Synopsis:
Before the asteroid, we let ourselves be defined by labels:The athlete, the outcast, the slacker, the overachiever.But then we all looked up and everything changed.They said it would be here in two months. That gave us two months to leave our labels behind. Two months to become something bigger than what we'd been, something that would last even after the end.Two months to really live.
Misfit Review:
Many times, I find contemporaries tiring and repetitive in
formula, while some just go beyond my expectations. We All Looked Up proved
that it will definitely go beyond my expectations indeed, but it did bring up
some casualties.
So the plot goes around as an apocalyptic few months left
for the world because an asteroid called Ardor is going to fall from the sky
and presents distress among people, especially the focus of the story, the
teens in Seattle, who try to make the coming of the end worthwhile by throwing
a party and making sure that they didn’t leave the world with any regrets.
