This kind of film is right up my street in the Starship Troopers/Fifth Element. Big budget absurd sci Fi satire that's also very funny. The anticapitalist satire is so extreme and on the nose yet I don't think it hits the mark in the way Parasite so cleverly did. The performances are great, Ruffalos Trump/Elvis hybrid and his dynamic with Colette was so repellent yet couldn't take my eyes off it. The plot seemed to lose its way a little bit towards the end and I felt more could have been made of the ethics of Expendables but all in all loved the goofy space comedy.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
