Just when I was about to sit down and write about the unfortunate trip that I so voluntarily partake in today, the electricity went out. Now, writing in the darkness is a terrible idea but not doing anything else is just pure idiotic. So, what else can we do in the darkness and not die of boredom…. watch movies.
The first time I found the reference of it was in a discord server and judging by the trailer I did think it would be a hilarious experience, I would say the statement is half true.
Imagine electing a donkey in the most powerful social position, now imagine trying to make it understand the rules of gravitational power, the outcome will be you being frustrated, stressful, annoyed, on the verge of losing the sanity and the donkey giving a side eye and thinking what a lunatic. Well that’s pretty much the whole movie.
I would say, the synopsis of it is quite common. We’ve already have countless apocalyptic movies to throw us back at how the whole world got together and fight all obstacles to save humanity, although always at the very last moment. Live another day, see another life kinda shit, but here they took a new road, and that my friend is so fun and frustrating to watch.

It literally makes you feel the stress and helplessness of the two main scientists and question whether humans deserve to live or not. What horrifies me is the stubble realism it holds. Self-centered and business oriented people in power, social media and influencers addicted youth, everyone has countless things to say (most of the time that being useless), but no one gives a second and listens. One way or another, we are bound to be doomed.
"The truth is way more depressing. They are not even smart enough to be as evil as you're giving them credit for."
My favorite quote has to be this one as it's just too perfect.
One thing I found kinda funny and it’s the way the movie portrays America as the center of power, the final decision maker, the decider of human fates. Like what the heck man, what are the rest of us, bunch of monkeys??
Lastly, the movie was fun, comedic, predictable and frustrating. It shows a possible future that we might be heading towards and man if it does go there, I don’t wanna be any part of it.. Nope.
