Overview
Two low-level astronomers must go on a giant media tour to warn humankind of an approaching comet that will destroy planet Earth.
It’s really hard to pull off a couple of hours of satire in a movie and this movie reinforces this premise. While the cast is top-notch and I completely got and am on board with the point that the movie was trying to make. After about a half an hour I just had to turn it off because it felt like the same bit (people don’t care about the important things) over and over again. It reminded me of the tv show Veep in that sense – at some point it just felt like the same situations and dialog over and over. It’s a shame because the message is so important.
