The threat of an earthquake, Volcano, Asteroid impact or solar flare disrupting life as we know it is far higher than “climate change” in all of its forms.

The original concept, I’m sure, was to have this movie be an allegory for people not waking up to doing something about “climate change”, but a “tunguska event” could kill millions people if it happened anywhere on the east coast of the US and we should spend more money mitigating that than we do on fighting “Climate change”.

The ‘existential threat of our time’ is Democrats. In the 1970’s it was a new ice age, then acid rain, ozone hole, global warming and now climate change. Not to mention the ‘population bomb’ that proceeded all that. This is about power by the left over the rest of us. Never forget that!

Do you think the actors et al involved in making of this film also believed it was a comedy, or as “serious art” with an important message?

If the latter, they won’t be amused that the great unwashed see their production as a comedy. What happens after that to the unwashed could be of a concern.

She called the now-jailed sex offender Harvey Weinstein “a god.”

So?

The Bible calls Baal a god; too.

A terrific movie!!! I say this because the left destroys their own arguments and beliefs in a film that I am pretty sure was meant as a reinforcement to them. I am sure it was meant as slam on Trump and his followers, but it really was the opposite.

In real life the “don’t look up” crowd are those who pimp Covid fear as a means of control.

One clue that perhaps the writer may have(I say may) meant his as a co- equal slam was when the creepy tech billionaire sniffs a woman’s hair.

is this KAT remade, or a replacement?

Talk about only reading the headline. The first line says on Netflix.

“Meryl Streep played a blond president who was clueless and cackled when she laughed...just like Kamela Harris.”

Multiple reviews likened Streep’s presidential character as a female Trump.

Watched it, it was funny in parts, not funny in parts. In some ways it’s not satire as I feel satire should be over the top of reality, but in many ways this film is just a reflection of what goes on in the world today and what might happen if an asteroid we’re going to hit the earth. In the film, The tug of war between social media and reality (all people had to do was to look up to see the danger approaching), is so very real today that is was sad in a way, and not really funny. The special effects were nice for the most part (probably done by Chinese effects artists), I’m going to give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Out of 5

There’s another one on Netflix - Death to 2021. Shows what an alternative universe the left exists in. They are desperate to blame their failures on Trump.

“In that the movie is about information flow, the Right knows who controls it.”

And the Right generally knows Who controls ... well ... everything. God’s Kingdom on Earth would be a factor to consider.
