It was heavy-handed. But it's the kind of satire that whacks you upside the head because it has to. The message was basically that as a society we are too superficial, self-absorbed and selfish to recognize, let alone do something about, any crisis that confronts us. It wasn't really about specific disaster like climate change or covid, but how we confront them, or not. It stepped on a lot of toes, not just Trumpist disaster-deniers; it came down very hard on bubble-headed media and pop culture types who are interested only in entertainment and social media attention. If you're looking for subtlety you won't find it in this movie, which is both funny and dark. Watch all the way to the very end of the credits, after the logo and the screen goes black. There's a bleakly hilarious little final scene.
