I watched this without knowing anything except satire and comet hit. My impression was a vague scattershot satire at the Zeitgeist of our times that as a hit and miss glancing weakly funny comedy with no bite neither plausible enough to take seriously or nor absurd enough to rise to comedic heights.
Imagine my surprise when reading it was supposed to be satire specifically of climate change. First, a comet is a terrible analogy for climate change. Secondly, Dr. Strangelove, the masterpiece of global destruction does not use an analogy, it goes for the jugular and satirizes it's target directly.
It's got big budget, A list talent but most of that is wasted. Unless you are starved for satire about the current times and will tolerate C grade material from A listers, skip it.
