Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is neither lucky nor fun ... although it might make you want to play dead for at least a few minutes.

4/5

It is grippingly unpredictable – a film with a glint in its eye and smoke curling from its nostrils and underpants. But you dismiss it, or miss it, at your peril.

3/5

It’s ideologically flawed, structurally jumbled, and a little too enamoured by its dystopian predecessors. But it’s also sort of wonderfully personal, cranky and spiked -- like an affronted hedgehog trying to repeatedly ram your shin.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is worth seeing for its exceptional performances, its catawampus narrative, and its hopelessly hopeless take on a dystopian future.

This sci-fi action comedy has some impressive creativity in its story about a time traveler who recruits people to stop an A.I. apocalypse. This overstuffed movie falls short of greatness when it gets too preachy about technology addiction.

This movie is presented as a dark comedy with relatively few factual elements, warning us against against the threat of a giant cat and zombie-like teenagers. That's not the real threat, but it is an entertaining movie.

A fun watch with a pertinent message, albeit past due. The film managed to hold a mirror up to our societal problem of social media and AI fixations without feeling forced. Sam Rockwell, as he so often does, absolutely stands out in a role that was obviously written with him in mind. A fun film with a message of a bleak future, lest we humans shift our course and our attention span. Fans of Terry Gilliam films will find much to like here.

Black Mirror meets Groundhog Day. It's an excellent dystopian sci fi black comedy satire. Go see it and take some time to reflect on its message.
