Peter Travers The Travers Take 16h
3.5/4
Sam Rockwell excels as a wild man from the future in Gore Verbinski's deceptively profound satire that holds up a dark mirror to the dangerous game we’re playing with AI. A true film for its time. Go to Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News 16h
B+
At two hours and 15 minutes, "Good Luck" is too long, and it goes a bit haywire in its wayward third act. But this is a movie stuffed with ideas and a lot to get off its chest, and it was never going to not be a bit messy in its execution. Go to Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian 17h
3/5
Even if much of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is in need of a rethink, it’s hard not to enjoy the scrappy, animated brainstorm taking place in front of us. The mess of it all is at least a very human one. Go to Full Review Dana Han-Klein We're Watching What?! 2h
3.9/5
A terrifying and brilliant cautionary tale that's anchored by a phenomenal performance from Rockwell (and strong work from the rest of the cast). While it could be about 20 minutes shorter it's still an original blast of a film worth seeing. Go to Full Review Kevin Sampson Picture Lock 3h
B-
Verbinski and Whitaker paint a picture of a pretty world that doesn’t realize how ugly it is. That’s what resonates and translates. Society never gets to a bad place overnight. It’s the slow burn into apathy that gets us there. Go to Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) 8h
3.5/5
The film delivers a strangely wonderful comedic sci-fi adventure that doesn’t always fire on all cylinders but is endearing nonetheless. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

pickles 4h Beautiful, artful cinema. A humorous absurdist mirror held to a possible near future. Truly one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. See more anthony 6h glimpse of AI future if we ignore social media & next generation that grows with it!!! See more Derrick 8h Great original movie. Sam Rockwell nailed his role. See more Sarah N 9h Great action movie! What an adventure! See more Gregg P 11h I was surprised at how good this movie was with a funny and sad commentary on our current times and where we’re headed. Sam Rockwell and the rest of the cast were excellent and so was Gore Verbinski as director. See more Marc M 11h Smart, dark, funny dystopian story about a rag tag group trying to stop an ai ruined future. Sam Rockwell consistently picks thought provoking material that also entertains, and this film is no exception See more Read all reviews
