Y2K

Combining the youthful raunchiness of “Superbad,” a detailed nostalgia for the era of video stores and AOL Instant Messenger, this playful sci-fi spectacle splits the difference between early “Stranger Things” and “The Terminator,” with immaculate soundtrack vibes courtesy of Fatboy Slim and Chumbawamba.

When Mooney is in joke mode, sprinting from gag to gag without room to breathe, Y2K is a great time at the movies: a midnight movie in the truest sense of the word.

Beyond the ‘90s references, Y2K is an underwhelming, but mostly entertaining movie that never quite goes as far as it should with its concept, comedy, or the relationships between its characters.

The big sequence where the year 2000 hits and everything from a toaster to a Tamagotchi goes homicidal is a chaotic blast, but once the film shifts into a broader comic gear, it never quite finds its heart again.

Y2K should mark the beginning of Kyle Mooney’s film auteurism, but his funnier instincts and command of human vulnerability have been replaced by weak jokes, weak characters, and a weak storyline.

Even at just over 90 minutes, it quickly runs out of steam and can only coast along.

It fails on pretty much every level.

Um filme com uma ótima nostalgia e vibe anos 2000,mais sinceramente,tem uma comédia bem desnecessária em alguns trechos e a história não foi algo que me prendeu muito a atenção do meio para o final,oque no começo tinha prendido,oque mais salvou para mim nesse filme foi a nostalgia e as ótimas atuações.

It's Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit.Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' (What?)Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' (Come on)Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' (Yeah)Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'

The 90s nostalgia in Y2K really stands out, with a cool soundtrack and plenty of throwback moments for sure, the intentionally crappy 90s computer visual that are well recreate, fine performances, and that's about it i guess for what stands out the most in Y2K, the story feels really underdeveloped, the 90s cheesiness is there, though it's hard to tell if it's intentional or just an awkward attempt at serious scenes, it's computer "AI" apocalypse at its best, unfortunately the execution falls short, even in this really well made looking film, A24 production was no kidding and surely they have the style for the film, it just the story and the characters development that lacks, give it more runtime and more depth to it, Y2k could be something more, i don't hate the film, but it lacks some of the most critical elements needed to make it truly memorable.

Y2K classic project from A24. Cheap, primitive and predictable. In the first 5 minutes it becomes clear which project you sat down to watch and immediately it becomes clear that you are not even facing B-trash, but something easier. And you either turn it off right away and forget about it or watch it purposefully. Sometimes trash can be so bad that it's even good. But Y2K is not the case. Yes, it's not the worst cast, but the script is as illogical and stupid as possible, everything is terribly shot and the film looks worse than some short films on YouTube, shot for a pack of crackers. Do you like A24 projects? I don't condemn, very often their projects are underestimated. But Y2K clearly does not belong to them. I don't advise anyone to waste time on this.

Simply put, this was one helluva awful movie that only got worse as it went along
