This movie was exactly as advertised - awkwardly charming, funny, and fully submerged in socio-political critique. Though it feels very obvious and surface level, I don't think that makes it any less intricate than Parasite, which is the unavoidable comparison I hear people bringing up. Mickey 17 was never going to match it's predecessor in that way, and that's okay. It was an entertaining movie and still contained multitudes.

Alien: Romulus 2024
Oh my god he's Aitistic.

Hits more like an action than a horror, which isn't a bad thing but it feels like wasted potential to switch the genre so early on in the series. Still so fun though, with just the right amount of cheese. We love final girlS (we don't love that only women can fight each other but I'm not THAT mad about it). Some sick shots top it off to make a good ride :)
