"Mickey 17: Viewing Options - Theaters and Streaming"

Award-winning director Bong Joon Ho, celebrated for his groundbreaking films, has returned with a new cinematic venture titled "Mickey 17." In this film, he collaborates with Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in "Twilight" and "The Batman." Pattinson takes on the role of an "expendable," a character who is sent into dangerous environments to die, only to be revived as a clone to face the same fate repeatedly. This concept echoes Pattinson's previous character, Cedric Diggory, whom he humorously expressed a desire to "give a second chance at life."

In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the philosophical depths of "Mickey 17," describing it as a sci-fi comedy that, despite its depressing tone, confronts viewers with its pessimism. Adlakha notes that the film transforms Edward Ashton's novel into a profound commentary on contemporary political climates, holding everyone accountable for their actions within these larger forces.

For those eager to experience "Mickey 17," the film is currently showing in theaters. You can find showtimes at popular cinema chains such as Fandango, AMC Theaters, Cinemark Theaters, and Regal Theaters. If you're interested in watching it at home, "Mickey 17" is set to stream on Max, due to its distributor Warner Bros. owning the service. Given the release patterns of other Warner Bros. films like "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" and "Joker: Folie a Deux," "Mickey 17" is expected to be available on Max by late July.
