    They didn't listen to by beloved Michigan State University Spartan scholars. They were more concerned with dope stuff, lol! It's a good movie.

    One reviewer quote

    "While Writer/Directer McKay says the movie was intended as a metaphor for climate change deniers, 2021 viewers will see a lot of similarities to the COVID-19 pandemic. (For instance, the way the mere act of “looking up” becomes politicized is eerily reminiscent of the political discourse over whether or not to wear a mask during the coronavirus.)"

    That was really something as a Black Comedy for sure. Watching it around the holidays may not have been the best timing but I liked it. The sociopathic BASH CEO seemed somewhat Tim Cook(ish) lol. I hope I don't get eaten by a Brontaroc but I don't want to know........

    I liked it. It's a bit scary how our society and politics are dangerously close to getting there...

    Actually, I saw Jeff Bezos. Cook, has been fighting climate for years. Bezoar, not so much. Check out his interviews about his rocket. LOL.

    Yeah, when she gets eaten by the alien Dinosaur at the end....priceless. I thought it was probably one of the worst movies I've seen considering all the major star talent in it. Yes, it was tongue in cheek and made fun of current situations, but still...on the level of those American pie movies. Best thing I can say about is...at least it was a tad different. Just a tad....because we have had our fill of comets hitting the earth movies, end of the planet movies by what ever means. Just craving for an original thought coming out of Hollyweird.
