What's Mickey 17 All About?

Okay, so Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) is an expendable guy. He gets sent to live on this frozen planet called Niflheim. His job? To do the risky stuff no one else wants to do.

Here's the weird part: Whenever he dies, they clone him. He wakes up with his memories, and life goes on… until things go sideways.

This time, a new clone (Mickey 18) shows up even though Mickey 17 is still kicking which isn't supposed to happen. Now it's a wild story with action, dark jokes, and a jab at the corporate world. Mickey's fighting to stay alive and deal with his replacement.

It's based on Edward Ashton’s book Mickey7. The movie turns it all up a notch with Bong Joon Ho’s way of telling stories. It’s sci-fi with heart, jokes, and stuff to think about.

 

The cast is great:

Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes (both Mickey 17 & Mickey 18)  He’s kind of a goofball, also brave, and everything else.

-  Naomi Ackie as Nasha Mickey’s tough girlfriend.

-  Steven Yeun as Timo – Important member of the crew.

-  Mark Ruffalo as Kenneth Marshall – The hard-nosed spaceship captain.

-  Toni Collette as Ylfa – The captain’s smart and strong wife.

Pattinson is super good playing two versions of the same dude, bringing both humor and seriousness. And with Bong Joon Ho in charge, the acting is awesome!
