironic this film is escapes all of them while embodying every joke themselves. There is the scene at the end with native person banging a drum for the "feels" of it and yet they have been hit the hardest by the onset of the industrial revolution all accross the world and ongoing (Standing rock) ever sins.
@@chuckthebull why are you focusing the blame on individuals instead of the corporations and conglomerates. Hollywood is not run by actors, it's run by the CEOs and Studios heads. Pollution main source isn't hollywood, it's the fossil fuel industry. You're falling for the same distraction game you think you catched on to, attacking people who disagree with you politically while the billionaires laugh all the way to the bank.
@@waldo8040 funny how you missed the point I made on other threads about the MIC is not even counted in the statistics on environmental impact. Im pointing out the hypocrisy of the film and actors,,, I don't have all day to enlighten you on the real issues they are also avoiding. At least you have gained some small clue who the real perps are that they are also covering up for, but blame the "little people" funny they never mention any of that in the film either how the corporate structure gets the free pass..Hollywood also pollutes grossly. Odd this hero worship and status symbolism that absolve the class levels of any accountability due to fame. And the amount of waste in the film industry is also legendary (I work in it as a maker) honestty and integrity makes me bite the hand that feeds me. Most people in this business are intellectual cowards.
@@chuckthebull the ending of the movie was literally the planet being destroyed because a capitalist used his access to the " pro-business" president to end the government response and launch his private money making operation. I don't see how it can be more accurate than that. That's the world we live in, where everything has to go through the private sector because certain political ideologies turned us against supporting national efforts. For so long they paid their puppets to say climate change is a hoax, then it was real but we didn't cause it, then it was real we caused it but not itsn't a big deal, then it was real and big deal but we can't do anything about it. Corporate greed is killing our planet and focusing on "hollywood celebrities being smug "is culture war nonsense meant to distract. As far as I know rich people acting smug is not causing the hurricanes and droughts.
I trust Adam McKay, he has a pretty good track record. I knew this movie with this many A list talent and him behind the camera would absolutely be good
I turned this off as soon as you called JLaw the weakest link. How can you call leos character the emotional centre when it was clearly j law who played the role. Leo was tbe character who was trying to do the right thing but within the bounds of the game and failed. J law stuck with her conviction and refused to play the game.
**DISCLAIMER: Note that this is political satire and not an actual sci-fi doomsday movie.** Non-american here checking in. And I just gotta say that there's one particular thing stat stands out to me: The movie obviously DOES directly target Republicans, and I'm confused about people saying it doesn't. There literally was a news montage of Republican conspiracy theorists that had a part directly saying something along the lines of "Republicans are statisticly more likely to have dumb beliefs". It stood out to me as a hostile and actually just rude caricature. The movie is vulgar. -------------------- I just like sci-fi, I don't get this movie, I'm sorry. I'm not it's target audience. And as a non-american, I hate that I was tricked into watching another piece of media about your polarising reality-TV politics under the guise of sci-fi. Your politics and media is annoying, and it's kinda depressing stumbling upon it as landmines every now and then. There are some truly amazing glimpses of a sci-fi flick in there that I was hoping would turn the movie around. The opening is fantastic(!!!). But after they are introduce the dum-dum Trump parody president, it linearly decreases in appeal all the way 'till the last 5 minutes.
I don't think Street was Trump or parody of him - my take was her character pretended to be like Trump in the movie to take advantage of the already existing Maga supporters portrayed in the movie - ie, she was trying to make use of the Trump phenomenon to stay in power. Have only seen the movie once, may have it wrong. To me, she represents the tension of most politicians trying to stay in power and also solve state problems - not typical to be able to do both the tragedy of politics.
If you think our politics and media is annoying and you're a non-American, you should try living here. It's hell. That said, it's way more than a sci-fi movie. The target audience is people who live on planet earth and want to save it.
"I hate that I was tricked into watching another piece of media about your polarising reality-TV politics under the guise of sci-fi. Your politics and media is annoying, and it's kinda depressing stumbling upon it as landmines every now and then." This sums up my feelings on the movie too! Thank you! I'm also non-american. Made the mistake of watching Death to 2021 just before this movie - it was the same shit, even more so. I would say Don't look up is neather sci-fi nor comedy.
Rather than investing 2+ hours watching Adam McKay, et al., shooting fish in a barrel with a blunderbuss, just check your email inbox, where the messages are often not nearly so tedious or witless.
4:55 why that picture? His so-called 'Oscar clip' shouting scene was on the news. That scene was just him screaming for 2 seconds then the rest is off screen or a long shot of his back to the camera,
Just watched, and I find it so interesting that Jennifer Lawrence had several "Oscar moments" but they weren't at mentioned in this review, Leo has the same moment and these reviewers predict an Oscar nomination in his future. Jennifer Lawrence was the best part of this movie. Leo really didn't have much to do. The humor was ...pleasant, but I didnt actually laugh. Overall the movie was just medium. Better than vice but worse than the big short.
honestly disapointed by the movie, they tried too hard and was carried by the actors, ppl will say anything is good if its a bit smug and leo is in it i guess

Have y’all updated your Oscar prediction list after seeing Nightmare Alley and West side story? I’m curious to see if Ariana DeBose is a front runner for Supporting Actress on the list. I have this feeling that she could sweep the critics choice and globes, easily.
