#Don't Look Up The negative reviews for "Don't Look Up" largely stem from two issues. Firstly, its satire is too broad, targeting too many people and institutions. Secondly, while marketed as a comedy with actors giving exaggerated performances, it simply isn't that funny. The genuinely humorous moments are mostly contained within the trailers. A comedy that fails to deliver on laughs is bound to irritate audiences. However, the most valuable aspect of this film is the genuine pessimism and anger of its creators. They are left with a sense of hopelessness; capable of identifying the problem, yet utterly unable to solve it, resulting in a feeling of profound helplessness.
