tbf Don't Look up was pretty cringe
How so? To me it was based for a hollywood film, although it falls short of any meaningful systemic critique, or highlights any of the devastating human costs of climate change in a realistic, respectful way, at least it acknowledged there was a problem and the billionaire elite are part of it.
Might just be that it didn't land for me, obviously the subject matter is important but it seemed too corny or on-the-nose IMO.
I just hated the editing.
Anything that wants to satirize billionaire tech moguls while simultaneously repeating every stupid advertising promise of "AI so powerful it can accurately predict your death", or "no worries, we'll just pop in the secret rich-person starship" is doing a pretty awful job at satire.
