Movie Review: ‘Mickey 17’

‘Mickey 17’ receives 6.5 out of 10 stars.

Opening in theaters on March 7th, ‘Mickey 17’ is Korean director Bong Joon Ho’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning 2019 movie ‘Parasite.’

Yet if you were to pick a film that feels more in the mode of his latest effort, ‘Mickey 17’ is more along the lines of his dystopian pic ‘Snowpiercer,’ given its futuristic setting and examination of imbalances in society between the haves and have-nots.

Does ‘Mickey 17’ replicate the success of the director’s previous movies?

When you have the reputation of a Bong Joon Ho, the pressure is naturally on to follow what has come before. The Korean filmmaker certainly has his obsessions, and here he’s expressing them once again through science fiction satire.

If you were to compare this to anything outside of his canon, it would probably be the work of Terry Gilliam, who himself played well in the arena of satire blended with dystopia. Yet given the Oscar-winning status of ‘Parasite,’ this feels like a more minor effort from the director.

Script and Direction

(L to r) Director Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson on the set of ‘Mickey 17,’ a Warner Bros. Pictures release. Photo Credit: Jonathan Olley.

Bong here is adapting the 2022 novel ‘Mickey7’ by Edward Ashton, taking the basic concept of an “expendable” worker aboard a spaceship (and later on the icy colony world of Niflheim) who has essentially signed up for lethal duties and to be printed out each time as a copy of himself.

Complications arise when Mickey –– the 17th “copy” as per the title of the movie –– survives his latest, seemingly fatal mission and returns to his colony ship, only to discover that the 18th copy has already been printed and the current version isn’t exactly thrilled to be sharing resources or the affections of the woman Mickey has come to love, Naomi Ackie’s Nasha Barridge.

This is Bong in full quirk mode, much as he was in ‘Snowpiercer,’ looking to blend comedy with social issues and poking fun at the corrupt excesses of those in charge (in this case, Mark Ruffalo’s Kenneth Marshall, a failed politician-turned-spiritual leader and businessman who is sponsoring the mission and bears distinct tonal resemblance to a certain current occupant of high political office.

The issue with ‘Mickey 17’ is that it’s often tonally confused, trying to blend its message with the wacky weirdness surrounding its title character’s existence. It doesn’t always gel that naturally, and Bong as both writer and director could have benefitted from tighter editing, the movie sometimes drifting off on tangents that add little to either the humor or the points that he’s trying to make.

Stylistically, it’s certainly committed to an offbeat blend of corporate soullessness and the organic side of the planet where the colonists end up. And the movie also lets montage do a lot of heavy lifting here, filling in a lot of information in a short time.

Cast and Performances

The movie’s focus is, of course, on the various Mickeys, all played by Robert Pattinson (albeit mostly as the 17th and 18th incarnations). Despite being genetic copies, each Mickey is subtly different –– the 18th, for example, is pushier than the 17th.

In general, though, Pattinson gives them all an appealing sad-sack quality in a mostly vanity-fee performance that is always watchable. The actor has been doing compelling work for years, signing up to collaborate with interesting filmmakers and Bong is no exception.

Still, there are times when Mickey as a character comes across as more a collection of ticks than he does a man –– though that’s more down to the script than Pattinson’s acting.

Mark Ruffalo is clearly having fun playing Kenneth Marshall, the preening, dumb leader of the colony ship whose only thought is how he’ll look good to those around him. It’s a fine, funny performance, though poor Toni Collette is left with much less to do as his wife, Ylfa –– aside from a couple of standout moments, she feels largely wasted.

Much more impactful is Naomi Ackie, no stranger to space-borne genre work after ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker‘. She takes full advantage of playing security agent Nasha, who is a badass with a soft side that finds romance with Mickey. She gets plenty to do in the movie, and makes the most of it.

Around the central characters are a fun bunch of supporting types, including Steven Yeun as Mickey’s sleazy childhood friend Timo, who is only too quick to let him down. Credit also to the likes of Patsy Ferran as friendly scientist Dorothy and Tim Key, who has a small but memorable role as a Marshall obsessive who ends up dressed as a pigeon to support one of his odd pronouncements.

Final Thoughts

This won’t make the top three of Bong’s best movies, but it certainly still has its charms. Sci-fi satire is a tough genre to pull off, and here he delivers something that, if it sometimes feels like a poorer copy of this other work, is worth seeing.

What’s the plot of ‘Mickey 17’?

Adapted from Edward Ashton’s novel ‘Mickey7’, the new movie stars Robert Pattinson as an “expendable” –– a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact.

With one regeneration, though, things go very wrong…

- Warner Bros. showed off its upcoming slate at CinemaCon Tuesday.
- Movies such as ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ were promoted.
- Talent including George Miller and Todd Phillips took to the stage to show off footage.
Warner Bros. was the first of the major studios to make a big presentation to theater owners at CinemaCon, so naturally it had to kick off by celebrating the box office success enjoyed by ‘Dune: Part Two’, ‘Wonka’, ‘Godzilla x Kong’ and, oh yes… a little movie called ‘Barbie’.

And it was also about looking forward to this year’s offerings, with the executive team dressing in Beetlejuice costumes. Got to love a slightly awkward business type outside of their comfort zone.

