  Mickey 17 2025

  Watched 23 Mar 2025

  Liked it well enough! Between Robert Pattinson giving a really solid performance, Toni Collette as a sauce-mongering fascist, cute creatures, and American / British Space "not-zis" there's enough here to justify watching it even though the through line of Mickey's development / what I assume must be "accepting" the Mickey 18 inside of himself is muddled and will often have you thinking "what just happened?"

  Montage of Mickey casually going through Unit 731-esque "experiments" should've been a bigger part of the movie / at least not revealed in the trailer
