Adapted from the novel by Edward Ashton, Mickey 7 is a Sci-Fi film that follows Mickey 17 (Robert Pattinson) and his journey to the ice world Niflheim to colonize the planet. Mickey 17 is an “expendable” employee to be used and thrown away after completing their task - often a dangerous one - but when one iteration of Mickey dies, he is reborn in a new body with a large portion of his memories still intact. After six deaths, however, Mickey finally begins to understand the job and why it was always an unfilled position.
Despite the behind-the-scenes discord, however, themovie opened to mostly positive reviews.
It sits at a “fresh” 78% approval rating on the aggregator websiteRotten Tomatoes.
