Miss Earth

About This Movie

So, 'Miss Earth' (2014) is this quirky blend of comedy and sci-fi that really plays with the absurdity of beauty pageants in a galactic context. You’ve got Victoria Young thrown into this wild competition where the stakes are literally planetary survival. The tone is a bit off-kilter; it’s lighthearted but with those underlying serious themes about overpopulation and environmental issues. The pacing can be a little uneven, bouncing between zany humor and moments that feel more poignant. The practical effects are charmingly low-budget, adding to that unique indie vibe. Performances vary, but there’s an earnestness that gives it character. It’s distinctive for its premise and what it tries to say, even if it doesn’t always land perfectly.
