Reminded me Wag The Dog a little bit. Even though creators of this film intended it to be left-leaning, obviously, with comet as a proxy for impending global warming doom (or was is a global cooling catastrophe , as it was in 80s ? ), the self-serving political elites suppressing anything which goes against government line are actually epitomize leftist elites of present day…and they neurotic supporters, with
their obsession with entertainment, high tech, and groupthink. Typical GenZ-ers. Funny how it turns out
I also thought that explosion on Russian space launch center exactly at the moment Russians tried to launch its own mission to save the Earth in opposition to American, er, policy, reminds of recent explosion of Russian gas pipelines, Nordstream - even though happened after movie was released, I think ? what a prophecy, lol
