It’s a dumb movie because the central metaphor doesn’t work, the asteroid is easily comprehensible, the act of mitigating it involves minimal visible tradeoffs for the average person, and it impacts everyone equally, none of which are true about climate change.

The real divide here is simply that a certain type of "media literate" person hates that kind of obvious, on the nose satire.
Liberal voters love to imagine there’s some corporation they can regulate to solve every complex social problem.
Quite literally a failure to read theory
I put this movie into the "idiocracy" bucket. Yes it was smug and ham fisted but I still enjoyed it.
My actual take is that he movie was Okay. Some of the satire landed and it had a decent number of funny moments. The central premise was silly but that was also sort of the point.