Wait, the globes is still a thing? I thought it was shot down because of the allegations of lack of diversity in the HFP and how they choose the winners and nominees
@@nancykerrigan Nope, the Golden Globes are still up and running in this year’s awards season. It’s just not being Broadcast on television like it usually does. So you’ll see the list on their website or Twitter, getting updated
@@TheOscarExpert Do you think the King's Men could bag a few nominations. They had a UK premiere recently. It's got good reviews. And this year there might be tough competition in the cinematography production design costume design VFX etc technical categories after a long time!
This movie was great, but one part I love was when Mark Rylance told Leo that he was gonna die alone and that ended up not being the case, only goes to highlight just how wrong he was and how he was purely guided by a hubris and a narcissism that ultimately failed him.
I think we needed the contrast of Leo and Jen’s characters. Both were deeply upset about the reality, but they handled it in different ways. Jen was younger and more idealistic… she stuck to her truth the whole time, was criticized for it and in the end was so broken down that she just said fuck it, we’re all doomed and at least I tried. I think that accurately depicts how a lot of GenY and GenZ feel right now. Progressives are trying to fix the system but it’s too powerful and corrupt to defeat and a sense of doom and apathy dominate their thoughts. Leo was a bit older and was more swayed by the allure of celebrity, an affair, and more trusting of the institutions he was told would protect society. He represents a more GenX to Boomer (he’s not that old, but his mentality is there) where he still believes in democracy, the media and even capitalist society at least somewhat and that somehow it’s all going to work out. He only snaps when he keeps getting proven wrong over and over again that the system is too corrupt and he realizes the only good that’s left is the family he abandoned after being seduced by fame. If you only had one character, we wouldn’t have the nuance of how different generations are reacting to the various challenges society is facing right now.
Have never seen an Adam McKay movie, the start was so banal I quit it after 10 mjnutes, not always patient enough with subtle beginnings oops. Gave it a 2nd shot once better informed by friends. Cried and laughed, it was beautiful.
I'm a literacy teacher. I teach The Importance of being Ernest. I tell them it was meant to be funny, a satire meant to criticize Victorian England culture. One question i get is "did people watching the play think it was funny?" Now I can answer it better.
Honestly, because of how true and scarily accurate the depictions of our broken humanity were in this movie, I actually didn’t see it as comedic…at all. I felt extremely saddened and depressed by the end of the movie, because as much as I think society is f**ked up, i cared about most of the main characters (the good ones, at least), the same way I care about humanity in general. It felt more like a sci-fi “satire” (loose term) drama that sticks with you because of the powerful message behind it. We are all hypocrites in some way, but that definitely didn’t invalidate any of the points made in the movie. Leonardo DiCaprio deserves an Oscar just for the news meltdown scene alone. I don’t even think we was acting in that scene, because I 100% believe that was all genuinely his feelings.
This movie is great, if it can be a little less comical. I almost feels like it could work perfectly in animation medium, cus Live Action really baffling on how i suppose to perceived this and all the people in it feels like they come straight out of some kind a cartoon
I loved this movie and I’m surprised how many people hate it. My best friend watched it before me and hated it. He was preparing me for maybe being disappointed. I wasn’t and disagreed with his takes completely. I loved Jennifer Lawrence’s character and thought she was the perfect actress to play her. I’d like to think if I was in their situation I would be like her. She was so brave and fearless and stood up to everyone. I unfortunately think I’d probably be more like Leo and be too scared to say anything and just try and go along with everything, regardless of how wrong I know it is. I was glad he got a backbone in the end and tried to fix things, even though it was far too late by that point. I found this movie to be hilarious despite its bleak subject matter. It did however really make me think and stayed with me long after the credits were done.
@@carissaluttonmovietalk It was prob the best end of the word movie. I didn’t like how POTUS/admin went from being any party to conservatives. The left has its own dogmatic nonsensical and corrupt bs too.
Re: the visual effects, am I the only one who felt the movie really didn’t look that great at all? Didn’t watch this at the cinema so it might have something to do with that but throughout the entire thing I couldn’t help but think that most of the visuals will age badly. Thoughts?
I still can’t figure out why they have Rob Morgan that funky looking fake hair. His character could have easily just been bald and nothing at all changes about the character/movie. Unless he’s playing a stand-in for a real life person, I just don’t get his fake hair. At least Chalamet’s has a purpose to try and make him look like a burnout. The discourse around this movie is insane but the real question is what’s up with Rob Morgan’s fake hair?
Every single person I’ve interacted with that actively hated this movie couldn’t really defend their position beyond “leftwing propaganda movie bad”. I liked the film a lot.
DiCaprio doesn't need the Oscars. The Oscars need DiCaprio, he has to be nominated for this, and I'm also prediction a nomination for the golden globes in the comedy cathegory, since this movie is a satire
I think Peter Dinklage is taking the Globe. The globes prefer musicals to comedies. Leo in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood lost to Taron Edgerton in Rocketman. Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook lost to Hugh Jackman in Les Mis.
@@richierich7229 Yeah thats a good point, let's wait and see. Sometimes some actors that we think are getting a nomination for sure are snubbed, I wouldnt be impressed if Dinklage got a snub here. 5 days and we will have a better idea of the nominations, and on who the critics are placing their bets
My not-so-crazy prediction is that Jennifer Lawrence will be the only nomination the film gets at the Oscars, because she's the only thing that works consistently in the movie and Academy is obsessed with her. Y'all are far off in your assessment in her performance verses the other actors. She did what Leo did well, just a few more times in the movie. Plus she had the funniest (running) joke of the movie about the General who charged for the snacks. You guys talk about the precedence of Sam Rockwell getting a nomination, but not about J Law getting a nom for every damn movie she does. Including getting the ONLY nomination for Joy (another underwhelming movie by an Oscar-loved off beat comedy director). It feels like you have something against her for not acknowledging her appeal and history w the Oscars, seeing how you guys are ~Oscar experts~
The movie was so flat. I hardly laughed for it being a comedy. And it blamed random people for the crisis more than it did Democrats in power who also do nothing about climate change. It felt like a political burn book with no awareness of the problem and no courage to tackle the issue in a nuanced way.
