Don't Look Up

January 01, 1970

For the 1996 Japanese horror film, see Don't Look Up (1996 film).
Not to be confused with the song from the film, Just Look Up.

Don't Look Up is a 2021 American apocalyptic political satire black comedy film written, co-produced, and directed by Adam McKay from a story he co-wrote with David Sirota.[1] It stars an ensemble cast featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Rob Morgan, Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Tyler Perry, Timothée Chalamet, Ron Perlman, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Cate Blanchett, and Meryl Streep. The film tells the story of two astronomers attempting to warn humanity about an approaching comet that will destroy human civilization. The impact event is an allegory for climate change, and the film is a satire of government, political, celebrity, and media indifference to the climate crisis.[6][7]

Produced by McKay's Hyperobject Industries and Bluegrass Films, the film was announced in November 2019. Originally set for a theatrical release by Paramount Pictures, the distribution rights were acquired by Netflix several months later. Lawrence became the first member of the cast to join, with DiCaprio signing on after his discussions with McKay on adjustments to the script; the rest of the cast was added through 2020. Filming was initially set to begin in April 2020 in Massachusetts, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic; it eventually began in November 2020 and wrapped in February 2021.[8] [9]

Don't Look Up began a limited theatrical release on December 10, 2021, before streaming on Netflix on December 24. It was praised for the cast's performances and the musical score, but critics were divided on the merits of McKay's satire; some found it deft, while others criticized it as smug and heavy-handed. The film was received more positively by scientists. Don't Look Up was named one of the top ten films of 2021 by the National Board of Review and American Film Institute. It received four Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture), four Golden Globe Award nominations (including Best Picture – Musical or Comedy), six Critics' Choice Award nominations, (including Best Picture), and also won Best Original Screenplay at the 74th Writers Guild of America Awards. The film set a new record for the most viewing hours in a single week on Netflix, and went on to become the second-most-watched movie on Netflix within 28 days of release.

Plot edit

Kate Dibiasky, a doctoral candidate in astronomy at Michigan State University, discovers an unknown comet. Her professor, Doctor Randall Mindy, confirms that it will collide with Earth in approximately six months and is large enough to cause a global extinction event. NASA verifies the findings, and Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe, head of their Planetary Defense Coordination Office, accompanies Dibiasky and Mindy to present their findings to the White House. However, they are met with apathy from President Janie Orlean and her Chief of Staff Jason Orlean, who is also her son.

Oglethorpe encourages Dibiasky and Mindy to leak the news to the media, which they do so on The Daily Rip, a popular morning talk show. When hosts Jack Bremmer and Brie Evantee treat the topic lightly, Dibiasky loses her temper and angrily rants about the threat before she flees the scene. Mindy receives public approval for his looks, while Dibiasky becomes the subject of negative memes for her on-air behavior. Actual news about the comet's threat receives little public attention, and the danger is denied by Orlean's NASA Director Jocelyn Calder, a top donor to Orlean with no background in astronomy. When news of Orlean's sex scandal with her Supreme Court nominee Sheriff Conlon is exposed, she distracts from the bad publicity by finally confirming the threat and announcing a project to strike and divert the comet using nuclear weapons.

The mission successfully launches, but Orlean abruptly aborts it when Peter Isherwell, the billionaire CEO of BASH Cellular and another top donor, discovers that the comet contains trillions of dollars worth of rare-earth elements. The White House agrees to commercially exploit the comet by fragmenting and recovering it from the ocean, using technology proposed by BASH in a scheme that has not undergone peer review. Orlean sidelines Dibiasky and Oglethorpe while hiring Mindy as the National Science Advisor. Dibiasky attempts to mobilize public opposition to the scheme but gives up under threat from Orlean's administration. Mindy becomes a prominent voice advocating for the comet's commercial opportunities and begins an affair with Evantee.

World opinion is divided among people who believe the comet is a severe threat, those who decry alarmism and believe that mining a destroyed comet will create jobs, and those who deny that the comet even exists. When Dibiasky returns home to Illinois, her parents kick her out of the house and she begins a relationship with a young man named Yule, a shoplifter she meets at her retail job. After Mindy's wife confronts him about his infidelity, she returns to Michigan without him. Mindy questions whether Isherwell's technology will be able to break apart the comet, angering the billionaire. Becoming frustrated with the administration, Mindy finally breaks down and rants on national television, criticizing Orlean for downplaying the impending apocalypse and questioning humanity's indifference.

Cut off from the administration, Mindy reconciles with Dibiasky as the comet becomes visible from Earth. Mindy, Dibiasky, and Oglethorpe organize a protest campaign on social media, telling people to "Just Look Up" and call on other countries to conduct comet interception operations. Simultaneously, Orlean starts an anti-campaign telling people "Don't Look Up". Orlean and BASH cut Russia, India, and China out of the rights for the comet-mining deal, so they prepare their own joint deflection mission, only for their spacecraft to explode. As the comet becomes larger in the sky, Orlean's supporters start turning on her administration. BASH's attempt at breaking the comet apart goes awry and everyone realizes that humanity is doomed.

