Don’t Look Up

Don’t Look Up (2021) is a sharp satirical comedy directed by Adam McKay that blends science fiction and dark humor to deliver a scathing critique of modern society. The story follows two astronomers, Dr. Randall Mindy and Ph.D. candidate Kate Dibiasky, who discover a massive comet hurtling directly toward Earth. What should trigger a global emergency instead meets a wall of media indifference, political manipulation, and social distraction.

As the countdown to impact accelerates, the scientists embark on a chaotic media tour to warn humanity. But in a world driven by celebrity culture, misinformation, and partisan agendas, their message is reduced to a punchline. Featuring an all-star cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, and Jonah Hill, Don’t Look Up (2021) delivers biting humor while addressing urgent real-world issues like climate change, scientific denial, and our obsession with entertainment over truth.