Simmer down. Like everyone else, this channel is analyzing a lot with precursors. She got Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations for Joy so her Oscar nom wasn’t a big surprise. She didn’t get any nominations for Dont Look Up so far, not even any local critics awards. She doesn’t get a nomination for everyhing she does. Are you ok? What did she get for starring in Passengers, Red Sparrow and Mother?! She made so many bad choices in a row, she had to take a break.
I can't believe Adam McKay has besmirched his legacy with this snoozefest; editor Hank Corwin needs to be evaluated by psychoanalysts after allowing this monstrosity. The humor was not up my alley (so on the nose) but definitely laughed a couple times; good movie for high schoolers
I would argue his early stuff Step Brothers, Taladaga, Anchor man, is for kids. This was clearly very deliberately on the nose. It's weird to hear that as a criticism. Was Galaxy Quest too on the nose parodying Star Trek, or was that not the entire point? I personally found it very funny but not the jokes and quips, more the breakdowns, the stress and confusion, the disbelief and realising how fucked they were. The rest of the movie just had me angry like I have been these last 4/5 years as it was so perfectly satired with what is happening. I think if you are very concerned with the ever increasing material capitalism in the world you will support the movie. But if you think everything is ok and nothing needs to change you probably didn't notice you were watching a movie.
What's actually ironic and funny and terrorizing at the same time is not one of these rich actor's give a toss about changing their own narasasitic lives to reduce their own environmental footprints but heap that full responsibility all onto the "little people" pedestrian public. It's never there Hollywood royalty that morphed the mentality and psychological aspects of consumerism into the fabric of society and culture for serving their own bottom line, but they get to use their art to absolve their guilt by pretending they care. How truly ironic this film is escapes all of them while embodying every joke themselves. And interviews for add revenue,,I'm sure they tell themselves they are doing good works by being the messenger with their art.
Interesting that you guys thought the humor was a little deeper than most critics. From what I've heard in reviews, most folks thought it was preaching to the choir, had too much of a liberal bent (as in "Hahaw, look at how stupid Trumpsters are," etc.), and came across as "smug" and holier-than-thou elitist in its tone. I saw words like "smug," "egomaniacal," and "pretentious" tossed around in writings about this feature.
(movie is SATIRE) Got an insurance statement for an URGENT CARE. A vagrant homeless friend suggested an URGENT-CARE instead of a WALK-IN as a means of sooner attention than an EMERGENCY. Backwards no? Pretty hard to see where Greek word hospitality and hospital means show love to strangers but instead love their wallets. So the Urgent Care demands $50 (and insurance sends statement they were paid $450) and the only thing she the doctor did was take a look and say yep you should go to your doctor or ER. The lump i feared (for 3 weeks) could be infection from Hawaii lava rock that skinned me leaving particles in it, eventually went down and my other leg did have the same shape lesser lump in the same spot. Need I say the system paying the rich to be richer for doing NOTHING. It reminds me of movie DONT LOOK UP where the Urgent Care goes topless on last day and a restaurant table orgy is shown on the roof. Not quite detailed like WallStreet Wolf but about 5 times more people. So now i have a cough and sneeze that feels like muscle ripping off ribs, or broken ribs, and i have a hernia mesh to worry as involved. Blood drew Monday but no CT until next Monday, and no word of the blood results. I go to the ER, they sign me in, take a covid test and i wait 2 hours (30m before swab, 90m after swab) in which i'm in the general waiting room where nonbilled nonpatients sit with their admitted waiting ones. Goodbye walk-out that's 2 hours i can TEND to my OWN emergency. Let those who die from the asteroid get all they deserve and know they were told, because they act as if doctors are gods and all your problems are from not going to doctors or obeying doctors or worshipping them not even blaming them when they do end up killing you. Death to them all by God's asteroid to remodel-EARTH.
I think this one might be too funny to be nominated for best picture if that makes any sense. The academy generally doesn’t go for laugh out loud funny movies.
I hope everyone realizes how unrealistic this movie is. Once it is brought to their attention, astronomers all over the world would verify the object and its trajectory. There wouldn't be any doubt about its existence. There is no way that only two people on the whole planet would know about it.
You do realize the comet is a metaphor right? And also, we’ve never experienced a comet headed towards Earth… it may not come into question but the response might be similar lmao.
I think the point is that it doesn't matter what scientists say anymore. People believe what they want. The movie is very realistic precisely because people today refuse to attend to facts even when they're plainly presented.

Mark Rylance was like a retro Bond villain, I loved it. His performance was hilarious.
Think you missed the whole point of Jennifer's role. She was treated worse than the male character, though she was the most honest from the start.
I will have to disagree with your opinion in regards of Jennifer Lawrence's performance. I thought she was great and the perfect choice for the role. Leo was also fantastic, but I didn't care much about his family, I sometimes would forget he was married with kids... so didn't feel a connection with them right at the end when they were at the dinner table. But overall, this movie surprised me, I really enjoyed it... Mark Rylance and Jonah Hill were standouts!
