Mickey 17 movie review : Bong Joon Ho's Bold SciFi vision

Mickey 17 (2025) – Movie Description
Directed by Academy Award-winner Bong Joon Ho Mickey 17 is a genre-blending sci-fi black comedy that delves into themes of identity, labor, and survival. Based on Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7, the film stars Robert Pattinson in dual roles as Mickey Barnes, an "Expendable"—a disposable employee on a mission to colonize the icy planet Niflheim. Each time Mickey dies, a new clone is regenerated with his memories intact, leading to existential dilemmas and unexpected consequences.

The narrative intertwines satirical elements with poignant commentary on capitalism, environmentalism, and human resilience. The ensemble cast includes Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.
Premiering at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, Mickey 17 has been praised for its inventive storytelling, visual effects, and Pattinson's compelling performance. The film offers a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's future, questioning the cost of progress and the essence of self.
