    I remember it, and I’m a sucker for any SciFi with new ideas, but the delivery on this one had the subtlety of a brick. The idea of the plot is the punchline and that’s it, no other social commentary. Justin Timberlake was mediocre at best and to me so obnoxious that it was very hard to identify with him as a justice warrior. 5/10.

    Don’t Look Up” was not subtle at all, but it had the kind of in-your-face so well done, that proofed exactly that the target audience it was mocking will not understand the direct slap they were getting.

    The Menu”, or “Parasite”, or “The Platform”, or “The Hunger Games” are also orders of magnitude better if you want to watch a “eat-the-rich” kind of movie.

    I’m bad with words and not a movie critic, but hope you get the point.
