Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up is the spiritual successor to Idiocracy, a parable about government incompetence and national stupidity for the modern era. A comet of human civilization destroying proportions is on a collision course with the Earth, and astronomer duo Kate and Randall are the only two people on the planet who understand the gravity of the threat – no pun intended. The pair attempt to rally humanity’s best minds to come up with a solution, but the only intellects they come across are below average at best. While the American government is at first gung ho at solving the problem with a nuclear bombardment, they’re convinced otherwise by independent billionaires who want to mine the planet-destroyer for rare minerals – oblivious to the fact that there won’t be anywhere left to spend the money after impact. It’s an examination of the stupidity of American oligarchy, how the powerful and the powerfully uninformed are often one and the same – with devastating consequences for the rest of humanity.
