Mickey 17 is sure to get viewers thinking as it is easy to compare to the world we are living in today. On paper it might not seem like it, but this movie is absolutely an allegory for our government, making it quite political. At the same time, it is filled with goofy humor and several unforgettable performances. Robert Pattinson does a phenomenal job playing several different characters, all of whom might look the same but very clearly feel like their own individuals. Mark Ruffalo does his best Donald Trump impersonation and while that might not have been on purpose, it is impossible not to see it. The movie is a tad on the long side and could have used a bit of cleaning up, but it is still worth seeing on the big screen. It does not need to be opening weekend, however, as there are not really any big twists or turns that could spoil the entire thing for you if you wait a week or two.
