Wrecking the Millennium: A24's Y2K
Millennial Apocalypse Comedy Trailer Reveal: Y2K Movie Preview
Ditch the champagne and party hats, because New Year's Eve 1999's gonna be far from cheerful in Kyle Mooney's cold-hearted, darkly comical take, Y2K. This sci-fi horror comedy stars the young guns of the industry - Rachel Zegler (West Side Story), Jaeden Martell (It), and Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2) - as they stumble upon the last night that humanity knew, only to witness the beginning of the end.
As the clock strikes twelve, technology falters, and formerly trusty devices start wreaking havoc across the globe. Caught between the relentless claws of rogue VHS tapes, escaped Tamagotchis, and a plethora of outdated goodies, our heroes must scramble for salvation amidst the chaos, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to reclaim humanity from the jaws of oblivion.
Brace yourselves for an explosive journey through the smoke and mirrors of 90s nostalgia tainted by a dystopian twist. Y2K serves up mouthfuls of witty sarcasm, societal panic surrounding the Y2K bug, and the apocalyptic consequences of technology run amok, enriched by appearances from Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and Alicia Silverstone.
Released earlier this year at South by Southwest, Y2K met with a moderate response, currently sitting at 60% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some critics hailed it as a riveting and unique production, while others faltered at its inconsistent tone and missed opportunities in character development.
Despite its mixed reviews, Y2K will hit theaters on December 6, giving audiences the chance to experience the madness for themselves and decide whether this chaotic escapade deserves a place in their hearts or the recycle bin of misfires.
