Don’t Look Up is about astronomer Dr. Randall Mindy, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and his student, Kate Dibiasky played by Jennifer Lawrence, both of whom are trying to warn the world of a comet that’s headed straight for Earth to destroy human civilization. When Adam McKay's new satirical movie, which tackles the topic of climate change, recently debuted on Netflix, he was not expecting such harsh criticism. McKay spoke to Variety about the “intense anger” of some critics’ reactions to the film, saying he was “surprised” how negative they were.

 

 

"I think we were all quite shocked. The reviews were pretty much 50-50, and that’s fine, we’ve all been through that. But I was shocked by the really intense anger that some critics had. We had been screening the movie and had gotten no reactions like that ever. Generally speaking, test audiences were laughing. So when reviews came out… That’s not to say they’re incorrect. Of course, responses will be complicated and passionate… On social media, I joked about some responses, saying some people didn’t seem clued into what was going on in the world. Immediately social media descended on me like a pack of hyenas. 'He’s saying if you don’t like the movie then you don’t care about the world!' That wasn’t what I was saying! Suddenly it all had a crazy momentum and there was a backlash against the critics. And there became a talking point 'If you question the critics, you’re guilty of Trumpism!' It was right out of the movie. To see passionate response, to see climate scientists say 'I feel seen.'"

Check out some of the reactions below, which many people are finding funny!