Isherwell, Orlean, and others in their elite circle board a sleeper spaceship designed to find an Earth-like planet, inadvertently leaving Jason behind. Orlean offers Mindy two places on the ship, but he declines, choosing to spend a final evening with his friends and family. As expected, the comet strikes off the coast of Chile, causing a worldwide disaster and triggering an extinction-level event.

In a mid-credits scene, the 2,000 people who left Earth before the comet's impact land on a lush alien planet 22,740 years later, ending their period of suspended animation. They exit their spacecraft naked and admire the habitable world. However, Orlean is suddenly killed by a bird-like predator, one of a pack that surrounds the planetary newcomers.

In a post-credits scene back on Earth, it is revealed that Jason managed to survive the impact. He records himself, declaring himself the "last man on Earth" and asking any viewers still alive to "like and subscribe".

Production edit

 
Writer, director, and producer Adam McKay

Produced by Hyperobject Industries and Bluegrass Films, the film was announced in November 2019 and sold by Paramount Pictures to Netflix several months later. Lawrence became the first member of the cast to join, with DiCaprio signing on after his discussions with McKay on adjustments to the script; the rest of the cast was added through 2020.

This movie came from my burgeoning terror about the climate crisis and the fact that we live in a society that tends to place it as the fourth or fifth news story, or in some cases even deny that it's happening, and how horrifying that is, but at the same time preposterously funny.[12]

— Adam McKay, writer, director, and producer of Don't Look Up

After Vice was released, David Sirota asked Adam McKay to use his "superpowers of humor and writing" to create a climate change movie that would be different from the Mad Max-type post-apocalyptic films that had previously been released.[13] In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, McKay described how he and Sirota came up with the premise of Don't Look Up while discussing the existential threat of climate change and their frustration over the lack of media coverage it was receiving:

I started talking to a lot of [climate] scientists. I kept looking for good news, and I never got it. Everything I was hearing was worse than what I was hearing on the mainstream media. So I was talking to [David Sirota], and we were both just like, "can you believe that this isn't being covered in the media? That it's being pushed to the end of the story? That there's no headlines?" And Sirota just offhandedly said, "it's like a comet is heading to Earth and it's going to destroy us all and no one cares." And I was like, "that's the idea!"[14]

McKay has described the film as a "blend of broad comedy" with elements of disaster films and horror films.[15]

Astronomer Amy Mainzer, principal investigator of NASA's NEOWISE mission that tracks near-Earth objects, served as an "astrotech adviser" for the film. She provided scientific advice and supported with writing scenes from an early stage of production.[16][17]

On November 8, 2019, it was announced that Paramount Pictures would distribute the film, with Adam McKay writing, directing, and producing under his Hyperobject Industries banner.[18] On February 19, 2020, Netflix acquired the film from Paramount and Jennifer Lawrence was cast in the film.[19] On May 12, 2020, it was announced that Cate Blanchett had joined the film.[20] In September 2020, Rob Morgan joined the cast.[21] In October 2020, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Himesh Patel, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi), and Tomer Sisley were added.[22][23] McKay wrote the part of Dibiasky specifically for Lawrence, and spent four to five months going over ideas with DiCaprio, tweaking the script before the actor ultimately signed on.[24] In November 2020, Tyler Perry, Melanie Lynskey, and Ron Perlman joined the cast.[25] Mark Rylance and Michael Chiklis were revealed as part of the cast in February 2021.[26] Paul Guilfoyle was announced in May.[27] Matthew Perry was also cast and had scenes filmed with Hill that were ultimately cut from the final film due to health issues.[28] Gina Gershon also filmed a scene with DiCaprio and Blanchett that was cut from the film.[29] Leonardo DiCaprio received top billing on the film's posters and the trailers while Jennifer Lawrence was accorded top billing at the beginning of the film itself. This was also the case with earlier productions The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) with James Stewart and John Wayne and All the President's Men (1976) with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman.

Principal photography was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[30] Filming commenced on November 18, 2020, at various locations in Boston, Massachusetts.[31] Part of the film takes place in New York City with Boston standing in as New York. Filming also took place in other Massachusetts cities including Brockton, Framingham, and Westborough.[a][32][33] On February 5, 2021, Jennifer Lawrence was mildly injured during filming when a controlled glass explosion went awry.[34] Filming wrapped on February 18, 2021.[35]

