A gleeful high-concept comedy with a serious message at its core, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die lets Sam Rockwell rip with thrilling results while marking a very welcome return of director Gore Verbinski in peak form.

It’s kind of a mess, but it’s specifically Verbinski’s mess and that makes for a propulsively chaotic ride.

I can’t remember seeing a film that espoused ideas and beliefs with which I agreed wholeheartedly (social media is evil and we’re all going to die) while simultaneously boring me stupid.

This starts strong but doesn’t always have the room to explore all the ideas it crams in, even with a lengthy running time. Still, Rockwell’s man-on-a-mission is a delight.

["Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die"] is an ecstatic, wonderfully weird spectacle and a startlingly dark take on a bleak cyberpunk future.

[A] bonkers movie ... that plays with our expectations of how effects-driven sci-fi/fantasy movies work ... the mundane dystopianism of "Black Mirror."

One of those weird movies where the plot is all within itself and has sub themes throughout the movie . If you can keep up, great movie .

this was one of the most bonkers and reality-bending movies I've seen in a while, had no idea where it was going and it kept me engaged until the very end. I think it will one day become a cult classic and looked back on fondly, especially for the way it explores technology, AI and our algorithmic hellscape. Sam Rockwell and the rest of the cast are hilarious, it's pretty awesome this movie exists at all tbh

Probably the worst movie I have ever sign. Ridiculous storyline hard to follow plot incongruent scenes. If you want I movie that is meaningless, this is the movie to see

A delightfully strange and original take on this conceivable future for mankind. Definitely not your typical Hollywood movie that’s usually predictable. One man from the future must recruit a small group of strangers to save us from ourselves.
