Y2K

Reviews

• "Combining the youthful raunchiness of “Superbad,” a detailed nostalgia for the era of video stores and AOL Instant Messenger, this playful sci-fi spectacle splits the difference between early “Stranger Things” and “The Terminator,” with immaculate soundtrack vibes courtesy of Fatboy Slim and Chumbawamba."
  - IndieWire
• "Vibrant and often hilarious––with a surprise appearance by Fred Durst, who becomes a spirit guide to help the kids “break stuff” and save humanity––Y2K is far from perfect, but it does try harder than most comedies in its densely accurate portrait of an era of angst awaiting the nightmares of the 9/11 era."
  - The Film Stage
• "Y2K is a deadly unserious disaster comedy featuring fantastic cyber-monster effects and humor inspired by the time period."
  - IGN
• "Y2K, with all of its cringe-inducing humor and totally buggin’ kills, has heart and a clear devotion to the bit."
  - Austin Chronicle
• "A promising if wildly uneven debut that banks heavily, often successfully, on Mooney’s penchant for late ‘90s nostalgia."
  - Guardian
• "Mooney's film assumes its target audience was alive and aware at the turn of the century, and gears its best jokes accordingly."
  - Slashfilm
• "Armed with a pitch-perfect, game-for-anything ensemble and great practical effects behind the carnage and calamity, Y2K is a party worth rewinding the clock for."
  - Bloody Disgusting
• "Y2K captures the spirit of a bygone era with affection, offering a compelling reflection on our relationship with technology and with each other."