Lawsuit edit

On December 6, 2023, Adam McKay, along with Netflix, was sued for copyright infringement over Don't Look Up. William Collier, an author from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, claimed that he is the original writer of the story, set in Baton Rouge, called "Stanley's Comet", which he self-published in 2012. Collier's daughter worked for Jimmer Miller Entertainment, part of McKay's management team until 2015. Collier alleges that his daughter submitted the text to Mosaic Media Group and it was then received by McKay's manager. "Since Stanley’s Comet was received by McKay’s manager, custom and practice in the entertainment industry dictates that this constitutes receipt by McKay," writes Steven Lowe, a lawyer for Collier, in the suit. "Furthermore, upon information and belief, the Novel was transmitted via courier, email or hand-delivery (or via other means) to McKay himself."[36]

"The movie, like the novel, makes a strong political critique of the media, the government, and the cultural elite by showcasing their shallowness and reliance on popular opinion polls and social media algorithms," writes USC professor of comparative literature David Roman. "McKay’s film is also full of satire and humor and — like Stanley’s Comet — moves toward the absurd. In each case, the irony drives the humor and the social critique and does so in the same style and method."[36]

Music edit

Main article: Don't Look Up (soundtrack)

To promote the film, on December 3, 2021, Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi released the single "Just Look Up", which is also performed in the film.[37] The original score for the film is composed by Nicholas Britell, who previously scored McKay's The Big Short (2015), Vice (2018) and the HBO television series Succession (2019–2022); McKay served as an executive producer of the latter. He used a wide range of instrumentation that reflect varied music styles and genres.[38][39] He did this so as to give a remainder on the existential crisis on the planet following a catastrophic event as well as the absurdity of how people react to it.[40] Apart from "Just Look Up", the film also featured "Second Nature" by Bon Iver, which was released along with Britell's score album on December 10, by Republic Records.[41]

Reception edit

Box office and VoD edit

On February 19, 2020, it was announced that Netflix planned to release the film in 2020.[19] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, filming and release of the film were delayed.[42] The film premiered in New York City on December 5, 2021.[43] It received a limited theatrical release on December 10, and began streaming on Netflix on December 24.[44][45] The film made an estimated $260,000 from 500 theaters on its first day, and a total of $700,000 in its opening weekend.[46]

Don't Look Up was the most-streamed English-language film on Netflix during its first week of release with a viewership of 111.03 million hours,[47] the second highest viewership for a movie during its debut weekend on Netflix.[48] It was the second most-streamed-film of the week in the United States according to TV Time.[49] Per Nielsen, the film had a viewership of 1.6 billion minutes in the United States.[50] In the second week, it retained its first position with a viewership of 152.29 million hours,[51] which also set the record for highest weekly viewership for any film ever on Netflix.[52][53]

For its first 28 days, the film culminated a viewership of 359.8 million hours, making it the second most-watched film within 28 days of release on Netflix during this period of time.[54] By March 20, the film had been streamed in 10.3 million households in the United States according to Samba TV, including 641,000 since the Oscar nomination announcements on February 8.[55]

Critical response edit

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 55% of 305 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "Don't Look Up aims too high for its scattershot barbs to consistently land, but Adam McKay's star-studded satire hits its target of collective denial square on."[56] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 49 out of 100, based on 52 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[57]

The San Francisco Chronicle's Mick LaSalle praised the film and wrote, "Don't Look Up might be the funniest movie of 2021. It's the most depressing too, and that odd combination makes for a one-of-a-kind experience... McKay gives you over two hours of laughs while convincing you that the world is coming to an end."[58] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars and said: "From Streep and DiCaprio and Lawrence through the supporting players, Don't Look Up is filled with greatly talented actors really and truly selling this material—but the volume remains at 11 throughout the story when some changes in tone here and there might have more effectively carried the day."[59] Reviewing the film for the Los Angeles Times, Justin Chang wrote, "Nothing about the foolishness and outrageousness of what the movie shows us—no matter how virtuosically sliced and diced by McKay's characteristically jittery editor, Hank Corwin—can really compete with the horrors of our real-world American idiocracy."[60] Amit Katwala of Wired concluded that "Don't Look Up nails the frustration of being a scientist."[61] Linda Marric of The Jewish Chronicle gave the film 4/5 stars, writing: "There is something genuinely endearing about a film that doesn't seem to care one bit about coming across as silly as long as its message is heard".[62]

In a negative review, David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "A cynical, insufferably smug satire stuffed to the gills with stars that purports to comment on political and media inattention to the climate crisis but really just trivializes it. Dr. Strangelove it ain't."[63] Peter Debruge of Variety called the film a "smug, easy-target political satire" and wrote, "Don't Look Up plays like the leftie answer to Armageddon—which is to say, it ditches the Bruckheimer approach of assembling a bunch of blue-collar heroes to rocket out to space and nuke the approaching comet, opting instead to spotlight the apathy, incompetence and financial self-interest of all involved."[64] In The Guardian, Charles Bramesco wrote that the "script states the obvious as if everyone else is too stupid to realize it and does so from a position of lofty superiority that would drive away any partisans who still need to be won over."[65] In The Sociological Review, Katherine Cross accused the film of "smug condescension" and wrote that the film "is designed to flatter a certain type of liberal viewer into feeling like they're the last sane person in the world, surrounded by morons."[66]

