  As several folks have pointed out, this movie was in development pre-pandemic and was conceptualized as an allegory for climate change. Obviously I should have acknowledged that, though McKay has said that the pandemic altered some elements of the film and informed the making of it. Also, I said astrology instead of astronomy. Sorry.

  The continued recollection of the general charging them for snacks was the best. Lawrence delivers it perfectly

  This film was actually in development before the pandemic- it was always meant to be a metaphor for climate change. But the pandemic has certainly added a whole new layer to it.

  Spoiler: <br><br>The greatest joke was the UN announcement they were going to do something when it was 5 months late. So accurate!

  I really liked the end. &nbsp;I’m not sure what that says about me but something about the dinner scene was touching.

  Can we talk about how good Tyler Perry is when not dressed up as a grandma?

  Went in 100% blind and absolutely loved the movie. As a Greek who&apos;s never been to the US but grew up swimming in US media, I loved the lambasting of both democrats and republicans, influencers, the media, anti-intellectuals, money-hungry corpos and everything else the movie lambasts. It feels exactly like what the last two years have felt!

  This is going to be a true depiction of how this world will end and exactly how the media and people will treat it

  I didn&apos;t laugh a lot, but holy shit, this is exactly how this scenario would play out in the real world. There would be politicians who would use this for political gains, there would some Musk/Bezos/Zuckerberg type who would think of something completely batshit insane and unproven to try over something scientifically sound, and a lot of people would not believe it even when the reality will hit them in the face.<br><br>This is one of the best movies I&apos;ve seen this year.

  It&apos;s not supposed to be fluffy or easy to watch. It&apos;s shining light on the reality of what the world is. It&apos;s funny, it&apos;s sad, it&apos;s moving, and deserves a much higher rating than critics are giving it.
