Critics Consensus

A gleeful high-concept comedy with a serious message at its core, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die lets Sam Rockwell rip with thrilling results while marking a very welcome return of director Gore Verbinski in peak form.

3.5/5

(It) is a goofy blast of comedic science-fiction that humorously taps into our fear of where technology is dragging us. While perhaps not as edgy, perceptive or funny as it could have been, it is nevertheless a entertaining hodgepodge of other films.

The Travers Take

3.5/4

Sam Rockwell excels as a wild man from the future in Gore Verbinski's deceptively profound satire that holds up a dark mirror to the dangerous game we’re playing with AI. A true film for its time.

A wise and timely treatise on the dangers of modern technology and the need to resist while we still can.

But for as zany as the vignettes are, they are built on similar on-the-nose messaging that’s been better executed by similar movies.

2.5/4

For the first 45 minutes the film has an interesting approach to blending various forms of sci-fi with one brilliant section of satire. Unfortunately the final 90 are repetitive with an overlong climax that dulls the edge it had in the beginning.

Such an amazing movie! Funny, fun, action packed! Sam Rockwell was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! It's like taking an episode of Black Mirror and going more indepth and adding a bit of Ready Player One. I can't wait to see it again!