Reviews from right-wing publications were nearly unanimously negative. Madeline Fry Schultz of the American conservative publication Washington Examiner wrote that "McKay manages to deliver nothing more than a derivative and meandering 'satire' of capitalism, Donald Trump, and climate deniers that will be forgotten in less than six months."[67] Kyle Smith of American conservative publication National Review wrote that the film "expends 140 brain-injuriously unfunny minutes... propelling low-velocity spitballs at social media, Washington, tech moguls, Trumpism, and (this detail feels thrown in last minute) anti-vaxxers."[68]

Nathan J. Robinson, editor of American progressive publication Current Affairs, believes that "critics were not only missing the point of the film in important ways, but that the very way they discussed the film exemplified the problem that the film was trying to draw attention to. Some of the responses to the movie could have appeared in the movie itself."[69] Slavoj Žižek, writing in Compact, said that "critics were displeased by the light tone of Don't Look Up!, claiming it trivializes the ultimate apocalypse. What really bothered these critics is the exact opposite: The film highlights trivialization that permeates not only the establishment, but even the protesters."[70] In The Guardian, Catherine Bennett viewed the film as astute and was caustic about the critical reviews.[71] British journalist and environmental activist George Monbiot wrote in The Guardian that "no wonder journalists have slated it ... it's about them" and added that for environmental activists like himself, the film, while fast‑paced and humorous, "seemed all too real".[72]

Bong Joon-ho, director of Snowpiercer and Parasite, included Don't Look Up as one of his favorite films of 2021.[73]

Reception amongst scientists edit

Since the film's release, numerous climate scientists and climate communicators have offered positive opinions on the film.[74][75][76]

In an opinion piece published in The Guardian, climate scientist Peter Kalmus remarked, "Don't Look Up is satire. But speaking as a climate scientist doing everything I can to wake people up and avoid planetary destruction, it's also the most accurate film about society's terrifying non-response to climate breakdown I've seen."[77] Climate scientist Michael E. Mann also expressed support for the film, calling it "serious sociopolitical commentary posing as comedy".[78] In an article for Scientific American, Rebecca Oppenheimer questioned the film's use of a comet impact as an effective metaphor for climate change, given the large differences in timescale of these differing potential extinction crisis events and the nature of their impacts, but praised its depiction of science denialism and depiction of a botched attempt to address a "planet-killer" comet.[16] Climate policy expert Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and McKay wrote a joint op-ed in The Guardian advocating for the value of humour in promoting action on climate change, in contrast with other media coverage.[79]

Writing in Physics World, Laura Hiscott said that this "genuinely funny and entertaining film" would appeal to scientists, who would appreciate the "nods to academia such as the importance of peer review, the 'publish or perish' problem and the issue of senior academics getting the credit for their PhD students' discoveries".[80]

One of the scenes in the film was compared on social media to a situation in Brazil. In that situation, microbiologist and science communicator Natália Pasternak Taschner criticized a news report made by TV Cultura on a live broadcast in December 2020. They told the Brazilian population to face the COVID-19 pandemic with "lightness", minimizing the risks. They also put pressure on the public to be content and uncritical of the Jair Bolsonaro administration's lack of effective response to the pandemic.[81] Hearing about the comparisons, Pasternak thanked McKay, DiCaprio and Lawrence on Twitter, with the video subtitled in English, for the "incredible" film.[82]

Analysis and themes edit

The topic of science communication is at the forefront of the film, as it revolves around Mindy and Dibiasky, two scientists, struggling to share the news of their discovery with politicians, talk show hosts, and civilians who are ignorant about the scientific facts of humanity's impending destruction by Comet Dibiasky. Many academic scholars of media and communication have written commentaries that analyze and critique the portrayal of science communication in the film.[citation needed]

U.S. centrism edit

In the Journal of Science Communication, Niels G. Mede writes "the film depicts sharp partisan divides, strong affective polarization, high distrust toward science within certain social milieus, and pronounced news media sensationalism, which have been found to be characteristic of the United States but not, or to a lesser extent, of several countries other than the US."[142] From the same journal, writer Julie Doyle remarked that, "yet, as the film critiques existing structures and systems it does not imagine an alternative set of realities, nor explain the comet's cause. In focusing upon the fictional stories of scientists, politicians, and media celebrities, the film fails to center any marginalized voices, continuing to privilege global north perspectives, even as these are satirised."[143] Doyle comments that "climate communication needs to keep in place both climate mitigation and adaptation, making the historical and structural inequalities of capitalism and colonialism the interconnected stories of both."[143]

