Plus an Ariana banger, apparently quite improvised.

Gods that movie was so depressing. At least I can live peacefully knowing I won't die of a bronteroc attack.

One of the least realistic parts of that movie was the Elon stand-in character actually being semi-competent. Real Elon will never get you to a different planet where you can die from a bronteroc and his AI isn't able to predict shit.

I really wish people would stop spreading the rumor that Don't Look Up is a movie. It's a documentary just like Office Space. Please stop spreading this rumor.

That movie was satire commentary of its time, while at the same time an unfortunate depressing prophecy.
