Has anyone here watched "Don't Look Up" on Netflix?

I thought it was excellent. I think the bad reviews are from journalists who don't like the way they're being portrayed.

thinking it was a serious sci-fi thriller. I wasn't sure if they were trying to be funny until Jonah Hill's character made his appearance. From then on I laughed my ### off.
Is the movie trying to send a message about Covid or global warming or both?

look at the stupidification of America by our whorish media. Year 2000 America would look at 2022 America and tell us we’re dumb AF, and they wouldn’t be wrong.

"Network" did that in 1975.

I'll tell you that I was reminded of "Network" over and over again in its theme.
"Network" was a great movie that a lot of people would benefit from watching today.

I'm not sure it ever really got the credit that it truly deserved over the long haul.

After I saw it I checked Rotten Tomatoes out of curiosity and couldn't believe how mixed the reviews were. Dew wreck or mend.

wasn't even remotely subtle which can rub a lot of people the wrong way. I also think the media is portrayed in a very negative light as well which probably upset some reviewers 
I really enjoyed the movie

That movie had enough excellent actors in it, but yet it wasn'tt even remotely funny.
Its probably #1 or #2 of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Now where is deweather to tell me how wrong I am?

in a verrrrry campy way. I can see why you might hate it though.
I haven't seen "Don't Look Up" yet but I hear it's pretty polarizing.

Not going for the glam.
I almost didn't recognize Cate Blanchett.

I have heard people I respect say it is really worth watching, but I also have read the media panning it. That males sense. I will check it out.
