Don’t Look Up is Netflix’s latest blockbuster film full of satire and an incredible cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep. The movie tells the story of two scientists trying to convince the world a deadly comet is heading towards Earth. Whilst the film has received mixed reviews one thing that cannot be argued with is how hilarious the Don’t Look Up memes people have been making on Twitter are.

Don’t Look Up was first released on 24th December and has been staying firmly in the top 10 over the last two weeks. It is over two hours long and features Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawerence as scientists who attempt to tell the president, media and celebrities about a deadly comet – only to be met with disbelief and disregard.

It’s meant to be a satire for how our world is currently dealing with the climate crisis aka by burying our heads in the sand. Whilst some have praised the film for its approach others were unimpressed. Easily the most impressive thing about Don’t Look Up was the A-List cast who have been the subject of many memes on Twitter. People have been comparing the cast to TV characters or real life events.