I disagree with Jennifer Lawrence i thought she was amazing in it.
Her character was totally relatable.
I don’t think that you actually disagree with Jennifer Lawrence.
In a normal world this movie should have been a sci-fi satire but the fact so many of us can see so many similarities with our current day and age is problematic to say the least
It wouldn't be satire if it didn't parallel things happening today.
I thought Jeniffer Lawrence was the representation of a person yelling at people for being ignorant and ignoring evidence to stop what could happen like the representation of somebody that's fed up what how crazy the world has become with like misinformation
As a scientist, this has been me in the last few years, and I could totally relate!
Opening with a 53 Metacritic with 21 reviews and a 58% RT with 19 reviews. Edit: 63% RT with 24 reviews, so take in consideration that it can grow some more.
Definitely not the BP winner some were predicting. Still can get some noms. I can't see getting Director when the competition is a lot stronger than the Vice year.
I would put a little less stock in those reviews. Adam McKay's flims tend to get a lot of partisan reviews. I respect McKays flims because of how shamelessly political they are. Anti SJWs and their ilk are making movies walk on eggshells with their portrayal of social issues and here comes Adam McKay going balls to the wall with unmistakeably left wing satire.
It's a smart movie and the general public are morons. (Hence the low ratings) That's irony you can eat with a fork.
I thought JLaw's character worked. She was a millennial who didn't understand the insanity of the "leaders." "Why would a general charge us for free snacks?" She was a Ph.D. student who found the comet, and by the end of the movie, she's working retail. Then she starts this relationship even though she's pretty sure the world is doomed. But she makes this human decision to keep going on. And that was the point of their relationship. It didn't have a future from the start
I just saw it, and although I enjoyed it, I’m surprised they thought the running time flew by
I thought the Wolf of Wall Street was the only other movie with a really long run time that flew by like that
Leonardo di caprio's character was the most annoying in the movie, i had my eyes rolling everytime he got influenced by some other person and given credit. On the other hand jennifer lawrance's character was the more interrsting and enjoyable character in the movie. Really showcased the media response and social crucification of a woman telling the truth with no stomach for bullshitting whereas the hot guy scientist who actually is just a push over gets all the credit for the findings of lawrance's character.
That was the point of caprios portrayal,, how scientists aren't immune to the pull of celebrities IE FAUCIE,,,
@@chuckthebull yes exactly. And lawrance's character potrayed that perfectly with everything that happens to her.
@@chuckthebull what's interesting is that this has been reflected in real life. Jennifer's performance has been largely pushed aside for the (in my opinion) lesser performance of Leo's .
@@raaid22 As far as acting goes i think everyone did a great job. but i see your point! I enjoyed the film but went away with the nagging feeling this was more about expressing the fear we all have that we screwed the pooch for ourselves as far as the environment and future human extinction event looming right over the horizon. this is the equivalent of an uncomfortable laugh at the inevitable we are all fµcked. yet the profound irony even escapes Hollywood royalty.
@@chuckthebull I thought the first half was good and focused and then the second act (once the rockets turned around) the focus was all over the place, and I think the movie suffered because of that.
The final 10 minutes were the most affective to me. Seeing how people respond to the existential dread of the "end" quickly approaching.
Am I the only one who always tries to predict what question they are going to ask at the end? I only guessed right once so far, like a year and a half ago, lmao.
I love your quips on the titles at the very end. Always make me laugh. Haha
Congrats to Adam McKay on yesterday's Detroit film Critics Society Awards for original screenplay. It did lose to The French Dispatch for ensemble and in other categories to other films, but its gotta be a major player moving through this awards season.
Honestly I loved Don’t Look up! It’s uncomfortable because of how scarily accurate it is! Really well done and I’m so happy that this was made! More as a cautionary tale with climate change…it’s a kick in the ass to wake up!!
i actually really liked Jennifer in the film. I think her character was meant to be this tipically conscious about society and complaining sort of woman. Personally i think she delivered her performance very naturally and in a fresh way.
Good lord this movie was tough to get through
It was like hearing a really long prophecy.
So unless ducornau magically gets in, this is the first year since 1950 where all 5 director nominees were nominated before
campion, pta, branagh, del toro, villineueve ?
@@bncbcbbc31 Del Toro is not happening. And PTA is on the fence. It is Campion, Spielberg, Villenueve, Branagh and McKay/PTA.
@@bncbcbbc31 wtf? Literally all of these have been nominated before
@@richierich7229 PTA is not really on the fence. Villenueve is more in my opinion. He directed a science fiction film. The academy awards doesn't like that. McKay is interesting. The academy awards likes him a lot. But I do agree Del Toro isn't gonna happen.
@@richierich7229 licorice pizza is much more critically acclaimed than dont look up. Mckay will definitely not be nominated.
Best movie in quite some time. So astute of you to point out how it seems both extreme and very close to reality.
Considering that Netflix has funded big budget movies such as 6 Underground, The Irishman, The Grey Man, Red Notice, Outlaw King (try combining those movie's budget together), I'm not surprised they can hired and paid this many A list actor to do a movie together
Honestly loved the movie
I watched it over Christmas and was really underwhelmed. It was really badly written and a lot of the jokes just didn’t land. I thought Leonardo Di Caprio and Mark Rylance were the standout performances. Jennifer Lawrence’s characters very often come across as moody teenagers rather than adult going through genuinely traumatic events.
