3. Don’t Look Up (2021)
With a star-studded cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Mark Rylance, Jonah Hill, Tyler Perry, and Meryl Streep, ‘Don’t Look Up’ is a disaster movie underscored by dark humor. Directed by Adam McKay, it has a pretty simple plot that involves an astronomy professor (DiCaprio) and her student (Lawrence) trying to use a media tour to make the public aware that in 6 months, a comet will hit Earth and has the potential for global extinction. As serious as the issue is, no one seems interested in listening to what they have to say, be it the very President of the United States or a couple of upbeat morning show hosts. As we get to see how different people react to the news or how they don’t, we are provided with a clear view of how we, as humans, have reached a point of ignorance from which there is no return, even in the face of extinction. You can stream the film here.
