Downsizing


Downsizing imagines what might happen if, as a solution to over-population, Norwegian scientists discover how to shrink humans to five inches tall and propose a 200-year global transition from big to small. People soon realize how much further money goes in a miniaturized world, and with the promise of a better life, everyman Paul Safranek (Matt Damon) and wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) decide to abandon their stressed lives in Omaha in order to get small and move to a new downsized community — a choice that triggers life-changing adventures.

This movie was pretty disappointing.  I thought it had some pretty decent potential after the trailer.  Unfortunately, the trailer pretty much gave you the entire movie.  I was more than halfway into the movie before seeing anything I wasn't already aware of.  Around then was when Matt Damon met this vietnamese character that really was the only reason worth seeing this.  It was very much not a comedy and much more of a drama which was also disappointing.

I would not really recommend people bothering with this.  It's not awful but it was very disappointing.
