The metaphor was as subtle as a club to the forehead

Count me in as someone who missed the club to the forehead. I enjoyed the whole movie, then said to my wife "wow they really went hard on drawing all those parallels to COVID."

My wife nicely informed me that the movie was actually about climate change.

It's mostly about climate change, but I don't think you missed it if you thought Covid.
