A satire that missed his target
I really wanted to like this movie, because I adore THE BIG SHORT by Adam MacKay, and I enjoyed VICE a lot too. The cast is impressive and most of them are doing a great job.
The problem is elsewhere, in the mix of genres that is not successful. The comedy parts are hilarious. The scientific parts are interesting. The political satire is well done. Besides all the efforts made, it's not working. That is just too much.
The underlying message is not that subtle (we are all going to die if we do nothing). And I think most of the people who will see the film already share many views with these writers. I just don't think the message will get through with all the rest of the humanity who really don't give a s... about the future of this planet, because they're just too busy and scared to even think about it.
