Director Bong Joon Ho returns to the sci-fi genre with 'Mickey 17', an adaptation of Edward Ashton's novel. The film, set in 2054, follows Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson), who becomes an 'expendable' on an interplanetary mission. After multiple deaths and clones, Mickey faces challenges from his own duplicates and alien threats. While the film touches on serious themes, it leans towards humor and satire, showcasing a critique of capitalism and authoritarianism. Pattinson delivers a standout performance, and the film is described as a broad futurist satire.
