![]() In response, Orlean launches her own “Don’t Look Up” campaign, essentially telling Americans (and others) to pretend that the comet doesn’t exist (here’s looking at you, climate change deniers and anti-vaxxers). When the comet finally becomes visible in the sky, he and Dibiasky reteam to begin a grassroots “Just Look Up” movement to convince the public of the danger and encourage other countries to launch their own missions to intercept it. ![]() Although the original mission had a decent chance of destroying or at least deflecting the comet, it is now up to Peter Isherwell ( Mark Rylance) and his BASH team, whose plan has not been reviewed by scientists at all.Īlthough Mindy has initially been co-opted by the Orlean administration and made its National Science Advisor–part of the effort is to persuade the public that the BASH plan to mine the comet will create untold riches and countless jobs–he eventually turns on them and abandons the administration. But even that is short-lived as she aborts a mission to destroy it in space when the eccentric head of an Apple-like company called BASH (and a top donor to Orlean) discovers that the comet may contain trillions of dollars’ worth of minerals and rare elements. It’s only when a sex scandal threatens the President’s hold on office does she turn the nation’s attention to the comet. They next take their discovery to the media where it is treated frivolously by morning talk show hosts Brie Evantee (Cate Blanchett) and Jack Bremmer (Tyler Perry), although the former starts an affair with Mindy. Mindy (DiCaprio) and PhD candidate Dibiasky (Lawrence), bring their findings to the White House where they are met with indifference from the narcissistic, idiotic President Janie Orlean ( Meryl Streep) and her possibly even dumber bro-dude son/chief of staff (Jonah Hill). When it does, it will completely obliterate all life. ![]() In the new Netflix hit movie, Don’t Look Up, written and directed by satirical filmmaker Adam McKay ( The Big Short, Anchorman), two rather low-level astronomers ( Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) discover a comet is headed directly toward Earth, with the object set to smash into our little planet in six months. Cult figure Mary Woronov also appears in a supporting role as a scientist.Th is article contains spoilers for DON’T LOOK UP. Meanwhile, a cadre of soldiers from a special military experiment have come out of hiding, but it seems that they need fresh blood to survive, and Samantha and Regina look like just the refreshment they need. However, the mall holds an unpleasant surprise - a small army of zombified stockboys who the gals must battle using an arsenal they shoplifted along the way (while lamenting that "Daddy would have gotten us Uzis!" after a MAC-10 fails to fire). En route to the mall, they discover Hector ( Robert Beltran), the only survivor they've found so far, and they argue over who gets the last boyfriend on Earth. When Samantha and Regina emerge, they discover that they have the city to themselves, and they begin the shopping spree to end all shopping sprees. They end up spending the night in a steel-lined room just as a comet passes close to the earth, vaporizing the people in its wake. In this satirical sci-fi comedy, Samantha ( Kelli Maroney) and Regina ( Catherine Mary Stewart) are two sisters whose father was a hard-bitten Green Beret, but who've grown into typical Valley Girls.
