Y2K Review: Julian Dennison Is The Highlight Of A Messy Sci-Fi Horror Comedy That Loses Its Charm
Y2K will surely find an audience, but the nostalgia and a solid premise aren’t enough to make this a memorable watch.
If you were alive during Y2K, then you know the dreaded switch from 1999 to 2000 was a heavily talked about subject. What would happen to the computers (and us) when the clock struck midnight? Although everything turned out alright in reality, Y2K explores the what if of it all. The first half is wildly fun, especially as it puts characters in the uncomfortable position of being at a party that goes awry shortly after the countdown. But what starts off as a quirky teen comedy with hints of sci-fi catastrophe turns into a messy romp that loses its intrigue.
