At first I didn't even know, remake exists until it came to Netflix few days ago. As I am a big fan of legendary Spencer Hill duo, I was utterly shocked, what they did out of legendary original from 1974. Movie wants to be tribute to original, instead it became embarasement. There are no funny actors in this new movie, nu actualy funny scenes and idea recreating original scenes with original look-a-like supporting actors resulted in big fail. Story is the same as original, but new movie does not forget to remember us that with quasi reaperance of Ben and Kid (Spencer and Hill) at the beginning, not just in comic intro, but in movie itself.

The only bright point of that monstrum is Christian de Seca, who is a way bigger actor than whole movie itself and here his presence although flawless can't save anything of this unfortunate movie. Some things are better to stay unique, for shure and don't need tribute remakes.

In world gone mad with everyone able to talk, preach and play smart noone listens anymore. We are became hostage of zombi armada on social networks, which in normal circumstances, as joke says, would be locked in cellar not to embarase family in front of neighbours and others. Today, those people have internet access.

WIth other words, Don't look up is a brilliant mirror of what's wrong with society and people leading it (politicians, media, rich people...). It makes you think and rethink your actions, not to share any news on socials, and try to proove one wrong as it is fruitless. They don't even deserve attention.

And what's most important of DLU - it's not important if it is virus, earthquake od virus - the point is clear. So clear that my 14 years old daughter watched movie was astonished how well is done and even understandable to her age. It is not catastrophy movie, those who rate it 6 and under would have probably expected Armagedon or something silly like that. No, DLU is exceptional movie of catastrophy called human society. Hats off to crew!

I was very happy watching reunion 30 years latter, because you could actualy see how actors grew up, mostly on personality level. Show was pristine, emotinal and most of all I am very happy that they included Janet Hubert, as all bad things parallel to that great show of 90s finaly disapeared...
