In Mickey 17, the character Mickey grapples with existential questions while navigating a mission as a duplicate. The film's strengths lie in balancing thematic depth with entertainment, highlighted by Pattinson's relatable portrayal and the subplot of his romance with Nasha. However, the filmmakers' attempt at political satire falls flat, lacking the incisiveness needed to resonate in today's world rife with real-life power struggles. Additionally, the film comments on human flaws persisting alongside technological advancement, serving as a cautionary tale about the perils of ego-driven delusions.
Bong's canny plot device of Nasha and Mickey's love affair is instrumental in getting the audience to identify with him.
The expedition's devious-but-dumb leaders, Marshall and Yifa, are revealed not as civic-minded entrepreneurs but as eugenics-huffing supremacists with autocratic aspirations.
