Comparing the joyful thief, this motto is a proper summary Mickey 17. This quirky science fiction movie marks filmmakers’ follow-up to the Oscar-winning Parasitethe film excited viewers and critics with the burning sensation of privilege and wealth. The Korean director has worked in English before, including in 2013 Snowpiercerbut it is impossible to see Mickey 17 He did not consider his previous efforts – especially his superb work Parasite. This inevitable comparison may be unfair.

Mickey 17 ★★★ (3/4 stars) |
Mickey 17 Directed and written by Joon-ho based on Edward Ashton's 2022 novel Mickey 7and portray Robert Pattison as the titular Mickey Barnes, a consuming nature of so-called human missionaries to carry out human missions to alien planets. Mickey tries to evade the murder threat of loan sharks with his best friend, Steven Yeun, but has no skills to sell. Timo signed on to the Nilfheim mission for the pilot of Nilfheim, but Mickey's only option was to sell himself as a living experiment. He died there again and again and then was reprinted. The constant cycle caused losses to Mickey, although it was a pleasure for the audience to see him burned to death in space radiation, as he knew he would be with his body and memory.
Mickey's only solace in his four-year journey to Nilfheim is Naomi Ackie, the security agent he immediately fell in love with. She is a highlight in a group that doesn’t really impress Mickey, which he narrates in constant voice-over narratives. The team on board was at the mercy of Kenneth Marshall, a camera-loving politician who wanted to create a “pure” society far from the earth, where he failed to be elected twice. His wife, YLFA (Toni Collette) and a bunch of men (including Preston (Daniel Henshall), are always ready for the next PR moment. Even if Ruffalo and Collette sometimes look like they are in different movies than everyone else, it is convincing, such as controlling the calorie intake of employees to save energy, it is also eye-catching.
But really, Pattinson's performance sales Mickey 17 And make it a pleasant journey. The actor has previously shown his favourite for strangeness in movies lighthouse (Not to mention his appearance method Boy and Heron). Joon-Ho lets Pattison take off the belt, which is absolutely fascinating. In the danger of Mickey's involvement of native creatures in Nilfheim, the Crawler discovers a new Mickey has been printed, causing two people to wander on the boat (and Nasha's bed). The original Mickey is quieter and “soft”, but Mickey 18 is a psychopath. The dynamics are fascinating, and Pattinson has a complex understanding of their differences. Sometimes it's comedian, but it's also fragile, proving Pattinson is more of a character actor than the Hollywood Heartbeat he was made.
Marshall was ostensibly a villain, although the ship boarded the snow-covered Nilfheim, and the setting didn't appear completely until noon after the team discovered the creep. Ruffalo bored the character with a passionate attitude, seemingly ridiculing wealthy politicians, but social sarcasm is occasionally lost. The climate impasse between Mickey, Marshall and the Crawler is drawn and visually struggling, although it is satisfying to see how the two Mickeys reconcile one of the two corpses. Different Snowpiercer and Parasitewhich is evident in their thematic criticism, Mickey 17 It's not always clear in its messages. The highlight of the movie Ackie claims that the Crawler is not an alien, that humans are humans, and that it is a convincing idea, and that's not the whole story. But perhaps not all films require a grander purpose. Joon-Ho has released an active, dynamic film with clever details and leading performances that could be a contender for the award if released later this year. In addition to comparison, Mickey 17 It's a very solid and compelling sci-fi movie with a ridiculous talent that can only come from filmmakers like Joon-Ho.
