"Mickey 17" explores themes often touched on in Bong Joon-ho films, but it doesn't do as well with the messaging as his previous efforts.
The review of "Mickey 17," directed by Bong Joon-ho and starring Robert Pattinson, discusses the film's attempt at space satire but criticizes it for playing it too safe. The movie, based on Edward Ashton's novel "Mickey7," follows the story of Mickey, an "expendable" worker on a space colonization mission, who can be cloned upon death. Despite the intriguing premise and Pattinson's committed performance, the film is described as lacking the sharp edge and subversive qualities typically associated with Bong's work. The review points out that while the film has moments of humor and visual flair, it ultimately feels restrained, with a narrative that doesn't fully explore the potential for satire or delve deeply into its themes of identity and corporate exploitation. The adaptation is seen as a missed opportunity to push boundaries, instead opting for a more conventional, less daring approach.