I'm a bit stunned this film has a 56% on Metacritic. Lower than Vice and The Big Short. I'm wondering if critics simply find it meh because it's an absurd comedy.
Poking fun at their own industry makes them uncomfortable...but its also very ironic that they all are embodying every joke themselves
it should be 28% or less honestly LOL i enjoyed kong vs godzilla a lot more, i loved how it showcased humans mistreat towards lizards and MONKE, really deep movie
Based on what I've seen, a lot of critics are saying the film is too on the nose and not very subtle. But I gotta admit, this film isn't the least bit to try and be subtle, this wasn't a film for subtext, it's meant to hammer in it's satire and has no shame laughing at it. And for that, I fucking loved it.
@@jongon0848 I've been waiting a long time for a movie like this!
I disagree about JLaw. I never liked her performances but this one was quite good. I don't get how can you like T. Chalomee's character and not like hers. His character was completely obsolete.
As someone who does not share the political opinions of Adam Mckay (and I would even go as far to say that he's a dissociated millionaire who has no clue what he's talking about half the time), I thoroughly enjoyed The Big Short and Vice, and I expect to enjoy this one as well. It's not about political sides, per se... it's the fact that regardless of left or right, the government would ultimately take advantage of this situation to screw us all over.
What's actually funny and terrorizing at the same time is not one of these rich actor's give a real toss about changing their own narasasitic lives to reduce their own environmental footprints but heap that full responsibility all onto the "little people" pedestrian public. Yeah no! It's never their Hollywood royalty that morphed the mentality and psychological aspects of consumerism into the fabric of society and culture for serving their own bottom line, but they get to use their art to absolve their guilt by pretending they care. How truly ironic this film is escapes all of them while embodying every joke themselves. There is the scene at the end with native person banging a drum for the "feels" of it and yet they have been hit the hardest by the onset of the industrial revolution all accross the world and ongoing (Standing rock) ever sins.
@@chuckthebull why are you focusing the blame on individuals instead of the corporations and conglomerates. Hollywood is not run by actors, it's run by the CEOs and Studios heads. Pollution main source isn't hollywood, it's the fossil fuel industry. You're falling for the same distraction game you think you catched on to, attacking people who disagree with you politically while the billionaires laugh all the way to the bank.
@@waldo8040 I have already said that. So because all you can see is one paragraph that must be all I am too. The irony just keeps coming....
@@waldo8040 funny how you missed the point I made on other threads about the MIC is not even counted in the statistics on environmental impact. Im pointing out the hypocrisy of the film and actors,,, I don't have all day to enlighten you on the real issues they are also avoiding. At least you have gained some small clue who the real perps are that they are also covering up for, but blame the "little people" funny they never mention any of that in the film either how the corporate structure gets the free pass..Hollywood also pollutes grossly.
Odd this hero worship and status symbolism that absolve the class levels of any accountability due to fame.
And the amount of waste in the film industry is also legendary (I work in it as a maker) honestty and integrity makes me bite the hand that feeds me. Most people in this business are intellectual cowards.
@@chuckthebull the ending of the movie was literally the planet being destroyed because a capitalist used his access to the " pro-business" president to end the government response and launch his private money making operation. I don't see how it can be more accurate than that. That's the world we live in, where everything has to go through the private sector because certain political ideologies turned us against supporting national efforts. For so long they paid their puppets to say climate change is a hoax, then it was real but we didn't cause it, then it was real we caused it but not itsn't a big deal, then it was real and big deal but we can't do anything about it. Corporate greed is killing our planet and focusing on "hollywood celebrities being smug "is culture war nonsense meant to distract. As far as I know rich people acting smug is not causing the hurricanes and droughts.
Our favorite cinephile twins! 😍
also can't wait for this movie!
Literally like the only cinephile twins you know
I trust Adam McKay, he has a pretty good track record. I knew this movie with this many A list talent and him behind the camera would absolutely be good
I turned this off as soon as you called JLaw the weakest link. How can you call leos character the emotional centre when it was clearly j law who played the role. Leo was tbe character who was trying to do the right thing but within the bounds of the game and failed. J law stuck with her conviction and refused to play the game.
**DISCLAIMER: Note that this is political satire and not an actual sci-fi doomsday movie.**
Non-american here checking in. And I just gotta say that there's one particular thing stat stands out to me: The movie obviously DOES directly target Republicans, and I'm confused about people saying it doesn't.
There literally was a news montage of Republican conspiracy theorists that had a part directly saying something along the lines of "Republicans are statisticly more likely to have dumb beliefs". It stood out to me as a hostile and actually just rude caricature.
The movie is vulgar.
--------------------
I just like sci-fi, I don't get this movie, I'm sorry. I'm not it's target audience.
And as a non-american, I hate that I was tricked into watching another piece of media about your polarising reality-TV politics under the guise of sci-fi. Your politics and media is annoying, and it's kinda depressing stumbling upon it as landmines every now and then.
There are some truly amazing glimpses of a sci-fi flick in there that I was hoping would turn the movie around. The opening is fantastic(!!!). But after they are introduce the dum-dum Trump parody president, it linearly decreases in appeal all the way 'till the last 5 minutes.
I don't think Street was Trump or parody of him - my take was her character pretended to be like Trump in the movie to take advantage of the already existing Maga supporters portrayed in the movie - ie, she was trying to make use of the Trump phenomenon to stay in power. Have only seen the movie once, may have it wrong. To me, she represents the tension of most politicians trying to stay in power and also solve state problems - not typical to be able to do both the tragedy of politics.
