I just saw the film and you're right that the marketing for this film is difficult. The trailer sets up one story, but that is just the start.

I thought the trailer did a good job setting things up because I could tell it was dancing around "something" but didn't want to reveal it. I was intrigued to learn more and figured I'd give it a shot.

I didn't expect what I got, but I really enjoyed it.

I read the synopsis and it was confusing and convoluted as fuck. I might check it out one day, but chances are higher that I will forget and watch other less dystopian things lol.

Tbh I do want to see it, but I kinda have to agree that the trailers made it seem very tone deaf (though I believe that's what they were going for as well).

I was slightly disappointed in Mickey 17 because of the weird government people on the ship, which give me the same vibes.
