Director Gore Verbinski’s sci-fi time travel action comedy Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is one of the better movies of the year so far, and it’s now being given a physical media release this week.
Sam Rockwell stars in the film as a man claiming to be from the future, who bursts into a diner to recruit a group of people for a special mission to stop the AI apocalypse. The cast is rounded out by Haley Lu Richardson, Juno Temple, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz and Asim Chaudhry.
Verbinski’s film has a lot going on, but it’s kept entertaining thanks to a manic Rockwell and the rest of the ensemble cast. As I wrote in my original review (which you can read right here), this is “an audacious mix of sci-fi, social satire, action movie and character drama, that finds the filmmaker back in scrappy, imaginative mode.” It’s worth picking up.
Film Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)
Bonus Features (4K Ultra HD):
The Blu-ray only includes one short bonus feature. The package ships with a standard slipcover.
• The Making of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (5 minutes, 7 seconds): This brief but enjoyable featurette finds the cast members talking about their characters and working with director Gore Verbinski to craft this “psychotic opera.”