If you think our politics and media is annoying and you're a non-American, you should try living here. It's hell. That said, it's way more than a sci-fi movie. The target audience is people who live on planet earth and want to save it.
"I hate that I was tricked into watching another piece of media about your polarising reality-TV politics under the guise of sci-fi. Your politics and media is annoying, and it's kinda depressing stumbling upon it as landmines every now and then." This sums up my feelings on the movie too! Thank you! I'm also non-american. Made the mistake of watching Death to 2021 just before this movie - it was the same shit, even more so. I would say Don't look up is neather sci-fi nor comedy.
@@Eutha I've heard it described as primal scream.
Aww you're having a little cry about conservatives being mocked. Lol. The movie makes fun of liberals too. Don't be too sensitive.
Honestly I loved this movie
Rather than investing 2+ hours watching Adam McKay, et al., shooting fish in a barrel with a blunderbuss, just check your email inbox, where the messages are often not nearly so tedious or witless.
I can't wait to see this. For now I'll just sit tight. And access.
Sit tight? And access?
I love me some yelling Leo.
4:55 why that picture? His so-called 'Oscar clip' shouting scene was on the news. That scene was just him screaming for 2 seconds then the rest is off screen or a long shot of his back to the camera,
Just watched, and I find it so interesting that Jennifer Lawrence had several "Oscar moments" but they weren't at mentioned in this review, Leo has the same moment and these reviewers predict an Oscar nomination in his future. Jennifer Lawrence was the best part of this movie. Leo really didn't have much to do.
The humor was ...pleasant, but I didnt actually laugh.
Overall the movie was just medium. Better than vice but worse than the big short.
I just hope this movie doesn't turn into Movie 43 😂
11:37 istg I have the biggest crush on you two now and justin's cold humor is just so hilarious
honestly disapointed by the movie, they tried too hard and was carried by the actors, ppl will say anything is good if its a bit smug and leo is in it i guess

Have y’all updated your Oscar prediction list after seeing Nightmare Alley and West side story? I’m curious to see if Ariana DeBose is a front runner for Supporting Actress on the list. I have this feeling that she could sweep the critics choice and globes, easily.
stay tuned for critics choice and golden globe predictions for more thoughts on that
Wait, the globes is still a thing? I thought it was shot down because of the allegations of lack of diversity in the HFP and how they choose the winners and nominees
@@nancykerrigan Nope, the Golden Globes are still up and running in this year’s awards season. It’s just not being Broadcast on television like it usually does. So you’ll see the list on their website or Twitter, getting updated
@@TheOscarExpert Do you think the King's Men could bag a few nominations. They had a UK premiere recently. It's got good reviews. And this year there might be tough competition in the cinematography production design costume design VFX etc technical categories after a long time!
no, she's not happening. The two actress categories are so stacked.
They’re showing this in at my local theatre for one night only Thursday and I’m thinking of going
This movie was great, but one part I love was when Mark Rylance told Leo that he was gonna die alone and that ended up not being the case, only goes to highlight just how wrong he was and how he was purely guided by a hubris and a narcissism that ultimately failed him.
I think we needed the contrast of Leo and Jen’s characters. Both were deeply upset about the reality, but they handled it in different ways. Jen was younger and more idealistic… she stuck to her truth the whole time, was criticized for it and in the end was so broken down that she just said fuck it, we’re all doomed and at least I tried. I think that accurately depicts how a lot of GenY and GenZ feel right now. Progressives are trying to fix the system but it’s too powerful and corrupt to defeat and a sense of doom and apathy dominate their thoughts.
Leo was a bit older and was more swayed by the allure of celebrity, an affair, and more trusting of the institutions he was told would protect society. He represents a more GenX to Boomer (he’s not that old, but his mentality is there) where he still believes in democracy, the media and even capitalist society at least somewhat and that somehow it’s all going to work out. He only snaps when he keeps getting proven wrong over and over again that the system is too corrupt and he realizes the only good that’s left is the family he abandoned after being seduced by fame. If you only had one character, we wouldn’t have the nuance of how different generations are reacting to the various challenges society is facing right now.
I think there's a lot of truth in this comment. But we need Gens Y and Z to keep trying.
Have never seen an Adam McKay movie, the start was so banal I quit it after 10 mjnutes, not always patient enough with subtle beginnings oops. Gave it a 2nd shot once better informed by friends. Cried and laughed, it was beautiful.
I'm a literacy teacher. I teach The Importance of being Ernest. I tell them it was meant to be funny, a satire meant to criticize Victorian England culture. One question i get is "did people watching the play think it was funny?" Now I can answer it better.
The Ariana grande song made no sense to me where she has a concert..
I think Cate Blanchett and Leonardo Dicaprio carried the movie, they were the only reason I kept watching till the end
I didn’t really believe Kate and Timothy chalamets relationship.
Honestly, because of how true and scarily accurate the depictions of our broken humanity were in this movie, I actually didn’t see it as comedic…at all. I felt extremely saddened and depressed by the end of the movie, because as much as I think society is f**ked up, i cared about most of the main characters (the good ones, at least), the same way I care about humanity in general. It felt more like a sci-fi “satire” (loose term) drama that sticks with you because of the powerful message behind it. We are all hypocrites in some way, but that definitely didn’t invalidate any of the points made in the movie.
