2025 has had its fair share of great movies, but sadly, a bunch of them have been overlooked. “Black Bag,” “The Long Walk” and “Warfare” are just a few examples. Thankfully, the biggest streaming services tend to pick up these forgotten releases, with Prime Video adding “Mickey 17” to its lineup. I had a blast watching the sci-fi comedy in March, but haven’t heard anything about following its average box office performance.
“Mickey 17” comes from director Bong Joon Ho (best known for “Parasite”) and stars Robert Pattinson in the lead role. I knew from the premise alone that it was going to be a weird experience, but I didn’t expect it to be one of the strangest movies I’ve seen in 2025 (and that’s a compliment). The movie is an expertly assembled sci-fi adventure that maintains a steady mix of suspense and laughs throughout, which is why it’s such a shame the hype was so short-lived.
