I saw this movie yesterday with a couple of friends and it was a great watch!
One of my friends is a violin player and the other a bassoon player-- we were all in agreement that the music was absolutely delightful.
I am a big fan of "Moon" by Sam Rockwell and I was really excited to see more exploration into the theme of cloning as a gateway to human labor exploitation in space.
Mickey-17 had many elements that reminded me of Snowpiercer, so it was more playful and campy whereas Moon was a lot more melancholic and just sad. I really enjoyed Snowpiercer, so I didn't have a problem with that.
My friends are younger than me, so I was very happy that they were picking up on the movie's themes in a way that was entertaining and relatable to them. They definitely made comments about recognizing Elon Musk with his whole deal about sending people to Mars and how problematic it would be to enforce labor rights far away from Earth.
That in itself is why Mickey-17 has my gratitude, as it is hard enough to explain to them why they have to set strong boundaries at work and protect their own health.
I'm glad you and your friends enjoyed it!
