2025 Review for Mickey 17: A movie that was weird, it was wacky, and It was right up my alley!
Where to start with this film, well one of them would be it topped the scales, of brilliance and bonded every element strategically well, to form a superb spectacle on great proportions. What I mean by bonded and strategically put, is the fact the movie blends in the "Expandable" and the villainous arc, which both characters were set-up exceedingly well.
One of the career best performances by Robert Pattinson, who blends the weird tones, the cheerful tone, and the darker tones with his effortlessly great voice-overs and he dominates every scene he's in, his movement his body language and his voice, he takes every scene he's in and dominates it, like wow. And the layers of character-growth spials from great to epic. His anger is also portrayed brilliantly, with a lighter and more subtle tone that would progress more into the latter stages of the film. Although, I'd of liked to of seen more of what he was running away from, as that was the main set-up. And I think it would of improved his arc, but saying that It was a Perfect jumping on point. And the Doppelganger stuff is fun.
The Icelandic planet is great, the aliens are cool and do pose a threat, I'd of liked to of seen more action though, as he does die too easily at times, and it was quite abit. However apart from that the designs are brilliant, I like the dark and grittier one that has sharp teeth, it does have that threat and the real danger posed, and everything played out well.
Villains main threat is taking people hostage, by completing his work he becomes a leader of the country, and that's what I meant when both arcs were crafted, or in my own terms strategically placed to feel the misery, the desire and the Power to tack control. Whilst nothing was extended, the final act showed his strength and brutality when he comes face to face with one of the specimens, creatures.
It's a fun space adventure, that has great acting and voice work in the lens of Pattinson, which I really enjoyed hearing, as I said he was fantastic. And the performances were mostly solid and fluid throughout.
I'd rate this film an 8 Because it blends sci-fi, action and drama into the role really well.
"Mickey 17" Movie Review: A Promising Idea That Loses Its Way
Mickey 17 had the potential to be an innovative sci-fi/comedy film, and it starts off in an engaging and original way. However, as the story progresses, it loses focus and ultimately turns into something generic, with an uninspired and rushed conclusion.
Robert Pattinson delivers a solid and well-rounded performance, proving his versatility even in a film that leans more towards comedy - something outside his usual genre. Despite the lighter tone, Pattinson brings depth to his character, making the story feel more grounded and adding an emotional layer to the film that otherwise would feel empty.
Cloning is a fascinating subject for a sci-fi movie because of all the moral and practical dilemmas it presents. Mickey 17 introduces these ideas but doesn't fully engage in them, shifting focus to a less compelling storyline midway through - the Creepers.
It feels out of the place compared to the film's promising start and even the trailers- The initial mix of humor and originality is lost, and by the end, the movie feels like it was hurriedly wrapped up just to deliver something, lacking any real creativity or impact.
That said, the film excels in its production design. The setting and character outfits are well-crafter, adding to the immersive sci-fi atmosphere. Additionally, the visual effects are compelling, bringing the futuristic world to life in a convincing and visually stunning way, which helps maintain engagement even when the story fails to do so.
