I went into this film with little to no expectations, except that it was on Netflix and being viewed a lot right now. That with the cast was enough to intrigue me, and I saw at some point it was a "dark comedy based on true events" or some such nonsense. Anyway, since I have not known of any historical event in which an asteroid was certain to impact earth with a mass-extinction event (other than pre-human asteroids, aka dinosaurs), I had to assume that this "based on true events" film was some sort of allegory. In watching the movie, I couldn't quite pin down whether the catastrophic event was CoVid, the general civil unrest or something else. After watching it apparently, it was about climate change? I dunno, anyway, that's my least favorite analogy because it misses the point a bit of the ending.

The ending scene at the table was one of the only redeeming qualities about the film to me, other than a clever--if convoluted--story arc. Specifically, when Dr. Mindy is touching his family, and the world is coming apart, the line, "We really did have it all didn't we?" was well crafted and well delivered. This is why I don't buy the analogy for climate change vs. some other catastrophe. Climate change is a threat to humanity (as it has always been), but it's a long-dogged threat...it seems to me we are far more likely to screw ourselves over more quickly in the short term! Score: 5/10; overall review: Meh.
