    FILM REVIEW

    “DONT LOOK UP”

    Subject: English
    PLOT and POSITIVES

    Two astronomers go on a media tour to warn


    humankind of a planet-killing comet hurtling
    toward Earth. The response from a distracted
    world: Meh.

    Don’t Look Up is a clever, unapologetically brash


    satire about a future America so consumed with
    celebrity worship, social media popularity, and
    political gamesmanship that it refuses to take the
    impending destruction of planet Earth seriously.

    The comet and the crisis surrounding it are used


    as an effective metaphor by McKay to critique
    everything from modern society’s obsession with
    pop culture, how technology controls us rather
    than the other way around and also takes aim
    even at media and news channels and how they
    sensationalize even the most trivial of stories.
    NEGATIVES

    The movie rests on the shoulders of Leonardo


    DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, but Meryl Streep,
    Jonah Hill, Ariana Grande, Timothee Chalamet, and
    Cate Blanchett are just some of the other names that
    make an appearance. Beyond the core cast though,
    everyone else’s appearance feels forced, and it really
    doesn’t feel like the characters are coming together or
    even adding anything to the story.

    Each character is going through their own experiences,


    but in attempting to capture all of their stories, the
    movie is unable to create a compelling narrative and
    ends up bouncing wildly. The result is a sort of
    cacophony rather than the harmony we’ve come to
    expect; the story flares up, then mellows down
    suddenly; the highs and lows come and go, never quite
    letting you settle in. The movie’s editing also feels
    discordant and frantic, switching from languid,
    lingering shots to rough, panicked scenes.
