Story
Two astronomers, Dr. Randall Mindy and his grad student Kate Dibiasky, discover a comet hurtling towards Earth that will cause its extinction within six months. They embark on a media tour to warn humanity, but struggle as few seem to care or understand the urgency of their message due to collective apathy and distractions from everyday life.
Summary
Directed by Adam McKay, 'Don't Look Up' is a satirical black comedy-drama that uses an impending comet impact as a metaphor for societal indifference towards pressing issues like climate change. The film follows the futile attempts of two astronomers to warn humanity about their imminent doom, highlighting how collective apathy and distracted attention spans hinder urgent matters.
