Bong Joon-ho is back with his latest film, Mickey 17, featuring Robert Pattinson as a bio-clone laborer stuck in a cycle of dangerous jobs for a space exploration company. The movie is a satirical take on tech elitism and environmental apathy, drawing parallels with contemporary figures reminiscent of Elon Musk. While Mickey 17 delivers stunning visuals and poignant moments, it can feel loose and overly comedic at times, resembling a children's program. The narrative occasionally suffers from slack pacing, though it maintains Bong's signature blend of horror and humor.
Mickey 17 features Robert Pattinson as a bio-clone worker enduring eternal life in dangerous jobs, critiquing tech elitism and environmental negligence prevalent in space exploration.
Bong Joon-ho’s adaptation captures a visually spectacular experience with moments of pathos, humor, and a critique of the exploitative tendencies of future tech moguls.
