Adam McKay's films Vice and The Big Short, take a humorous look at past events, successfully balancing a fine line between being informative, compelling, challenging and also being very funny.
Don't Look Up, follows in the same vein however uses a highly fictitious situation as the backdrop. Massive comet coming to earth, the direct Impact of which will wipe out all life on the planet.
This film takes aim and delivers very successfully on satirising the absurdity of: Climate Change denial, The US Political System, media manipulation of information, the disconnected view of the super wealthy, and society's obsession with celebrity.
It fits a lot in, but delivers with aplomb, helped enormously by a fantastic grade A cast who put in some excellent performances! Very enjoyable to watch, hopefully people learn something from it as well as being thoroughly entertained!
