Agreed with pretty much everything here, I really enjoyed this film. It plays a lot like Burn After Reading. Also, Mark Ruffalo's commitment to playing Weird Pompous Men is incredible, lol... My read on him this time was "The Lovechild of Donald Trump and Richard Nixon if He Was Raised in the Capital of Panem." I always forget that Pattinson is genuinely funny too.
Oh the Ruffalo read is incredible definitely some Nixon insecurity sprinkled in there!! Pattinson is hilarious; just one of our most gifted guys working right now!
The thing i appreciated most in this movie was the world building, i could watch them talk about the ethics/consequences behind all the future-tech they have for hours.
I loved it! It was fun without being too serious, but I still understood his commentary throughout. Not only that but Mickey and Nasha's relationship made my heart melt.
My feeling is that it's something of a disappointment. It seems to be largely an amalgam of things that we've seen before and have been done better:
1) Clone who becomes rival to self, better done in Moon.
2) Comically incompetent interstellar colonizers, as in Prometheus and Covenant (not necessarily better movies, but certainly more spectacularly dumb spacefarers) as well as Wall-E (incomparably better).
3) Trumpian dystopia - well, look around you. Plus Idiocracy and Wall-E, though of course not as malicious as the real thing but just as dumb.
Then long - much too long. Snowpiercer was only 10 minutes shorter but this one seemed to drag, maybe because there were too many elements jammed in. It's not so much that it dragged, really, just that it felt overstuffed.
I'm hoping this is the last reminder of Trump I have to encounter in a movie this year.
EDIT - thinking I might do a comparative of this one with Duncan Jones' Moon when it's available to stream.

I have no problem with your issues I just found that a lot of these worked for me!! Moon rules and I definitely need to revisit!
Saw it last night too on screen X! Agree with the score. Such a banger, I want a creeper now as pet.
I saw it last night and thought it was pretty good.
I did have some problems with the pacing and I will admit the plot isn’t as magnificent as Parasite (2019), but I still liked Mickey 17.
The pacing being an issue is a very fair criticism and it's not top tier Bong but still solid to me!
Sitting in the cinema right now just about to watch first showing... Will be back to comment when I've seen it!
excited to hear your thoughts!!
