Critics Consensus

A gleeful high-concept comedy with a serious message at its core, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die lets Sam Rockwell rip with thrilling results while marking a very welcome return of director Gore Verbinski in peak form.

3.5/5

(It) is a goofy blast of comedic science-fiction that humorously taps into our fear of where technology is dragging us. While perhaps not as edgy, perceptive or funny as it could have been, it is nevertheless a entertaining hodgepodge of other films.

3.5/4

Sam Rockwell excels as a wild man from the future in Gore Verbinski's deceptively profound satire that holds up a dark mirror to the dangerous game we’re playing with AI. A true film for its time.

A sharp, impressively executed film with truly great moments. The overall narrative doesn't quite measure up to the witty commentary and interesting vignettes presented throughout. Still a very fun, quirky flick that's sure to resonate with people.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die...blends comedy, action, and a sci-fi dystopia into something designed for the moment we are living through.

The first act is brilliant cinema, full of intrigue and phenomenal performances... then it pushes the envelope on the peculiar going into the next few acts and it's really up to the viewer to determine if it went a tad too far.

I think the story was really all over the place and it relies on a lot of cheesy gimmicks to get a laugh. I think it’s great to watch in a movie theater but if I was watching this on my phone, I would have quit.

I thought it was good but didn't quite hit the mark for it to be considered great.
