Mickey17 (2025) and I didn't really like it.
I read the book recently and had no idea they were making a movie. When I heard about the movie, I was hyped as I really liked the book. However it turned out the movie had very little in common with the book. Some of the plot points were there and some of the changes I understood. But a lot of them I didn't understand. The themes and characters were totally different and I didn't really like the direction they took the story.
In my opinion the acting was good and the CGI was fine. Costume design was a bit uninspired, but that might be fitting for the story. The movie was also a bit long and at the same time didn't cover everything from the book. Maybe there was just too much story for a movie.
I kind hate the old cliche of the book was better than the movie, but in this case I fully agree. The movie wasn't very good and the book was very good. So not recommended by me.
I enjoyed it, it was entertaining.
