It could be applied to the pandemic, climate crisis, a world ending meteor headed towards Earth. Human stupidity + never ending pursuit of profit = disaster. An apt depiction of our times and state of mind. |
Quite. No consistent visual style, though. I think the satire could have been played more broadly - maybe with a crack team of actors, not just stars thrown together. It's missing a real dynamism. My two cents.
