I suspect the Marmite nature of the film may be aligned with an individuals own beliefs and opinions. There is someone in this very thread, for example, who hated it who honestly and seemingly with a straight face believes the Conservative party is a far left wing political party. When your reality is that bent out of shape you can understand how this film might not appeal to all. To me it almost beggars belief how removed from reality some people are.
But while the subject of the film is of course about an asteroid the message it conveys applies to just about everything. Covid, climate change, for us Brits Brexit and so on. I guess many of us suffer from this collective apathy and blind faith that "those in power" are going to "do the right thing" and make sure we're not doomed to a fiery death. However I suspect many of us (me included) are just delusional. I've come to understand and realise a very many things over the past 2 years but the primary thing is the rich and the powerful do not care about me, or you, AT ALL. Not even for one second. We are just labour and their entire existence is dedicated to exploiting us (and the planet) to the absolute maximum they can to maximise their already huge slice of the pie. They do not care if we, or the planet, die doing it as long as they get richer.
I've never considered myself an anti-capitalist but the more I see and read the more rapidly I'm getting there.
A solid 7/10 for me
