Bong Joon Ho trying to force Mickey 17 into a limp Trump allegory instead of embracing the bizarre existential horror of the book? Tragic. The beauty of Snowpiercer and The Host was their commitment to over-the-top absurdity wrapped in engaging genre storytelling. But Mickey 17 sounds like a disjointed, humorless lecture that forgot to entertain. When a movie about immortal space-clone laborers feels boring, something has gone horribly wrong. Bong traded sharp satire for lazy symbolism, and it sounds like the audience is left paying the price in sheer disappointment.
