Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is neither lucky nor fun ... although it might make you want to play dead for at least a few minutes.

4/5

It is grippingly unpredictable – a film with a glint in its eye and smoke curling from its nostrils and underpants. But you dismiss it, or miss it, at your peril.

3/5

It’s ideologically flawed, structurally jumbled, and a little too enamoured by its dystopian predecessors. But it’s also sort of wonderfully personal, cranky and spiked -- like an affronted hedgehog trying to repeatedly ram your shin.

The film requires patience, but the result is a powerful reflection on responsibility, choice, and the fragile connections between our actions over time.

...the back stories of each are more compelling than the film’s ultimate premise of saving the world from itself. So good luck to all you viewers, and have fun. The “don’t die” part is not worth dying for.

I very much doubt that AI could come up with something as inventively original as this.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die takes you on one crazy-ass ride and manages to keep you entertained throughout it’s entirety while also warning the audience of the dangers of artificial intelligence and the future we could unknowingly be heading towards. This felt like a two hour-long Black Mirror episode and I mean that in a good way. So many great comedic moments and dialogue that actually made me laugh at loud. I thought each character had their purpose and moment to shine. Some standout performances are Sam Rockwell and Michael Pena. The most intriguing aspect of the movie is its commentary on the society we live in today and just how reliant we are on technology, but more importantly just how dangerous the world has become for our youth. School shootings have become so common and much more prominent in a child’s everyday life and the way the film touches on that is very interesting. Hope this does well at the box office and gets the recognition it deserves. If you’re reading this and haven’t seen it, please go do so!!

Completely insane plot. You won’t know where it’s gonna go or how it’s gonna end. You’ll love every minute of it, and come out thinking about how awful AI is.

Might be the greatest movie ever written, but that’s just my humble opinion. It’s also my humble opinion that anyone who didn’t like it needs to learn to have fun.

At times very dark sci-fi action comedy with some extremely relevant/relatable messages/imagery, emotion, and committed performances