Leonardo DiCaprio deserves an Oscar just for the news meltdown scene alone. I don’t even think we was acting in that scene, because I 100% believe that was all genuinely his feelings.
This movie is great, if it can be a little less comical. I almost feels like it could work perfectly in animation medium, cus Live Action really baffling on how i suppose to perceived this and all the people in it feels like they come straight out of some kind a cartoon
Thank you for posting your vídeos collaborating with automatic translator in portugueses for Brasilians.Beautiful Boys!.I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
I loved this movie and I’m surprised how many people hate it. My best friend watched it before me and hated it. He was preparing me for maybe being disappointed. I wasn’t and disagreed with his takes completely. I loved Jennifer Lawrence’s character and thought she was the perfect actress to play her. I’d like to think if I was in their situation I would be like her. She was so brave and fearless and stood up to everyone. I unfortunately think I’d probably be more like Leo and be too scared to say anything and just try and go along with everything, regardless of how wrong I know it is. I was glad he got a backbone in the end and tried to fix things, even though it was far too late by that point. I found this movie to be hilarious despite its bleak subject matter. It did however really make me think and stayed with me long after the credits were done.
"This movie isiterally the world we live in!" jesus...
Have you guys seen West Side Story yet? Will a review be up soon?
Seeing this tonight, can't wait. Disaster movies have always been my guilty pleasure.
Well. What did u think?
@@newagain9964 I posted a review if you want to check it out, basically it wasn't bad. But could have been better.
@@carissaluttonmovietalk It was prob the best end of the word movie. I didn’t like how POTUS/admin went from being any party to conservatives. The left has its own dogmatic nonsensical and corrupt bs too.
6:54 "he's just a different generation" 😂
did anyone notice that this won WGA over Licorice Pizza
Jennifer Lawrence’s charecter ruined the movie for me. I feel like they added Timothy’s charecter in just as an excuse to say he was in the film
This is definitely gonna get Best Picture , Supporting actor , supporting actress, screenplay, and original song nominations
I’m guessing the supporting actor would be Mark Rylance?
@@seankoontz4235 yep
I don't they they'll nominate Meryl. I think the movie will get Best Score

Re: the visual effects, am I the only one who felt the movie really didn’t look that great at all? Didn’t watch this at the cinema so it might have something to do with that but throughout the entire thing I couldn’t help but think that most of the visuals will age badly. Thoughts?
Guess they were adequate. But I was paying more attention to the story than the cinematography.
Finally, some critics (you) get the message!
Personally, I loved it.
I still can’t figure out why they have Rob Morgan that funky looking fake hair. His character could have easily just been bald and nothing at all changes about the character/movie. Unless he’s playing a stand-in for a real life person, I just don’t get his fake hair. At least Chalamet’s has a purpose to try and make him look like a burnout. The discourse around this movie is insane but the real question is what’s up with Rob Morgan’s fake hair?
I enjoyed this review.
I get early Schmoes Know vibes from this channel, like 2009 Shmoes Know, it's fantastic
Not the oscar contender I was expecting.
Every single person I’ve interacted with that actively hated this movie couldn’t really defend their position beyond “leftwing propaganda movie bad”. I liked the film a lot.
DiCaprio doesn't need the Oscars. The Oscars need DiCaprio, he has to be nominated for this, and I'm also prediction a nomination for the golden globes in the comedy cathegory, since this movie is a satire
I think Peter Dinklage is taking the Globe. The globes prefer musicals to comedies. Leo in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood lost to Taron Edgerton in Rocketman. Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook lost to Hugh Jackman in Les Mis.
@@richierich7229 Yeah thats a good point, let's wait and see. Sometimes some actors that we think are getting a nomination for sure are snubbed, I wouldnt be impressed if Dinklage got a snub here. 5 days and we will have a better idea of the nominations, and on who the critics are placing their bets
Dinklage, Garfield and DiCaprio are in for that GG nomination. I see Cooper Hoffman happening too... but Garfield seems too far ahead to lose it.
Wrong
My not-so-crazy prediction is that Jennifer Lawrence will be the only nomination the film gets at the Oscars, because she's the only thing that works consistently in the movie and Academy is obsessed with her. Y'all are far off in your assessment in her performance verses the other actors. She did what Leo did well, just a few more times in the movie. Plus she had the funniest (running) joke of the movie about the General who charged for the snacks. You guys talk about the precedence of Sam Rockwell getting a nomination, but not about J Law getting a nom for every damn movie she does. Including getting the ONLY nomination for Joy (another underwhelming movie by an Oscar-loved off beat comedy director). It feels like you have something against her for not acknowledging her appeal and history w the Oscars, seeing how you guys are ~Oscar experts~
The movie was so flat. I hardly laughed for it being a comedy. And it blamed random people for the crisis more than it did Democrats in power who also do nothing about climate change. It felt like a political burn book with no awareness of the problem and no courage to tackle the issue in a nuanced way.
Simmer down. Like everyone else, this channel is analyzing a lot with precursors. She got Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations for Joy so her Oscar nom wasn’t a big surprise. She didn’t get any nominations for Dont Look Up so far, not even any local critics awards.
She doesn’t get a nomination for everyhing she does. Are you ok? What did she get for starring in Passengers, Red Sparrow and Mother?! She made so many bad choices in a row, she had to take a break.
This movie was so bad.
Not sure what you look for in a movie, but it worked for me.
This movie is funny, clever, timely, and entertaining.
I've seen it three times.
I ignored the scary truth in it, so I could just enjoy it.
