Gore Verbinski’s “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die”
Movie review by Dennis D. McDonald
This movie is a mess. Strong casting choices are undermined by a derivative plot, uneven editing, disjointed storytelling, murky photography, and uninspired anti-AI satire.
Maybe that’s the point: as a society our approach to the challenges of this modern world is disjointed and scattershot.
Meanwhile, I found the serious themes seemingly being addressed here were buried by jokey dialog and constant forced silliness.
My recommendation: instead of this film, curl up with a decent SF novel like Philip K. Dick’s “Ubik.”

What is on display here is a technocratic approach to filmmaking driven by a checklist of sights, events, and characters that a committee decided need to be on display.
Still, the movie is worth a watch especially for the first half or so. But eventually the silliness overwhelms the acting, editing, and wonderful production values. Lucy at the end reaches for spectacular profundity but lands with the thud. We’ve seen it all before.
There’s so much eye candy displayed you almost forget about the labored exposition and hackneyed plot.
But with a movie like X-Men you get the sense that there is just too much of everything — too many characters, too many action scenes, too many speeches, too many forgettable details.
The first half of ENDER’S GAME plays like every “raw recruit boot camp” movie you’ve ever seen, punctuated by sequences about paintball in zero gravity.
I loved the book. To say I’m disappointed with the TV series would be an understatement. I’ve watched 5 or 6 episodes so far (via Amazon Prime) but I think I’ll stop there.
Having grown up reading the science fiction of Clarke, Heinlein, and Asimov, the original Star Trek TV series always seemed unsophisticated and juvenile.
The only reason I rented this Blu-ray was to see Charlize Theron. I was smitten by her in Prometheus and was really looking forward to seeing her in a turn as the Evil Stepmother.
Alas, it was not to be.
I was really looking forward to seeing Iron Sky after all the online hype. Actually seeing it was a major disappointment. This movie is awful.
I’m not a big fan of James Bond movies. I enjoyed Skyfall but I admit to having been bored at times. Why? A couple of reasons:
This formulaic spy thriller has one too many ridiculous shoot-outs and car chases to be credible.
