I really enjoyed this. In the past I discounted Robert Pattinson's skills because of the awful "Twilight" films but I have come around. He's a consistently great and entertaining actor and he lends those skills to MICKEY 17.

Just saw it and while it was a little predictable, I really enjoyed it! Robert Pattinson was did an amazing job with the different versions of Mickey.

Definitely my thoughts. It was fun if a little unremarkable and predictable. Pattinson was very good.

Saw this a few nights ago. I liked it a lot. Robert Pattinson did a great job making each Mickey feel like a distinct character. Naomi Ackie also did well as Nasha (loved her cursing out Marshall) I continue to enjoy Bong Joon Ho - both his storytelling voice and his big swings.

Finally saw it tonight. I hereby apologize to Robert Pattinson for any mean thing I said because of Twilight. This guy has RANGE.

Kudos to this movie for not making Nasha the Disposable Black Girlfriend and having their relationship be genuine love and not have 17 hook up Kai when he thought Nasha preferred 18 over him.

The nightmare fakeout at the end was unnecessary but other than that I loved it.
