Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die review: The best Black Mirror episode in more than a decade

Directed by Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring, Rango) with a script from Matthew Robinson (Love and Monsters), Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die smushes a handful of Black Mirror-esque dystopian tech vignettes into one, mostly coherent narrative. The film’s central story of a time-traveling hero sent to our present to stop an AI apocalypse has extremely unsubtle Terminator influences. But told through the lens of Verbinski’s slapstick sensibilities, Good Luck becomes both wildly original and wildly entertaining, even as it begins to break from reality in a messy final act.
