This is a comedic disaster movie that's highly gripping with its end-of-the-world suspense and powerful performances, delivering maximum entertainment. The film captures the absurdity of human nature as the root of catastrophe, which is both ridiculous and painfully real. However, the pacing is slow, demanding viewers' patience.

I felt deeply disappointed by this film and especially regretful for Leonardo DiCaprio's outstanding performance. The movie squanders an incredible cast and a storyline that's relevant to the real-world. The script is too unpolished, with characters reduced to mere caricatures and the portrayal of serious societal issues handled only at a surface level.

The amazing cast in unexpected characters really complete the crazy humor, even though the story is too real to laugh sometimes.

I LOVE this Movie, It’s So Smart, Bravo!

Noisy but filming a good story, the movie tells the irony of a literary film in a commercial film, in my opinion, this is rare. The popcorn-style satirical comedy makes people understand that at least a powerful country or nation dares to introspect and laugh at itself.

On the fence

A huge shot of reality and not what I was expecting, so despite the amazing performances, I'm still not sure I 100% stand behind it, but definitely an experience. Just not sure I wanted to have after this particular year.

Huge surprise!

Huge surprise for me, not a sci-fi fan at all, was expecting precisely that, and got not exactly the opposite, but a great mix of I don't even know what kind of goodness. Amazing cast, easy to watch, hilarious, and something I had no idea I needed to watch at this point in reality.

Pretentious much?

I honestly expected more out of this movie while at the same time I thought they tried to do/say way too much, pack too much in. 10/10 incredible cast, but for the writers/director, honestly, next time maybe get on a soapbox?

Must watch now

Impeccable cast, incredible comedy, super interesting tone, super smart and layered commentary; I couldn't help but love this one. It's so unpretentiously awesome, and it hits every bullseye it shoots for. Just awesome, look up (from your device, to your TV) and watch it.

Great movie, I don't care what the critics say

Everyone says it's not a great movie and let me just tell you I'm ready to fight them all! I thought it was amazing, and don't even get me started about the cast, Leo and Jen go perfect together.

Look the hell up!

Incredible, amazing surprise for me. Found myself liking this more and more as it went on and I never saw that coming: it's an incredible movie, super smartly written, and you need to watch it. It's like a cool version of the news. And more, and better, plus impeccably acted. Really, really awesome, plus hilarious to add.

Introspective and hilarious

This film is a reflection of modern day society that is so realistic it scares me. Might be the human being is the architect of his own suicide? We will soon find out.
