Mickey 17 Review

Mickey 17 is about Mickey Barnes who signs up to be an expendable on a new planet. The movie stars Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Anamaria Vartolomei, Daaniel Henshall, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.

I thought Mickey 17 was an interesting movie. It’s a sci-fi movie and a comedy. It is a major studio but it has Indie vibes. It is more intimate, and it played on IMAX. I saw the film on IMAX. I will say the IMAX showing did not really enhance the experience the way it does for other films. That is neither here nor there. That did not affect my opinion of the movie.

The cast does a really good job. Robert Pattinson stands out as both characters. I think the movie really showcased Robert Pattinson’s ability as an actor. He is a lot more than his most iconic role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise. Most of his work that showcases his abilities are usually from indie movies. In more recent years Robert Pattinson has been in more mainstream projects as well with roles in Tenet and The Batman. Naomie Ackie also stands out. She did a great job.

The movie has an interesting plot and concept. Everything really fits well in the film tonally. The characters stood out and that helped elevate the movie.

Mickey 17 is an interesting movie with a great cast. It blends sci-fi, comedy, and indie vibes well. It also has a nice balance of social and political commentary without being too in your face about it.
