Bong Joon-ho showcases exceptional craftsmanship that dazzles the senses but ultimately stumbles in its final act. Where Mickey 17 truly excels is in its breathtaking production design and cinematography-Darius Khondji's beautifully dystopian visuals and Fiona Crombie's imposing industrial gloom create frozen landscapes of haunting beauty that speak vividly for themselves. The film's greatest technical achievement lies in its outstanding Dolby Atmos sound mix.

Robert Pattinson delivers one of his most challenging performances to date, convincingly embodying multiple iterations of Mickey Barnes through subtle changes in voice, delivery, and demeanor. The supporting cast provides solid work across the board-Naomi Ackie brings spirit and loyalty as security officer Nasha, Steven Yeun remains a welcome presence despite limited material, and Mark Ruffalo chews scenery with relish as the megalomaniacal Kenneth Marshall.

Despite its many technical and performance strengths, the end is weak. The initial mix of humor and originality is lost, and by the end, the movie feels hurriedly wrapped up, lacking real creativity or impact as it devolves into a generic action climax disconnected from the film's more thoughtful earlier segments.

These 2 movies shouldn't be compared, the Indian one uses Aamir Khan in a very high career position in a very developed industry with 7 times the budget. For latin-america is almost a miracle this exists, the usual budget for this kind of movies is 1 to 1.5 millions, and the script, planning and music is very simple. Yes, it falls very far from the original but it is a very good starting point. I celebrate they try to follow the original usually the industry here just takes the original concept and scraps the rest. Besides, It is nice they run a movie with this topic that is not violence or poor vs rich. Finally, they develop a little more the love story which is not very developed in the indian one.

Scenarios, colors, filming and even many of the CGI scenes were well executed (let's assume those sharks weren't there). I can even forget about the music because you can get away with the first movie music. But the script, oh my god, you know you need to step up, you know every body is waiting to hear what you need to say after 20 years. It feels flat, simple, even childish, You can watch the movie in mute and the result will be the same, or even better. The mother script is inexistent, the main character wins command over a legion of fearsome guys just by being there or being someone important. This movie writing was a mess and everybody knows it.
