    Don’t Look Up was dated the moment it was released. The most notable part was when a President was caught in a lie and her supporters immediately turned on her. We already had ample evidence that that wouldn’t happen.

    The movie would’ve been okay if it was released 10 years earlier, but by the time it came out we’d seen real-world situations that were similar enough to what it depicted that the movie became hopelessly tone-deaf.

      That movie just didn’t click with me. It all felt overacted and ham fisted and still felt like it didn’t know what it wanted to be.