Media training for scientists edit

One solution to Mindy and Dibiasky's failed attempts to communicate the severity of the impending comet is undergoing media training, which was brought up in the film multiple times, such as at the conference room at the New York Herald where the Chief Editor proposes media training to Mindy before the show. The concept of media training can come in different forms. Samer Angelone, in a commentary journal on science communication, writes, "The style that scientists use to communicate science to peer scientists is mostly objective, complex, and full of technical jargon, which is difficult for the general public to connect to—even if it is in the same language."[144] Another way to mitigate science skepticism is through storytelling. Mede writes, "The film also illustrates that storytelling can be a promising strategy to mitigate these reservations... showing how Mindy is advised before a TV interview that he is 'just telling a story' and must 'keep it simple.'"[142]

Gendered emotions in scientific communication edit

Gendered discourse on emotions and mental health make its way into the film through the portrayal of the public's reaction to Mindy and Dibiasky's various media appearances. The scientists share their discovery on a morning talk show, The Daily Rip, in which Dibiasky has an emotional outburst over the show hosts' persistent attempts to sugarcoat the devastating news of the doomsday comet. Professor of media and communication Julie Doyle writes, "Gendered norms affect Mindy and Dibiasky's public credibility and the mitigatory comet actions they promote. Following his own emotional outburst on TV, Mindy is subsequently recuperated through processes of celebritisation... hailed as a 'sexy' scientist offering rational and calm advice to the viewers; becoming chief science advisor to the White House to monitor the drone activities of tech billionaire Peter Isherwell; and embarking on a sexual affair with Evantee. In contrast, Dibiasky is discredited and side-lined from rational public commentary through (climate) memes."[143]

Easter eggs edit

Throughout the film, many historic figures from science and politics can be spotted, adding to the film's nuanced discussion about the relationship between science and politics.

The opening scene of the film features a figure of Carl Sagan on Dibiasky's desk. In a journal commentary for Science Communication, Samer Angelone writes that "Sagan was an astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, and astrobiologist but, above all, he was an upholder of scientific credibility and communication."[144] Sagan advocated for the urgency to battle climate change, and many viewers see the film as an allegory for him, but his image is juxtaposed by a painting of George W. Bush, "who later tried to downplay this urgency."[142] The film also "references the affinity of anti-science resentment and populism, showing how President Orlean and her team slander Mindy and Dibiasky using populist rhetoric...and gather in an Oval Office that has a portrait of the anti-establishment science skeptic Andrew Jackson."[142]

The film ends with a scene that reflects the Last Supper. Dr. Mindy, his family, Kate, Yule, and Teddy all sit around a dinner table and engage in a hand-held prayer, spoken by Yule. After the prayer, Kate Dibiasky gives Yule a kiss, and moments later Comet Dibiasky destroys Earth.[145]

collide with Earth in approximately six months and is large enough to cause a global extinction event NASA verifies the findings and Dr Teddy Oglethorpe head of their Planetary Defense Coordination Office accompanies Dibiasky and Mindy to present their findings to the White House However they are met with apathy from President Janie Orlean and her Chief of Staff Jason Orlean who is also her son Oglethorpe encourages Dibiasky and Mindy to leak the news to the media which they do so on The Daily Rip a popular morning talk show When hosts Jack Bremmer and Brie Evantee treat the topic lightly Dibiasky loses her temper and angrily rants about the threat before she flees the scene Mindy receives public approval for his looks while Dibiasky becomes the subject of negative memes for her on air behavior Actual news about the comet s threat receives little public attention and the danger is denied by Orlean s NASA Director Jocelyn Calder a top donor to Orlean with no background in astronomy When news of Orlean s sex scandal with her Supreme Court nominee Sheriff Conlon is exposed she distracts from the bad publicity by finally confirming the threat and announcing a project to strike and divert the comet using nuclear weapons The mission successfully launches but Orlean abruptly aborts it when Peter Isherwell the billionaire CEO of BASH Cellular and another top donor discovers that the comet contains trillions of dollars worth of rare earth elements The White House agrees to commercially exploit the comet by fragmenting and recovering it from the ocean using technology proposed by BASH in a scheme that has not undergone peer review Orlean sidelines Dibiasky and Oglethorpe while hiring Mindy as the National Science Advisor Dibiasky attempts to mobilize public opposition to the scheme but gives up under threat from Orlean s administration Mindy becomes a prominent voice advocating for the comet s commercial opportunities and begins an affair with Evantee World opinion is divided among people who believe the comet is a severe threat those who decry alarmism and believe that mining a destroyed comet will create jobs and those who deny that the comet even exists When Dibiasky returns home to Illinois her parents kick her out of the house and she begins a relationship with a young man named Yule a shoplifter she meets at her retail job After Mindy s wife confronts him about his infidelity she returns to Michigan without him Mindy questions whether Isherwell s technology will be able to break apart the comet angering the billionaire Becoming frustrated with the administration Mindy finally breaks down and rants on national television criticizing Orlean for downplaying the impending apocalypse and questioning humanity s indifference Cut off from the administration Mindy reconciles with Dibiasky as the comet becomes visible from Earth Mindy Dibiasky and Oglethorpe organize a protest campaign on social media telling people to Just Look Up and call on other countries to conduct comet interception operations Simultaneously Orlean starts an anti campaign telling people Don t Look Up Orlean and BASH cut Russia India and China out of the rights for the comet mining deal so they prepare their own joint deflection mission only for their spacecraft to explode As the comet becomes larger in the sky Orlean s supporters start turning on her administration BASH s attempt at breaking the comet apart goes awry and everyone realizes that humanity is doomed Isherwell Orlean and others in their elite circle board a sleeper spaceship designed to find an Earth like planet inadvertently leaving Jason behind Orlean offers Mindy two places on the ship but he declines choosing to spend a final evening with his friends and family As expected the comet strikes off the coast of Chile causing a worldwide disaster and triggering an extinction level event In a mid credits scene the 2 000 people who left Earth before the comet s impact land on a

