Gen Z portray Millennials in a recreation of the Y2K hysteria that occurred towards the end of 1999. This time, the threat of a looming robot apocalypse is real and the computers start enslaving humanity. It's a weird movie, but not nearly good enough to secure itself as a future cult classic. It tries hard to evoke comedies such as Superbad and This is the End, but fails on all counts. Somehow, it all still feels too safe and sanitized. This is a far cry from the 1999 of my memory. I can't figure out if it's supposed to be bad on purpose because it's trying to imitate a '90s movie, but everything about it feels off, from the awkward casting to the overall tone. SNL's Kyle Mooney (Brigsby Bear) writes and directs. That's probably why the whole thing feels like a bad sketch that goes on for too long.
