When the cow-like astronomy professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) Enternals and punk doctoral student Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) discover a blurred bright spot in the starry sky, they first become overjoyed. The intoxication of joy quickly turns into full-scale anguish of death when it turns out that the comet in question will extinguish all life on earth Encanto in six months.

Generous with time for humanity to be collectively reconciled with their destiny, or alternatively tear each other to pieces in a massive madness crescendo, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME  it may seem. But the two bound academics have not counted on the global media logic driven by sensationalism and superficial gossip.

At first, they do not reach through the noise.

The TV sofas focus on the messengers' possible sex appeal rather than on the doomsday message. For the apocalypse warning to land properly with the public, it is not enough that the increasingly frustrated researchers are reborn as memes. They must become full-scale celebrities who can compete with the latest breakup between the world's hottest pop stars.

Director Adam McKay ("Anchorman", "The Big Short") holds a well-calibrated index finger in the wind and has a flawless sense of reasonably absurd dialogue. Most impressive is that he is able to turn the two main characters into real people among all the stencils and twisted characters. It is an sometimes insanely entertaining laughter mirror that is held up in front of our approach to the climate crisis.

That laugh is of course meant to get stuck in the throat given the seriousness of the moment, but "Don't Look Up" does not seem to be splendid and preachy. It honors the film, and is not needed by the way - the reality is similar enough to the poem anyway.
