“Mickey 17″ Plot: Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson), known as an “expendable,” goes on a dangerous journey to colonize an ice planet.
Mickey 17 Dead Forever
I’m struggling to grasp the overall concept of this movie, which I can only describe as a train wreck. Beyond its interesting visual style, the film’s development and Robert Pattinson’s performances leave me confused. It’s astonishing to think that this movie attracted millions of viewers in America and managed to debut at the top of the Box Office during its opening weekend. With a hefty production budget of $118 million, it hasn’t even generated half of that revenue, raising questions about its appeal and execution.
Mickey 17 vs. Mickey 18
The movie offers a powerful exploration of two distinct iterations of the character Mickey. The 17th version represents the original character, showcasing a naive and introspective side. This version reflects a sense of vulnerability and self-discovery, emphasizing his internal struggles and personal growth. In stark contrast, the 18th version presents a more commanding and aggressive portrayal, exuding confidence and dominance. This iteration enables Mickey to take control of his circumstances, showcasing an ambitious and assertive nature that contrasts sharply with the introspective qualities of the 17th version. Together, these two representations illustrate the complexities of Mickey’s character and the different paths his life could take.
It’s A Cold, Cruel, Freezing World Out There You Know!
A central theme of the storyline is the concept of doubles, highlighting the strict taboo against their coexistence. Throughout the film, both versions wrestle with their intense desire to survive and to carve out their own unique identities. However, as the narrative unfolds, they come to a harsh realization: their parallel lives cannot continue, and ultimately, one must face obliteration or seek termination to restore balance. The film artfully examines the struggle between self-preservation and the inevitable sacrifice that comes with existing in a world where only one version can prevail.
The Cold & Freezing Truth About Mickey
This film, Mickey 17 feels more like a project that wasn’t meant for theatrical release. Personally, it wasn’t on my list of movies to see. I ended up choosing to watch it simply because I was looking for something new and exciting, especially since there hadn’t been any noteworthy releases in theaters for several weeks. This makes me wonder why such a film received so much attention and how it resonated with audiences despite its apparent flaws.
