This movie doesn't work tonally. It tries to be both serious and satirical. And it fails to make both of those world work together. In the Idiocracy what made it work is that the satire applied to the whole world except of the main character that we as audience identified with. You explore the boundaries of the new absurd reality with them. There isnt anything like that in Dont Look Up, its a strange mix of our current day reality with crazy illogical morons.
