Don’t Look Up Movie Review: I don’t know what it is about Adam McKay’s style of directing that makes films that sound very bland on paper be very enjoyable. For example, The Big Short follows the story of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, and turns out it was a great comedy-drama. Vice, a biopic about Dick Cheney, another fun political comedy-drama, a bit divisive, but still entertaining. This lands us on Don’t Look Up that while it has many questionable aspects to it, still manages to be one of this year’s most fun and entertaining films.

Don’t Look Up follows two astronomers who discover a comet that’s on a crash collision to Earth, and one that will cause an extinction level event. The majority of Don’t Look Up sees them trying to convince Earth that the comet is real and will destroy the planet. It’s a satire of modern day that makes fun of governments trying to deny the inevitable climate change that’s coming upon us while also riffing on modern day %3A+Leonardo+DiCaprio+and+Jennifer+Lawrence%E2%80%99s+Netflix+Film+is+a+Fun+Satire+With+Some+Weird+Aspects+to+It+%28LatestLY+Exclusive%29&via=latestly" title="Tweet">