Just watched this, I liked
Meh movie. It’s really going to be disappointing if this is nominated for Best Picture.
The reviews aren't great so far, 63% on rotten tomatoes I know vice didn't get great reviews either
It will go much higher in the next few days I expect
I can't believe Adam McKay has besmirched his legacy with this snoozefest; editor Hank Corwin needs to be evaluated by psychoanalysts after allowing this monstrosity. The humor was not up my alley (so on the nose) but definitely laughed a couple times; good movie for high schoolers
I would argue his early stuff Step Brothers, Taladaga, Anchor man, is for kids. This was clearly very deliberately on the nose. It's weird to hear that as a criticism. Was Galaxy Quest too on the nose parodying Star Trek, or was that not the entire point? I personally found it very funny but not the jokes and quips, more the breakdowns, the stress and confusion, the disbelief and realising how fucked they were. The rest of the movie just had me angry like I have been these last 4/5 years as it was so perfectly satired with what is happening. I think if you are very concerned with the ever increasing material capitalism in the world you will support the movie. But if you think everything is ok and nothing needs to change you probably didn't notice you were watching a movie.
Thanks, OE! Thanks, BB! ☄ #TheOscarExpert #AdamMcKay #DontLookUp #DontLookUp2021
Gosh this film is so dull. If it gets many Oscar noms, it will just be a headscratcher for me.

What's actually ironic and funny and terrorizing at the same time is not one of these rich actor's give a toss about changing their own narasasitic lives to reduce their own environmental footprints but heap that full responsibility all onto the "little people" pedestrian public. It's never there Hollywood royalty that morphed the mentality and psychological aspects of consumerism into the fabric of society and culture for serving their own bottom line, but they get to use their art to absolve their guilt by pretending they care. How truly ironic this film is escapes all of them while embodying every joke themselves. And interviews for add revenue,,I'm sure they tell themselves they are doing good works by being the messenger with their art.
Interesting that you guys thought the humor was a little deeper than most critics. From what I've heard in reviews, most folks thought it was preaching to the choir, had too much of a liberal bent (as in "Hahaw, look at how stupid Trumpsters are," etc.), and came across as "smug" and holier-than-thou elitist in its tone. I saw words like "smug," "egomaniacal," and "pretentious" tossed around in writings about this feature.
Ok yeah, I’m hyped.
i don't see any Oscar noms for this one
Ok, OE, I see that shirt
(movie is SATIRE) Got an insurance statement for an URGENT CARE. A vagrant homeless friend suggested an URGENT-CARE instead of a WALK-IN as a means of sooner attention than an EMERGENCY. Backwards no? Pretty hard to see where Greek word hospitality and hospital means show love to strangers but instead love their wallets.
So the Urgent Care demands $50 (and insurance sends statement they were paid $450) and the only thing she the doctor did was take a look and say yep you should go to your doctor or ER. The lump i feared (for 3 weeks) could be infection from Hawaii lava rock that skinned me leaving particles in it, eventually went down and my other leg did have the same shape lesser lump in the same spot.
Need I say the system paying the rich to be richer for doing NOTHING. It reminds me of movie DONT LOOK UP where the Urgent Care goes topless on last day and a restaurant table orgy is shown on the roof. Not quite detailed like WallStreet Wolf but about 5 times more people.
So now i have a cough and sneeze that feels like muscle ripping off ribs, or broken ribs, and i have a hernia mesh to worry as involved. Blood drew Monday but no CT until next Monday, and no word of the blood results. I go to the ER, they sign me in, take a covid test and i wait 2 hours (30m before swab, 90m after swab) in which i'm in the general waiting room where nonbilled nonpatients sit with their admitted waiting ones. Goodbye walk-out that's 2 hours i can TEND to my OWN emergency. Let those who die from the asteroid get all they deserve and know they were told, because they act as if doctors are gods and all your problems are from not going to doctors or obeying doctors or worshipping them not even blaming them when they do end up killing you. Death to them all by God's asteroid to remodel-EARTH.
Aw snap! Here we go!
Modern day Idiocracy, great movie.
This movie is average at best
I think this one might be too funny to be nominated for best picture if that makes any sense. The academy generally doesn’t go for laugh out loud funny movies.
Why do y’all care so much about awards? Y’all work for a production company or something? Creepy.
I hope everyone realizes how unrealistic this movie is. Once it is brought to their attention, astronomers all over the world would verify the object and its trajectory. There wouldn't be any doubt about its existence. There is no way that only two people on the whole planet would know about it.
You do realize the comet is a metaphor right? And also, we’ve never experienced a comet headed towards Earth… it may not come into question but the response might be similar lmao.
Are you for real?
I think the point is that it doesn't matter what scientists say anymore. People believe what they want. The movie is very realistic precisely because people today refuse to attend to facts even when they're plainly presented.
I like movies where Americans take themselves very seriously. My favorite is The Ten Commandments ⚡️ it's the most American movie I've seen.
You can laugh at us. Just be careful you don't become like us. We were once great.
Downplaying the significance of phones in our lives is absurd.. Are people really this dumb?
Mark Rylance is supposed to be joe Biden the way he acts
Rylance. That's all I'll say
West Side Story next?
This movie looks meh
Is this supposed to be a parallel for climate change or covid?
Climate change. It was packaged before covid arose. But it works for covid too, doesn't it?
Honestly one of the most naff films I have seen for a while. Way too heavy handed. Seemed like it was written by a teen going through their edgy phase
