You can now take a trip to the planet Niflheim at home and watch a whole bunch of Robert Pattinsons act as human crash test dummies in Mickey 17. Bong Joon Ho's follow-up to Parasite, which made history as the first international film to win Best Picture at the Oscars, serves as another genre-bending adventure with a cutting political message.

Along for the trip, aside from a bunch of Pattinsons, are Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice), Steven Yeun (Love Me), Mark Ruffalo, and Toni Collette. If you missed it in theaters, you can now watch the darkly comedic cross-genre gem Mickey 17at home. Here's what you need to know.

What is Mickey 17about?

Inspired by Edward Ashton’s genre-bending sci-fi novel Mickey7, Mickey 17follows Mickey Barnes (Pattinson), who works as an "expendable" so scientists can figure out how to colonize the strange new planet Niflheim. Being an "expendable" basically just means he's killed over and over again like a human guinea pig and then reprinted (like 3D printing for clones) when things go astray. When two Mickeys unexpectedly wake up on the same day, the whole system is thrown out of whack, leading the ship's corporate overlords (Collette and Ruffalo) to violent means. Suddenly, it's up to the Mickeys and their allies to survive and stop a class war on their new planet.

Is Mickey 17worth watching?

Mickey 17opened with $19 million, which doesn't seem too bad until you account for the fact that it cost $118 million to make. In other words, it was a box office dud and lost a good chunk of change for Warner Bros. And yet, the film has pretty dang good reviews. It sits at a 77 percent critic rating and 73 percent audience rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and Mashable's own reviewer, Kristy Puchko, spoke highly of it.

"The journey Mickey goes on is winding and wild, bucking the conventional flow of a sci-fi action movie, by being only gently sci-fi and barely action. Instead, Mickey 17 plays as a political comedy with cross-genre flair, ultimately urging the audience to see the similarities, and perhaps find our own inner Mickey 17," she writes.

Moral of the story? Box office numbers don't tell the whole story. Also, you can never have too many Robert Pattinsons.
