Leo’s character basically betrayed J Law’s


The movie was okay, not great and not terrible. But one thing that bugs me that no one else has brought up is how Leo’s character basically betrayed Jennifer Lawrence’s by being the main face of the media tours after she got a sort of gag order, not defending her against those terrible hosts and then sleeping with the bitchy anchor...

Yes he eventually also lost his cool on the show and had his own “wake up” moment, but his character was really inconsistent between caring about the comet’s impact and falling in line with the selfishness/causal attitude of the rest of the world. Big difference from the anxious and thoughtful astronomer we were introduced to.

Not quite.

He was always shy and a pushover. And it's used to show how easy is for us to fall in line.
