Colonizers

In the tragic hilarious and eminently watchable movie Mickey 17 the invasion of a planet and the attack on the superintelligent native species (dismissively labelled "critters") is best exemplified by the capture of a baby critter by the humans. The curiosity for interspecies understanding is limited to, well, cutting off the tail of the said critter, putting it in a blender, and then saying "what sauce does this best go with?"

Irreverent, wildly unpredictable, and in the end hopefully, Mickey 17 is an original movie that traverses sci fi, humour, dystopia - and holds well
