A new world of possibilities awaits, thanks to a revolutionary medical procedure known as Downsizing. Billed as environmentally-friendly, many people choose to downsize for economic benefits.

When the kindly occupational therapist, Paul, undergoes the new procedure, finding himself in this brand-new existence, he must choose between a sheltered life or making an impact in his own small way.

Can he help save the planet and afford a nice lifestyle at the same time? If you came to see this movie because of the trailer or because of curiosity of what a world would be like if you were 5 inches instead of 6 feet, then you paid for about 45 minutes.

The other hour and a half is a completely different movie that has minimal to do with downsizing and is not what the trailer suggests. All Titles TV Episodes Celebs Companies Keywords Advanced Search.

What really carries it is the characters. Everyone in this world is developed and real and I liked spending time with them. The movie asks you to go to some strange places, but I didn't mind, because I enjoyed the people I was with.

It's not a perfect movie, but it's got some interesting things to say, and I found the journey an enjoyable one. Michael M Super Reviewer.

Oct 23, Matt Damon teams up with Alexander Payne for the satirical political comedy Downsizing. To solve the problem of overpopulation a group of scientists develop a procedure to shrink a person to 5 inches and launch a series of small communities, which soon attracts middle-aged physical therapist Paul Safranek who seeks to escape his boring workaday life.

Co-starring Kristen Wiig and Christoph Waltz, the cast isn't too bad; but only Waltz really gives a performance.

And the film pulls a bait-and-switch, as it never gets into life in the small communities or the larger social effects that they would have on the world.

The script is poorly written, going everywhere and nowhere; touching on a lot of issues but never exploring them.

Also, the comedy is downplayed for most of the film. Unfocused and rather pointless, Downsizing doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.

Dann M Super Reviewer. Oct 17, The premise and the believable set-up for the impossible are really well done. You can't help but be excited about where the film might run with that idea.

Unfortunately, it almost comes to a stop after the first act, bathing in its own misery for a while. The appearance of the wonderful Hong Chau turns things around.

She steals every scene she's in and her character is an absolute delight. You also can't blame the film for taking the easy way out, it does end up surprising you over again.

The Norway scenes are almost as fantastic as visiting the shire. In the end, I can't blame people for being disappointed, but I applaud the film for trying to be something different and unlike anything you've seen before.

Gotta appreciate that. Jens S Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie.
