I really had no desire to see the movie, because I really had zero idea what it was about from the promos, and nothing in them enticed me to go see it. The AP has some interesting things to say
Movie Review: In ‘Digger,’ a ‘Dr. Strangelove’ for the climate change era
Just as the fate of the world hangs in the balance in “Digger,” Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s over-the-top, climate-disaster satire teeters on the brink.
It’s an audacious plate-spinning act, juggling exaggerated farce, sober anxieties and an oil-mad Tom Cruise. Iñárritu, an art-house showman, has always delighted in a grandiosity of vision: the long-take backstage circus of “Birdman,” the rugged vistas of “The Revenant,” the metaphysical musings of “Bardo.” You come to an Iñárritu movie for swagger, not subtlety.
And “Digger,” — a “Dr. Strangelove” for the climate change era — isn’t trying to mince words. Its desire to make a statement and shake up its audience may be unlikely to find broad critical favor. But there are times to go big. Can you dig it?
But “Digger” is sharper on the other side of tragicomedy. An impassioned provocation aimed at both politicians and audience members, “Digger” is by any measure an uncommon major studio release — as urgent as “An Inconvenient Truth” but a whole lot more operatic. For better or worse, this is an of-the-moment big swing that’s unlikely to come along again anytime soon. (snip)
Meanwhile, Digger begins fielding calls from a massive oil drilling platform in Greenland. A glacier crack and methane leak from the seabed are worrying scientists, but Digger charismatically cajoles them with baseball metaphors. He asks instead for some “hustle” in increasing the daily barrels pumped.
The article seems to be giving the impression that Digger is a climate cult siding movie in the same way that Dr. Strangelove was an anti-nukes/nuclear war movie, highlighting the dangers of global boiling. But, it’s apparently not funny or sarcastic in the way Peter Sellers was. Maybe that’s why the ads didn’t really show what the movie was about. Even climate cultists mostly do not want to see climate scam movies.

In United States v. State of New York, Judge P. Kevin Castel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York held that the Act is preempted both by the Clean Air Act (CAA) and, independently, by the federal government’s exclusive authority over foreign affairs. The Court declared the Act unconstitutional and permanently enjoined New York officials from enforcing it.