Films the film was announced in November 2019 and sold by Paramount Pictures to Netflix several months later Lawrence became the first member of the cast to join with DiCaprio signing on after his discussions with McKay on adjustments to the script the rest of the cast was added through 2020 This movie came from my burgeoning terror about the climate crisis and the fact that we live in a society that tends to place it as the fourth or fifth news story or in some cases even deny that it s happening and how horrifying that is but at the same time preposterously funny 12 Adam McKay writer director and producer of Don t Look Up After Vice was released David Sirota asked Adam McKay to use his superpowers of humor and writing to create a climate change movie that would be different from the Mad Max type post apocalyptic films that had previously been released 13 In an interview with Entertainment Weekly McKay described how he and Sirota came up with the premise of Don t Look Up while discussing the existential threat of climate change and their frustration over the lack of media coverage it was receiving I started talking to a lot of climate scientists I kept looking for good news and I never got it Everything I was hearing was worse than what I was hearing on the mainstream media So I was talking to David Sirota and we were both just like can you believe that this isn t being covered in the media That it s being pushed to the end of the story That there s no headlines And Sirota just offhandedly said it s like a comet is heading to Earth and it s going to destroy us all and no one cares And I was like that s the idea 14 McKay has described the film as a blend of broad comedy with elements of disaster films and horror films 15 Astronomer Amy Mainzer principal investigator of NASA s NEOWISE mission that tracks near Earth objects served as an astrotech adviser for the film She provided scientific advice and supported with writing scenes from an early stage of production 16 17 On November 8 2019 it was announced that Paramount Pictures would distribute the film with Adam McKay writing directing and producing under his Hyperobject Industries

22 23 McKay wrote the part of Dibiasky specifically for Lawrence and spent four to five months going over ideas with DiCaprio tweaking the script before the actor ultimately signed on 24 In November 2020 Tyler Perry Melanie Lynskey and Ron Perlman joined the cast 25 Mark Rylance and Michael Chiklis were revealed as part of the cast in February 2021 26 Paul Guilfoyle was announced in May 27 Matthew Perry was also cast and had scenes filmed with Hill that were ultimately cut from the final film due to health issues 28 Gina Gershon also filmed a scene with DiCaprio and Blanchett that was cut from the film 29 Leonardo DiCaprio received top billing on the film s posters and the trailers while Jennifer Lawrence was accorded top billing at the beginning of the film itself This was also the case with earlier productions The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 1962 with James Stewart and John Wayne and All the President s Men 1976 with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman Principal photography

controlled glass explosion went awry 34 Filming wrapped on February 18 2021 35 Lawsuit edit On December 6 2023 Adam McKay along with Netflix was sued for copyright infringement over Don t Look Up William Collier an author from Baton Rouge Louisiana claimed that he is the original writer of the story set in Baton Rouge called Stanley s Comet which he self published in 2012 Collier s daughter worked for Jimmer Miller Entertainment part of McKay s management team until 2015 Collier alleges that his daughter submitted the text to Mosaic Media Group and it was then received by McKay s manager Since Stanley s Comet was received by McKay s manager custom and practice in the entertainment industry dictates that this constitutes receipt by McKay writes Steven Lowe a lawyer for Collier in the suit Furthermore upon information and belief the Novel was transmitted via courier email or hand delivery or via other means to McKay himself 36 The movie like the novel makes a strong political critique of the media the government and the cultural elite by showcasing their shallowness and reliance on popular opinion polls and social media algorithms writes USC professor of comparative literature David Roman McKay s film is also full of satire and humor and like Stanley s Comet moves toward the absurd In each case the irony drives the humor and the social critique and does so in the same style and method 36 Music edit Main article Don t Look Up soundtrack To promote the film on December 3 2021 Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi released the single Just Look Up which is also performed in the film 37 The original score for the film is composed by Nicholas Britell who previously scored McKay s The Big Short 2015 Vice 2018 and the HBO television series Succession 2019 2022 McKay served as an executive producer of the latter He used a wide range of instrumentation that reflect varied music styles and genres 38 39 He did this so as to give a remainder on the existential crisis on the planet following a catastrophic event as well as the absurdity of how people react to it 40 Apart from Just Look Up the film also featured Second Nature by Bon Iver which was released along with Britell s score album on December 10 by Republic Records 41 Reception editBox office and VoD edit On February 19 2020 it was announced that Netflix planned to release the film in 2020 19 Due to the

