You can now take a trip to the planet Niflheim at home and watch a whole bunch of Robert Pattinsons act as human crash test dummies in Mickey 17. Bong Joon Ho's follow-up to Parasite, which made history as the first international film to win Best Picture at the Oscars, serves as another genre-bending adventure with a cutting political message.
Along for the trip, aside from a bunch of Pattinsons, are Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice), Steven Yeun (Love Me), Mark Ruffalo, and Toni Collette. If you missed it in theaters, you can now watch the darkly comedic cross-genre gem Mickey 17at home. Here's what you need to know.
Inspired by Edward Ashton’s genre-bending sci-fi novel Mickey7, Mickey 17follows Mickey Barnes (Pattinson), who works as an "expendable" so scientists can figure out how to colonize the strange new planet Niflheim. Being an "expendable" basically just means he's killed over and over again like a human guinea pig and then reprinted (like 3D printing for clones) when things go astray. When two Mickeys unexpectedly wake up on the same day, the whole system is thrown out of whack, leading the ship's corporate overlords (Collette and Ruffalo) to violent means. Suddenly, it's up to the Mickeys and their allies to survive and stop a class war on their new planet.
Check out the official trailer:
Mickey 17opened with $19 million, which doesn't seem too bad until you account for the fact that it cost $118 million to make. In other words, it was a box office dud and lost a good chunk of change for Warner Bros. And yet, the film has pretty dang good reviews. It sits at a 77 percent critic rating and 73 percent audience rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and Mashable's own reviewer, Kristy Puchko, spoke highly of it.
"The journey Mickey goes on is winding and wild, bucking the conventional flow of a sci-fi action movie, by being only gently sci-fi and barely action. Instead, Mickey 17 plays as a political comedy with cross-genre flair, ultimately urging the audience to see the similarities, and perhaps find our own inner Mickey 17," she writes.
Moral of the story? Box office numbers don't tell the whole story. Also, you can never have too many Robert Pattinsons.

As a Warner Bros. Pictures film, Mickey 17 will officially make its streaming debut on HBO Max, the Warner Bros.-owned streaming service. Beginning on May 23, audiences can travel to the icy planet Niflheim from their living rooms.
HBO Max subscriptions begin at $9.99 per month, but there are a few different ways you can save some money on your plan. Peep the best HBO Max streaming deals below.
The cheapest monthly Max subscription (Basic with ads) goes for $9.99, but opting for an annual subscription brings that cost down to just $8.33 per month. You'll have to pay $99.99 up front for the year, but ultimately you'll save about 16% compared to a monthly plan.
Similarly, you can save 16% on a yearly ad-free plan — now dubbed Max Standard and Max Premium. The standard tier will run you either $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year (about $14.16 per month), while the Premium tier costs either $20.99 per month or $209.99 per year (about $17.50 per month). Both tiers offer an ad-free viewing experience, but the Premium tier comes with 4K Ultra HD video quality, Dolby Atmos immersive audio, and the ability to download more offline content.
Cricket customers on the $60 per month unlimited plan can enjoy HBO Max with ads for free. When logging into HBO Max, just choose Cricket as your provider and enter your credentials to log in. Voilà — you're in.
Getting streaming services for free is getting harder and harder to come by. That's why we love this DoorDash collaboration with HBO Max so much. Sign up for DoorDash's annual DashPass plan for $96 per year ($8 per month) and you'll get a free Max Basic subscription (with ads) on top of the other DashPass perks. You'll have to activate your Max subscription through your DoorDash account to get started.
College students looking to check out Mickey 17 and other Warner Bros. films can access the entire Max library for a year for half price. Just verify your student status with UNiDAYS, retrieve the unique discount code, and sign up for just $4.99 per month rather than $9.99.
Consolidate your spending and streaming by subscribing to the Disney+ bundle, which includes Disney+, Hulu, and Max, for only $16.99 per month with ads. That lineup of streamers (with ads) would usually cost you $25.97 per month, so you'll end up saving about $9 each month. If you'd rather go ad-free, it'll cost you $29.99 per month as opposed to $48.97. That's up to 38% in savings for access to all three streaming libraries.
