Story Movie

One evening, a strange-looking man who resembles a homeless person walks into an ordinary diner. He claims to have come from the future and tries to rally the patrons to fight against an uncontrollable artificial intelligence that, according to him, will soon enslave humanity. But since those present don’t believe him, thinking he’s crazy, the stranger—threatening to blow himself up along with everyone else—assembles a squad of “volunteers” and sets out with them to carry out his mission.

Review 4K Movie

Frank Zappa once said, “The brain is like a parachute. It only works when it’s open.” This idea applies particularly well to certain films. Because sometimes cinema demands just one thing from the viewer: to let go of control a little and accept the rules of the game, no matter how strange they may be. The new film by Gore Verbinski, director of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ is just such a movie.

One evening, a strange-looking man who resembles a homeless person appears in a diner. He claims to have come from the future and tries to rally the patrons to fight against an uncontrollable artificial intelligence that will soon enslave humanity. And since no one believes him, the stranger—threatening to blow himself up along with everyone else—recruits a squad of “volunteers” himself and sets off with them to carry out his mission.

I haven’t seen anything this hilariously absurd since *Where’s My Car, Dude?*. At times, the film looks as if someone decided to test just how far they could push the weirdness before the viewer completely loses track of what’s actually happening. And, surprisingly, it works.

The film clearly demonstrates one thing: modern cinema no longer has any limits on what’s possible. Any idea, no matter how crazy, can be brought to life on screen today. And Verbinski takes genuine pleasure in this process. In Hollywood, people love to speculate about how artificial intelligence will soon start writing screenplays. But after watching a film like this, you begin to suspect that AI simply isn’t capable of reaching such a level of madness.

When a cat-centaur appears in the film at some point, you don’t even bother asking yourself, “Why?” What’s more, the scene itself winks at the viewer: the film literally trolls its own strangeness, as if someone had entered the prompt “cat + centaur” into an idea generator, looked at the result, and decided to keep it.

A movie featuring a cat-centaur no longer has to explain anything.

Sam Rockwell deserves a special mention. This isn’t his first time playing strange characters in equally strange sci-fi movies—just think of his Zafoda Bibbbrox in *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy*. And if you look for them, you can find plenty of parallels between these two films: the same absurd humor, the same willingness of the script to veer off in directions that studio cinema usually doesn’t even consider. Only now, Rockwell seems to feel even more at home in this chaos.

For all its comedic madness, the film also tackles a more serious theme. It is, in essence, a story about the dialogue between humans and artificial intelligence. About the future we are trying to build with our own hands right now. About the attempt to heal old social wounds using technologies we don’t fully understand ourselves.

Sending a shout-out to ‘Black Mirror,’ heh heh.

All in all, ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, and Don't Die’ is a very strange movie. Sometimes silly, sometimes unexpectedly clever, but almost always damn funny. A film that clearly isn’t trying to please everyone. But if you’re ready to open your “parachute”—enjoyment is almost guaranteed. And what’s especially nice is that there’s room here for an unexpected plot twist at the very end. One that manages to surprise you even after you’ve already accepted the existence of a cat-centaur as an absolutely normal part of this story.
