He has aged but he still looks good to me. He’s a good looking guy.

I thought it was tedious. I stopped after about thirty minutes. I felt like I was being lectured by unfunny jokes. And I am a Trump hater.

That’s how I felt. I put it on first thing in the morning and let the kids watch cartoons. Kinda regret it. It’s not that it was bad. Parts of it were very funny and that montage of images at the end got me, particularly the baby in the bath. But it left me feeling hollow. And maybe it was a little too sure if it’s own righteousness?

Loved the casting in this movie. And Jennifer Lawrence’s l obsession with the general who charged them for snacks was genius.
Yeah. I laughed every time that came up.

So funny
We just watched this last night and commented the same to DH. Even with world ending, she could not let the being ripped off go. Hilarious.
Great movie. Depressing in a hilarious way. We humans are predictable idiots.

I feel like this is kind of the start of the next movie that needs to be made. The political idiots and business sharks only get in these positions of power because we have voting citizens who can't defer gratification long enough to make it through more than the first ten minutes of a middle-brow movie.
We have created a country where many think mainly with "gut" and can't handle focusing on anything that doesn't give them an instant dopamine hit with limited intellectual investment. End stage capitalism - a life so easy and comfortable that a movie that doesn't grab attention immediately in first ten minutes is doomed with a subsection of society.
Or maybe it was just boring?

Great he was a good sport about it.

this was me, I really tried. But the bumbling scientist acting was terrible and the godawful haircut/bangs ruined it for me. I couldn’t make it through.Anonymous wrote:We watched first 15-20 minutes and gave up.

We turned it on to watch it last night based on recommendations here, or should I say try to watch it? None of us, even sarcastic teenagers were interested after the first 15 minutes. Maybe we need to fast forward to the midway point?

I had low expectations and really liked it. It’s a great allegory for our current times where facts don’t matter. I think if you look at the comet as climate change, the response of everyone in the movie is dead accurate. It is skewering satire. Much better than I thought it would be.
