Mickey 17

For as long as humanity has existed, one question has existed that can never really be answered: what does it feel like to die? Mickey Barnes could tell you. In fact, he could tell you what it's like to die in sixteen different ways—and none of them pretty. Trying to leave Earth after ending up in crushing debt, Mickey (Robert Pattinson) signs up to work for the colonization program on the planet Nilfheim. Specifically, Mickey is an "expendable," undertaking dangerous and incredibly life-threatening assignments for the betterment of the colony. And when he inevitably dies, his body is simply reprinted—in a shuddering, morbid manner not unlike an inkjet—and uploaded with his existing memories so he can return to work and eventually die again. When "Mickey 17" is thought dead after an accident, Mickey 18 is printed. The only problem? Mickey 17 is still alive, breaking the rule of the colony stating that only one clone can exist at a time, and the governing forces of the colony (Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette) are determined to enforce that rule by whatever means necessary. Director Bong Joon-ho (Parasite, Snowpiercer) returns to the big screen with Mickey 17, a film that "is funny and charming from the get-go, building out a fascinating sci-fi world from its central conceit that ends up speaking to powerful and timely concerns through humour, satire and exhilarating genre elements. Bong Joon-ho's best English movie to date and arguably Robert Pattinson's best movie ever."—David Opie, Total Film.
