Bong Joon-ho's 'Mickey 17,' adapted from Edward Ashton's novel 'Mickey7,' is a sci-fi satire set in a future where Earth is becoming uninhabitable. The film introduces 'Expendables,' individuals whose consciousness can be transferred to cloned bodies, allowing them to undertake dangerous missions with the assurance of reincarnation. The story follows Mickey Barnes, played by Robert Pattinson, who joins a perilous journey to a frozen wasteland. Despite initial skepticism regarding Bong's transition to Hollywood after 'Parasite,' the film emerges as a witty exploration of fate and self-worth, bolstered by strong performances and comedic elements.
As a future Earth becomes less inhabitable, cloning technology allows minds to be downloaded into replicated bodies, creating 'Expendables' for hazardous tasks.
The film is a slyly entertaining piece of pop propaganda, driven by Robert Pattinson’s masterful double performance, bringing humor to its darker themes.