navigate comfortably Consider splitting content into sub articles condensing it or adding subheadings Please discuss this issue on the article s talk page January 2022 On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes 55 of 305 critics reviews are positive with an average rating of 6 3 10 The website s consensus reads Don t Look Up aims too high for its scattershot barbs to consistently land but Adam McKay s star studded satire hits its target of collective denial square on 56 Metacritic which uses a weighted average assigned the film a score of 49 out of 100 based on 52 critics indicating mixed or average reviews 57 The San Francisco Chronicle s Mick LaSalle praised the film and wrote Don t Look Up might be the funniest movie of 2021 It s the most depressing too and that odd combination makes for a one of a kind experience McKay gives you over two hours of laughs while convincing you that the world is coming to an end 58 Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun Times gave the film 2 5 out of 4 stars and said From Streep and DiCaprio and Lawrence through the supporting players Don t Look Up is filled with greatly talented actors really and truly selling this material but the volume remains at 11 throughout the story when some changes in tone here and there might have more effectively carried the day 59 Reviewing the film for the Los Angeles Times Justin Chang wrote Nothing about the foolishness and outrageousness of what the movie shows us no matter how virtuosically sliced and diced by McKay s characteristically jittery editor Hank Corwin can really compete with the horrors of our real world American idiocracy 60 Amit Katwala of Wired concluded that Don t Look Up nails the frustration of being a scientist 61 Linda Marric of The Jewish Chronicle gave the film 4 5 stars writing There is something genuinely endearing about a film that doesn t seem to care one bit about coming across as silly as long as its message is heard 62 In a negative review David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called the film A cynical insufferably smug satire stuffed to the gills with stars that purports to comment on political and media inattention to the climate crisis but really just trivializes it Dr Strangelove it ain t 63 Peter Debruge of Variety called the film a smug easy target political satire and wrote Don t Look Up plays like the leftie answer to Armageddon which is to say it ditches the Bruckheimer approach of assembling a bunch of blue collar heroes to rocket out to space and nuke the approaching comet opting instead to spotlight the apathy incompetence and financial self interest of all involved 64 In The Guardian Charles Bramesco wrote that the script states the obvious as if everyone else is too stupid to realize it and does so from a position of lofty superiority that would drive away any partisans who still need to be won over 65 In The Sociological Review Katherine Cross accused the film of smug condescension and wrote that the film is designed to flatter a certain type of liberal viewer into feeling like they re the last sane person in the world surrounded by morons 66 Reviews from right wing publications were nearly unanimously negative Madeline Fry Schultz of the American conservative publication Washington Examiner wrote that McKay manages to deliver nothing more than a derivative and meandering satire of capitalism Donald Trump and climate deniers that will be forgotten in less than six months 67 Kyle Smith of American conservative publication National Review wrote that the film expends 140 brain injuriously unfunny minutes propelling low velocity spitballs at social media Washington tech moguls Trumpism and this detail feels thrown in last minute anti vaxxers 68 Nathan J Robinson editor of American progressive publication Current Affairs believes that critics were not only missing the point of the film in important ways but that the very way they discussed the film exemplified the problem that the film was trying to draw attention to Some of the responses to the movie could have appeared in the movie itself 69 Slavoj Zizek writing in Compact said that critics were displeased by the light tone of Don t Look Up claiming it trivializes the ultimate apocalypse What really bothered these critics is the exact opposite The film highlights trivialization that permeates not only the establishment but even the protesters 70 In The Guardian Catherine Bennett viewed the film as astute and was caustic about the critical reviews 71 British journalist and environmental activist George Monbiot wrote in The Guardian that no wonder journalists have slated it it s about them and added that for environmental activists like himself the film while fast paced and humorous seemed all too real 72 Bong Joon ho director of Snowpiercer and Parasite included Don t Look Up as one of his favorite films of 2021 73 Reception amongst scientists edit Since the film s release numerous climate scientists and climate communicators have offered positive opinions on the film 74 75 76 In an opinion piece published in The Guardian climate scientist Peter Kalmus remarked Don t Look Up is satire But speaking as a climate scientist doing everything I can to wake people up and avoid planetary destruction it s also the most accurate film about society s terrifying non response to climate breakdown I ve seen 77 Climate scientist Michael E Mann also expressed support for the film calling it serious sociopolitical commentary posing as comedy 78 In an article for Scientific American Rebecca Oppenheimer questioned the film s use of a comet impact as an effective metaphor for climate change given the large differences in timescale of these differing potential extinction crisis events and the nature of their impacts but praised its depiction of science denialism and depiction of a botched attempt to address a planet killer comet 16 Climate policy expert Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and McKay wrote a joint op ed in The Guardian advocating for the value of humour in promoting action on climate change in contrast with other media coverage 79 Writing in Physics World Laura Hiscott said that this genuinely funny and entertaining film would appeal to scientists who would appreciate the nods to academia such as the importance of peer review the publish or perish problem and the issue of senior academics getting the credit for their PhD students discoveries 80 One of the scenes in the film was compared on social media to a situation in Brazil In that situation microbiologist and science communicator Natalia Pasternak Taschner criticized a news report made by TV Cultura on a live broadcast in December 2020 They told the Brazilian population to face the COVID 19 pandemic with lightness minimizing the risks They also put pressure on the public to be content and uncritical of the Jair Bolsonaro administration s lack of effective response to the pandemic 81 Hearing about the comparisons Pasternak thanked McKay DiCaprio and Lawrence on Twitter with the video subtitled in English for the incredible film 82 Accolades edit Accolades received by Don t Look Up

