The Electric State

Mickey 17 (2025) is a science-fiction comedy from Bong Joon-ho, ready to watch online on iFILM. Robert Pattinson stars as an "Expendable" — a colony worker who signs away his body to be reprinted again and again, memories intact, and sent on jobs no one else will survive.

Mickey dies of radiation, toxins and botched trials, then wakes the next morning as a fresh copy with the same mind. The grim routine breaks down when the latest Mickey learns that the previous one never actually died, leaving two of him aboard the same ship.

The cast is deep: Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo as the preening leader of the expedition. The director of Parasite again blends sharp class satire with full-scale genre spectacle, asking what a worker is worth when he can simply be remade.

A bleak space-survival setup curdles into a savage comedy about a system that finds it cheaper to print a new person than to protect the old one. Watch online on iFILM.
