If I have to describe this movie in one word : beautiful.
so the story is about this girl Kate who's currently observing stars movement for her Phd degree, then she just accidentally found a new comet that's visible on the telescope. which is of course excite her since she's the first person who found the comet and it's going to be named after her.
she call all her astronomy colleague and professor to throw a party about this comet discovery, until someone ask the professor on how to read the comet trajectory and predicting it's path. and yes kids. I'm not even joking that this is how we nerds having fun at party, Math!
well, the calculation process are all fun and dandy until the results shows that the comet she just found will actually hit the planet earth in approximately 6 and half month, the professor trembling in trepidation upon realizing this. telling all of his students except Kate to just wrap it up and call it a night to not causing unnecessary panics.
so the next day, they immediately calls the press media which directly forwarded them to NASA so they could explain to them directly what they found.
and this is where things are actually start getting better;
since this is a satire movie, we didn't get the usual disaster prevention movie gigs where all the people in power are understand what's the stake in the situation and then the UN works together to deflect the comet from it's orbit towards earth.
No, nobody in the white house take them seriously because they didn't as fluent as any famous streamer you watch on twitch.
and this is what the movie is about, the 2 hours 10 minutes duration (not including the credit roll) is about the depiction in how people would react at this internet era when someone said a meteor would hit the earth.
they just make them as a meme, harassing them online, and pointing them on the street and call them a weirdo to their face despite they actually have provide nothing but hard evidence.
and the whole movie are bringing the situation in a light and comical manners, which ironically makes the whole things to be felt even more relatable.
gosh, I really love all those joke in the movie, it's the perfect balance between darkly hilarious and outright depressing.
and yeah, this movie doesn't have that high of a rating despite what I said about it.
I mean, it's a satire movie. some people could misunderstood the whole thing, while some of them could braggartly saying they knew everything about this movie and none of the joke went over their head but still actually miss the whole point.
this movie is might be not for everyone, especially not for those who's looking for a movie with jam-packed action and cool protagonist.
but this movie is certainly for me.
