Mickey 17 proves to be a remarkable and unusual film, largely thanks to a stunning portrayal by Robert Pattinson. I saw Mickey 17 featuring Robert Pattinson (known for Tenet and The Batman) in the role of Mickey Barnes/Mickey 17/Mickey 18, alongside Naomie Ackie (Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, Blink Twice) as Nasha Adjaya, Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead) as Timo, Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things) as Kenneth Marshall, Toni…

"Mickey 17," for those who recall earlier times, evokes a feeling similar to Jerry Lewis in outer space. Mickey is a disheartened, awkward character who ends up being something like a replaceable "crash test dummy" sent into space—a way to escape what could be an even worse situation back on Earth, facing ruthless creditors. Frankly, this film left me frustrated from start to finish. It doesn't achieve what it…

It doesn’t break any new ground, and the satirical elements are somewhat obvious, but it proved to be an enjoyable experience with strong visuals, delivering precisely the kind of inappropriate laughter one anticipates. I, like many others, initially drew comparisons to *Parasite*. However, that's not really fair to this film. I certainly didn’t foresee a lighthearted black comedy from Bong Joon Ho that would elic…

'Mickey 17' was a genuinely enjoyable experience at the movies. It features an incredibly absorbing storyline, a wonderful group of performers and some truly impressive visual effects. While I, like many others, hold Bong Joon Ho’s 'Parasite' in high regard, this film personally surpasses it for me. That might just be my own taste; this one is more diverting and seems very likely to be something I’ll want to watch…

“Mickey” (Robert Pattinson) is trying to escape a dangerous situation involving a loan shark and believes leaving the planet offers his best chance. However, he’s not alone in wanting out, so his only option seems to be becoming someone easily replaceable. This means taking on risky jobs and experimental tasks, with the consequence that if he dies or suffers serious injury, he'll simply be discarded and recreated – a…

Certain films manage to strike a nerve, whether by design or sheer luck. Bong Joon Ho's newest film exemplifies this in both respects; it's a hilariously perceptive sociopolitical sci-fi satire that succeeds in numerous ways. In an era of disposable entertainment, “Mickey 17” pushes this concept further by following the story of the title character (Robert Pattinson), who works as an "expendable"—a person tasked with…

The film *Mickey 17* introduces a compelling science fiction idea and prompts thought-provoking inquiries, though it doesn't consistently delve into them as thoroughly as one might hope. Bong Joon-ho once again proves his skill in merging different types of storytelling, but in this instance, the narrative’s satire and absence of nuance ultimately restrict the emotional and intellectual weight of a story dealing w…
