Synopsis: Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. The problem - it's on a direct collision course with Earth. The other problem? No one really seems to care. Turns out warning mankind about a planet-killer the size of Mount Everest is an inconvenient fact to navigate. With the help of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall embark on a media tour that takes them from the office of an indifferent President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her sycophantic son and Chief of Staff, Jason (Jonah Hill), to the airwaves of The Daily Rip, an upbeat morning show hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). With only six months until the comet makes impact, managing the 24-hour news cycle and gaining the attention of the social media obsessed public before it's too late proves shockingly comical - what will it take to get the world to just look up?

Release on Netflix: December 2021, 24.

Critics' reviews

"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. Adam McKay gives you over two hours of laughs while convincing you that the world is coming to an end"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
"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"

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"Depressing (...) A witless satire about the end of the world (...) It isn't smart enough to be a wakeup call or shocking enough to scare people straight"

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"'Don't Look Up' delivers a scathing satire that occasionally veers off course (...) A sobering message, but one that comes barreling toward us through the lens of an uneven movie"

Brian Lowry: CNN
"Leo and JLaw actually hilarious in end-of-world satire ‘Don’t Look Up’ (...) it’s entertaining and fun (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Johnny Oleksinski: New York Post
"McKay’s ill-advised Sorkinization—his eagerness to prove himself a man of principles and not just chortles—continues apace. But even the eternally serious-minded Sorkin is funnier—and that’s saying a lot."

Stephanie Zacharek: Time
"Starry, silly disaster flick (...) It's hard not to long for the shrewder movie that might have been: Not just a kooky scattershot look, but a deeper truer gaze into the void"

Leah Greenblatt: Entertainment Weekly
