Man I really wanted to enjoy this movie and just struggled with it from the start. Nothing works in this thing, the “Marty McFly” esque narration is just grating. I am not sure if is the break neck speed of the story or just how obvious and trite the social commentary is, all the jokes don’t land. Subtly has never been Bong Joon Ho‘s strength but man this thing just made my eyes roll and man it was tough being stuck with the biggest looser in the known universe…
The production values are spectacular.
Read the book, it’s 1000x better. The movie isn’t very good, which is sad since I was looking forward to it.
It is called Mickey7, I am pulling the audio book down now.
The book sequel, while quite different IIRC, was also pretty enjoyable.
Agree, the book is great.
