Mickey 17

A dark, malicious sci-fi comedy by Bong Joon-ho (“Parasite,” “Snowpiercer”) about a world where life has long lost its value, becoming merely a tool in the hands of the elite. The upper class, cloaked in religious rhetoric, cynically utilizes cloning and “disposable” people for colonization missions.

To escape his debts on Earth, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) agrees to become “disposable material” for a long-term space mission, which means he can be endlessly assigned risky, potentially fatal tasks, resulting in him dying numerous agonizing deaths that he remembers every time he is reprinted on a 3D bioprinter.

The film is timely, satirical, and completely insane. Mark Ruffalo, playing a corporate dictator, seems to have intentionally rewatched Trump’s speeches before filming, as he fits so caricaturally into this role.
