Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die
I went into Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die thinking that it would be a fun romp like Everything Everywhere All at Once, but sadly, I was disappointed. I wanted it to leave me feeling good after the characters had battled whatever was causing the dystopia. It left me hopeless. Very dark. Is this the sign of the times? That there is only endless suffering and now matter what we do we can not get out from under it?
The movie is a classic time loop. The character caught in the loop must find the perfect combination to break out, and once they have escaped the world is as good as they had it before. Yet, not really in this movie. It ended and yet, it had to continue. It left you in one of the worst timelines. Now you end up thinking about the other loops and how dark and desperate those are. Nothing is good and you are left in a worst timeline.
Dark. Like I said.
It couldn’t have been best for us because the current world situation is also the worst timeline, and there’s no time loop to jump back into to find the right set of circumstances to make the best timeline occur. We are all in this loop together forever…
3 of 5 stars.
