In Bong Joon Ho’s wildly improbable Sci-Fi Follow-Up to ‘Parasite’ we see Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes play a repeatedly reconstituted “expendable. This film is a dark comedy set in a nascent ice planet colony where Mickey Barnes finds himself in the extraordinary circumstance of dying, for a living. Adapted from the idea of Edward Ashton’s sci-fi novel “Mickey7” we have 18 Mickey’s to contend with here. This crazy sci-fi satire paints a grim future where Earth is no longer habitable, and the four-year mission to the ice planet Niflheim depends on disposable human copies.
This film is supposedly a comedy and the Korean director’s third English-language movie, has a dark look and presents blunt satire but it’s hard to find the laughs in such an outlandish setup. The endless supply of Pattinson clones don’t do it a favor either.
