The Mickey 17 reactions are out and this science fiction black comedy film directed by Bong Joon-ho, starring Robert Pattinson is already stealing hearts around the world. As the internet calls the director and the actor an artistic duo at work, a claim that surely cannot be denied by moviegoers, we bring to you the reactions of viewers so that you can get a little sneak peek at the film.
Based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, Bong Joon-ho took part in writing, directing and producing Mickey 17 while Charles Yu wrote the additional literary material for the film. He was inspired by the book and made his own changes when preparing for the film. Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson was confirmed to star in the film in 2022 with Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo joining the cast.
The plot of the film follows the financially destitute Mickey Barnes who signs up to be a clone worker for a human colony Nilfheim when wanting to get off Earth. He then undertakes many dangerous missions and each time he dies, a clone is made to replace him. However things get messy when clone 17 is mistaken to be dead and clone 18 is made; when clone 17 returns to Nelfheim, they need to do something before they are caught and both destroyed. The plot then takes on a twist as changes as the two join hands to fight back against the oppressive leaders governing the colony.
The film brings an impressive look to viewers who are made to think about the various themes that play around in the film. And adding to this is the wonderful performance put together by the cast that has become the talk around X (formerly known as Twitter) where everyone is applauding them all. With Robert Pattinson taking up most of the spotlight after his mindblowing performance in the film he has once again proved his talent to the world.
With one X user writing, “#Mickey17 is another reminder that Robert Pattinson is among the most fascinating actors we have. He is fully committed & shoots for the stars while also keeping a level of nuance to keep the character grounded. We’re lucky to have him.”
Moviegoers are also praising the other cast members for the wonderful performance they have put together with Robert Pattinson, as one states, “MICKEY 17 is a true feat of creative vision & unapologetically political storytelling. Critically unafraid while also having fun with the absurd, Bong Joon-ho continues to create a filmmaking signature. Robert Pattinson is great. Naomi Ackie stole it for me. Mickey17”
The audience has already got their favourites and we cannot compare them because everyone has amazed the audience with their performances.
Meanwhile, director Bong Joon-ho is once in the spotlight as he beautifully brings together the various elements shown in the film together. He not only brings a new look to Mickey’s character but has also chosen the perfect actor for the role. As one X user very neatly puts it up, “#Mickey17 is mind-bendingly brilliant. Bong Joon Ho delivers an audaciously ambitious sci-fi spectacular for filmgoers, filled with emotionally shocking character development, bold visuals. Pattinson is electric, ensemble is so much fun. A mastery of storytelling and commentary.”
With everything going around about the film, there is no doubt that this film is set to gather a larger audience as the days go by. As Mickey 17 already opens up with an impressive weekend in South Korea, we can say that the magic of this film has only just begun. If you still aren’t convinced to check out this film, here are some reactions from X that will surely get you ready for the film!
