Don't Look Up

The movie is ostensibly about a comet about to collide with earth but has been widely accepted as a metaphor for climate change. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as astronomy professor Dr Randall Mindy and Jennifer Lawrence as his student Kate Dibiasky, whose warnings of the devastating comet are not taken seriously.

The film's star studded line up also includes box office favourites Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill and Cate Blanchett.
