The TVI Take

Two astronomers try to warn the world about a planet-killing comet. Adam McKay's political satire is blunt — the allegory for climate change is explicit.

Educational about science communication, media failure, and political dysfunction. The ensemble is exceptional. The satire is effective even if the subtlety is absent.
