The movie isn't satire, it's the hard reality. We have at least two extinction level scenarios unfolding before our very eyes, climate change and AI, and we're handling them exactly like how the comet is treated in this movie: playing down risks, denial, ridiculisation and downright greed.
This movie perfectly demonstrates the current state of our society. Politicians are more worried about their next elections than they are about running their country, businesses worry about their bottom lines and forget that ultimately society is all about humans. And us people, we're wasting all our valuable time watching our smartphones. Meanwhile when there really is a threat, we deny it exists. Or call it politically motivated.
Ultimately it'll be this stupidity and shortsightedness that might be our downfall.
One line from the movie hits home: "we really had it all"
