The plot: A disposable employee is sent on a human expedition to colonize the ice world Niflheim. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact.
Mickley 17 Movie was Good.
Pros: Robert Pattinson did a incredible performance playing three versions of the same character. I enjoy how it’s explored these inner workings inside the space ship involving human cloning. Mickey & Nasha did make a interesting pairing. At times it can get hilarious. There was gorgeous CGI creature design and How 3rd act was leading up to the finale.
Cons: The storyline did gets complicated to follow at times. 2nd half of the film did slowdown in quality. I’m soft of mix on Mark Ruffalo and Toni Colllette’s characters in this film. It didn’t feel like anything all that original and I left the cinema feeling deflated.
