Yeah, I'd call it heavy handed. It felt like it was a message first. Not as bad as the Daily Wire stuff, but going down that road. Even if I agree with the message, it felt contrived.

Just my two cents though.

That's what I saw on reddit only for a week later to see someone argue that it's not about climate change because it's literally about a meteor.

So there you go, you probably weren't the target audience

it makes sense to me. if the movie was supposed to be about climate change, why wouldn’t they make it about climate change?

is that something people do? make a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification?

@affiliate @kameecoding It's called an allegory, it can make what's being compared to easier to accept or understand

Agreed. It came across as preachy instead of entertaining, but it seemed like it was trying really hard to be entertaining.
