It is this film, I believe, that received him The Pressure Awakens gig. It additionally kickstarted the profession of the one true Chris, Chris Pine. Nonetheless holds up at present.

I simply watched The Colony lately. It is surprisingly good!

It follows a really acquainted trope: Wealthy individuals returning to Earth years after abandoning it, to search out it overrun by new, unknown threats.

Do not Look Up is much from an ideal film. It reeks of Hollywood faux-activism and it is too lengthy and manner too on the nostril. Nevertheless it nonetheless feels necessary and in addition… fairly humorous? 

I feel no matter its flaws, Do not Look Up is a film that has had a web optimistic on the world and it is value watching.
