It was an interesting movie I thought, not terrible but not great
I hope filmmakers keep expermenting with unusual premises like this. Can't help but think they'll gesture to the financial performance of this one and use it as an excuse not to take risks.
Maybe it will have a long tail on streaming!
I enjoyed it, but it felt like it could've done with some editing.
Spoilers in which I try to figure out how I'd fix it, as if I know anything about this
Timo and Kai in particular both disappear for large stretches of the film after getting enough attention to be significant parts of the film but not enough to satisfactorily conclude their storylines. Maybe combining their roles would have worked? Replace Kai's brief romantic interest with Timo wanting his "friend" back. Timo wants Mickey 17 specifically because he won't push back on Timo's bullshit. That way the now-combined storyline for that character gets to feel much more complete and we're probably also taking less time to do it because we don't need to introduce Kai