141 Analysis and themes editThe topic of science communication is at the forefront of the film as it revolves around Mindy and Dibiasky two scientists struggling to share the news of their discovery with politicians talk show hosts and civilians who are ignorant about the scientific facts of humanity s impending destruction by Comet Dibiasky Many academic scholars of media and communication have written commentaries that analyze and critique the portrayal of science communication in the film citation needed U S centrism edit In the Journal of Science Communication Niels G Mede writes the film depicts sharp partisan divides strong affective polarization high distrust toward science within certain social milieus and pronounced news media sensationalism which have been found to be characteristic of the United States but not or to a lesser extent of several countries other than the US 142 From the same journal writer Julie Doyle remarked that yet as the film critiques existing structures and systems it does not imagine an alternative set of realities nor explain the comet s cause In focusing upon the fictional stories of scientists politicians and media celebrities the film fails to center any marginalized voices continuing to privilege global north perspectives even as these are satirised 143 Doyle comments that climate communication needs to keep in place both climate mitigation and adaptation making the historical and structural inequalities of capitalism and colonialism the interconnected stories of both 143 Media training for scientists edit One solution to Mindy and Dibiasky s failed attempts to communicate the severity of the impending comet is undergoing media training which was brought up in the film multiple times such as at the conference room at the New York Herald where the Chief Editor proposes media training to Mindy before the show The concept of media training can come in different forms Samer Angelone in a commentary journal on science communication writes The style that scientists use to communicate science to peer scientists is mostly objective complex and full of technical jargon which is difficult for the general public to connect to even if it is in the same language 144 Another way to mitigate science skepticism is through storytelling Mede writes The film also illustrates that storytelling can be a promising strategy to mitigate these reservations showing how Mindy is advised before a TV interview that he is just telling a story and must keep it simple 142 Gendered emotions in scientific communication edit Gendered discourse on emotions and mental health make its way into the film through the portrayal of the public s reaction to Mindy and Dibiasky s various media appearances The scientists share their discovery on a morning talk show The Daily Rip in which Dibiasky has an emotional outburst over the show hosts persistent attempts to sugarcoat the devastating news of the doomsday comet Professor of media and communication Julie Doyle writes Gendered norms affect Mindy and Dibiasky s public credibility and the mitigatory comet actions they promote Following his own emotional outburst on TV Mindy is subsequently recuperated through processes of celebritisation hailed as a sexy scientist offering rational and calm advice to the viewers becoming chief science advisor to the White House to monitor the drone activities of tech billionaire Peter Isherwell and embarking on a sexual affair with Evantee In contrast Dibiasky is discredited and side lined from rational public commentary through climate memes 143 Easter eggs edit Throughout the film many historic figures from science and politics can be spotted adding to the film s nuanced discussion about the relationship between science and politics The opening scene of the film features a figure of Carl Sagan on Dibiasky s desk In a journal commentary for Science Communication Samer Angelone writes that Sagan was an astronomer planetary scientist cosmologist astrophysicist and astrobiologist but above all he was an upholder of scientific credibility and communication 144 Sagan advocated for the urgency to battle climate change and many viewers see the film as an allegory for him but his image is juxtaposed by a painting of George W Bush who later tried to downplay this urgency 142 The film also references the affinity of anti science resentment and populism showing how President Orlean and her team slander Mindy and Dibiasky using populist rhetoric and gather in an Oval Office that has a portrait of the anti establishment science skeptic Andrew Jackson 142 The film ends with a scene that reflects the Last Supper Dr Mindy his family Kate Yule and Teddy all sit around a dinner table and engage in a hand held prayer spoken by Yule After the prayer Kate Dibiasky gives Yule a kiss and moments later Comet Dibiasky destroys Earth 145 See also editDouble Asteroid Redirection Test a real NASA mission