Of note in the opening montage? Footage from Bong Joon Ho’s sci-fi thriller ‘Mickey 17’, which stars Robert Pattinson and is scheduled for January next year. Its presence hints at more today…

‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’

(L to R) Director George Miller, Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth for ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ at CinemaCon 2024. Photo: Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. was always going to launch with one of its bigger guns, and there are few bigger than this prequel to ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’.

Director George Miller took the stage alongside his stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth. Miller admitted that the movie had only just been finished the week before the presentation –– just in time for its launch at the Cannes Film Festival next month.

Miller explained why ‘Furiosa’ came about: “To tell the story of Mad Max, we had to know where every vehicle, every character, every prop, every gesture came from. We wrote backstories of Furiosa overall these years and Mad Max the year before. When ‘Fury Road’ had enough traction we figured we had to do ‘Furiosa.’”

(L to R) Anya Taylor-Joy director George Miller and Chris Hemsworth for ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ at CinemaCon 2024. Photo: Warner Bros.

Taylor-Joy admitted that as a ‘Mad Max’ mega-fan, she was pinching herself every day on set, hardly able to believe she was on set. She called the movie “the story of one woman’s commitment to unrelenting hope,” and we can all use some of that.

Miller, for his part, explained that he cast Taylor-Joy because she’s the type of person he would want to hang out with during the apocalypse. Oh, and that the movie spans roughly 16-18 years of the narrative.

Hemsworth, meanwhile, described his character –– Dr. Dementus –– as “twisted” and “cruel”, but ultimately charming, since he has a following. And let’s be honest: even with a big fake nose, he still mostly looks like Chris Hemsworth!

And this being CinemaCon, there was an extended look at the film, which is suitably dystopian and crazed in the best Miller style.

‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ will be in theaters on May 24th.

‘Horizon: An American Saga’

Kevin Costner took the stage to talk up his ambitious new Western epic ‘Horizon: An American Saga.’

Costner explains that he prefers “Journey Movies” over “Plot Movies,” preferring audiences take a ride with the characters. The first two chapters of ‘Horizon’ covers 12 years of time, starting before the Civil War and through it.

And because two chapters surely isn’t enough, he intends to make two more. He’s hoping audiences will binge the movies in theaters.

Warner Bros. will be releasing the first two chapters of the film series this year. ‘Chapter 1’ moseys in on June 28th, with ‘Chapter 2’ following on August 16th.

Bong explained the movie’s title shift (the source novel is called ‘Mickey 7) –– he’s killed the character an addition 10 times (no word on whether we’ll see them all). And Pattinson plays two versions at once –– including Mickey 18, who decides he should kill his fellow clone.

And the tone of the movie certainly looks to learn towards the dark comedy vibes of ‘Snowpiercer’.

Why did Bong cast Pattinson? “He has a crazy thing in his eyes.”

‘Mickey 17’ appears to be worth waiting for… and we will have to wait until January 31 next year.

‘Trap’

While his daughter’s film (‘The Watchers’) had just a trailer, M. Night Shyamalan himself was on stage to preview his next movie, ‘Trap’, his first with Warners.

Using the words “provocative” and “unusual” to describe his latest, Shyamalan explained that cinemagoers will feel like part of the audience attending a concert to see a performance by a singer called Lady Raven. Things take… a dark turn. Twist!

The story involves a father and a daughter attending the concert, only to learn that it’s all been organized as a trap for a local serial killer.

And in keeping with the performance feel, he had his daughter Saleka perform a song. 2024 is a family affair for the director.

The trailer played, but that one is best left to see for yourself.

‘Trap’ will be sprung in theaters on August 9th.

And, of course, attention now turned to…

‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’

The long-awaited sequel has finally come to life (or is it afterlife?) with Tim Burton back directing and Michael Keaton as the ghost with the most. Jenna Ortega stars alongside Keaton’s fellow veterans including Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara.

Of course, the angle here is heavily on the legacy of Tim Burton, and his commitment to making the new movie as practically as possible.

To big that up, a behind-the-scenes video was shown of filming on both the original and the sequel.

Burton took the stage with some of his cast, including Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe, and, of course, Michael Keaton. The director admitted that his original focus was on Lydia Deetz (Ryder), but shifted to the family as a whole, and the different generation of Deetz women. He says the movie feels like a big family reunion.

Keaton kept things low key with his praise for the movie: “It’s really f*****g good. It’s really, really good. Actually, it’s great.”

Justin Theroux, meanwhile, shared that he found the experience “fun” (everyone crossed that out on their bingo card). There was praise for Ortega, who is apparently a natural fit for the story.

And they couldn’t stay too long, as Burton said he’s expected back in London to continue editing the movie itself.

So to the big finish…

‘Joker: Folie À Deux’

Co-writer/director Todd Phillips was on stage, thanking cinema chains for supporting the first ‘Joker’ and mentioning “bizarre rumors” about it leading to violence that swirled ahead of its release.

He went on to add that while he called ‘Joker’ a one-off while promoting it, he and Joaquin Phoenix had talked about sequel ideas on set.

As for Lady Gaga, he described her as “magic” and knew from producing ‘A Star is Born’ that she was the right person to star alongside Phoenix.

And though he stopped short of describing the movie as a musical, he did say that it plays an important part. “Arthur has music to him. He has a dance to him.”

The first teaser trailer was shown, and you can find it below:
