Mikey 17
Just stopped watching "Mickey 17" released by Warner Brothers.
It's very rare that I will stop watching a movie just about 30 minutes into it's two-hour plus run-time, but there was nothing great about this movie, unless you count some of the special effects in the first half hour of the movie I actually watched.
"Mickey 17" is based on the novel "Mickey7" by Edward Ashton and is a great example of how Hollywood mucks up the adaption of a popular novel.
Mikey is an “Expendable” on a faraway icy Earth-like planet. The hapless Mickey has signed up (without actually reading the fine print) to die repeatedly, only to be reprinted in his own body with his own memories. His job is to run interference for the colonizers of this brave new world, whether it’s breathing potentially toxic air or testing experimental vaccines. Whatever violent end he meets, he figures it’s better than the threats that were in store for him from gangsters back on Earth.
At least the movie kept some of the basic principals explored in the source novel. Pity director Bong Joon Ho decided not to be faithful to the book.
Not Recommended.
One Star.
