    this movie sounds like it was written by white rich people to make fun of white rich people for a white rich audience. which is the worst movie genre by far. i feel your pain.

      Spoken like a white rich person watching two white rich people while casually denying being THAT kind of white rich person.

    This sounds like it would have made a good episode of Black Mirror. It wouldn’t have been longer than an hour and absolutely would have contained some fucked up conspiracies. Also it would be set in England.

    They could have done a plot that explored the fact that, if only rich people can afford downsizing, and if most rich people chose to do it, after all it increases their fortune, then they would literally be in the hands of working class people who are left to take care of them, so there would be a reversal in society, where poor people would become the giants who have power, and rich people vulnerable.

      Alexandre Hamada Possi I love this idea.Or if as he downsized then apocalypse happen and so it seem like his wife did not survived and then this movie could be about him and Vietnamese woman and his friend.Like this could have been good concept as well.

All the references Avaryl pulls out every episode of some random movie that only 5 people saw and she knows the director down to the post-production editors is funny. Keep up the good work.

    I just felt annoyed how they turned a great premise (the shrinking of people) into a VERY, VERY confused movie that had no clue what it wanted to be.
    It even finished bizarrely.

  • @ZoraTheberge
    @ZoraTheberge 6 лет назад +7

    Here’s how I would fix the plot, so it’s the future and everyone lives In a cramped dark dirty city so the main couple decide to downsize. It seems too good to be true but it’s a little eerie. So they go for it. Anyways he gets to the small town and it is just the most fabulous suburban place ever. (Film it in Santa Clarita tbh). Everyone is retired and golfs all day and is entertained constantly a la Wall-E (and robots do all the cleaning to fix THAT issue). But this guy is sad that he hasn’t heard from his wife or been able to find her. So he goes to the office to see what’s happened to her and they’re surprised he’s asking. So he begins to poke around and finds that other people who chose to downsize have gone missing but their significant others don’t seem bothered by it at all. Old friends of his don’t even remember the missing people. So he sneaks into the office and discovers that some people’s procedure is intentionally botched and they’re killed so the company can sell their organs/harvest their bodies/whatever and everyone who survives is brainwashed into forgetting they even exist. And so then the top execs in the building (who haven’t been shrunk) realize there’s been a break in and then find out someone’s brainwashing went arwy (But they don’t know who) and that this person knows what’s been going on. So then the guy goes to his friend who’s sig other also went missing but he can’t unbrainwash him. SWAT team pulls up and captures the main guy and the friend hits his head and realized what happened. He then (possibly off camera to cut run time) goes around telling the truth and everyone realizes what happened. Meanwhile the main guy has a final showdown with the evil CEO who isn’t shrunk. Maybe it’s Ian Mckellan. And then eventually the rest of the tiny people storm the office and battle all the top execs but many loose because they’re tiny. Then the last scene is everyone on Earth has shrunk and the company is still in control.

  • @decoydamsel

    I agree that Bryan Fuller would do a great job with this concept, he is really great with making science fiction and fantasy blur with reality and really makes you care about the characters. Plus it actually would have been funny.

    My friends and I went in a group of 12 to see this for a birthday, and came out of it feeling as though we had been in a hypnotic trance the entire time. The only respite was when, 20 minutes before the end, the lights in the cinema suddenly came on. None of us have recovered from seeing 'Matt Damon's Mid-Life Crisis', which is the only title for the move that makes sense, if you can apply the concept of sense to a film that so clearly lacks it

  • @DarkMask6667
    @DarkMask6667 6 лет назад +30

    While I was watching, there was one idea I had. I totally agree with Avaryl that I'm so over the whole white, straight man is on a journey to find himself and will fix everything tropes. Honestly, I would have loved if instead of Matt Damon, how about they cast some up and coming Japanese-American actor in this role? And his backstory could have been something like he grew up in Tokyo where everyone is like one room apartments living on top of each other, so he moved to the US to have more space, but everything is just so expensive if you want a nice house and such, so it likes leads into why he was downsizing because he knows the issues of both being cramped and having to work endlessly to have any sort of space? Plus, it's 2018 and we need more famous actors and actresses who are not just white and black, Asian-American actors and actresses really need more of a footprint in Hollywood.

    First of all, thank you so much for reviewing horrible movies, because I don't see many movies in theaters (because most of them are shit, let's get real), and now I get to pleasantly think about the possible alternate movies that could have been made in place of this heap of trash. Yay!
    But second of all: ANDREW! We refer to animals as "females," we refer to human females as girls, women, or ladies! I absolutely know your heart's in the right place, but if a little linguistic awareness can make women feel less subhuman, I think it's worth at least a thought

    The movie is terrible, but I really enjoyed the cheesiness of the NPH/Laura Dern scene. It was just a sales pitch to show the advantages of becoming small. Also, the purpose (?) of Matt Damon's character is that he was trying to be something more, like a doctor, but he is station is life was to a be caretaker (he took care of his mom until she died, the workers at the plant, his wife, the low income people at the end, etc...) Still ... fuck this movie.

    @desynch6555 4 года назад +1

    This movie is not bad, I can't believe IMDB 5.7 rating lol, I would have expected 6.5-7.0. I think most people are annoyed by the trailer but I watched it before the movie and I did not find it misleading. What were people expecting? A stupid comedy movie? I think this movie was original at least; it took time with explaining downsizing history and it was interesting. Lol I don't even believe in climate change but this was a good adventure. Maybe acting was cheesy in some places but I liked the pimp character of Christoph Waltz lol.
    I don't know I am always fascinated with small people idea since watching Gulliver's Travels (original one) as a kid.

    If you're gonna pay for Matt Damon, why not just go full Jurassic Park with it? This had potential to be the perfect Matt Damon movie. He could've redeemed his failed life by saving the village from this or that giant insect invasion. Or if you wanted to go a little darker, he could help save them from whatever full sized adult inevitably would try to torture and kill them. I think they really missed an opportunity to make a good movie.

  • @QueenMJade89
    @QueenMJade89 6 лет назад +10

    Okay so if I had the opportunity to fix the movie it would be very Pleasantville where it's mostly just rich and upper middle white people who choose to do this for the most part because they want to "Make America Great again" ala 1950s segregated suburbia. Poor people ofc cant afford the original transformation and are slaving away to keep this tiny elite society functioning and safe from the global warming disasters that corporate capitalism created. Eventually an anti-hero cult realizes that they can "dissapear" certain rich tiny people, redistribute their wealth to poorer people, and help solve global hunger with handfuls of deep fried tiny billionaires all at once. Dark but at least interesting. Also it would be 100 minutes long.

    I just watched this movie and came here right after... I found myself fast forwarding multiple times at around 1:45 - the last half hour just spirals into pure cringe. The rest of the movie is just a very boring commentary on Class conflict. I was hoping for a dark comedy set in that mini town, perhaps with external threats or something? ugh, what a waste of an afternoon....
