This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I slept in the middle of the movie. Not grasping what I'm suppose to be getting waste of time, money and good actors.

Despite the bad reviews I actually thought that Downsizing was a very funny film. The satire was aimed at modern society - race, segregation, wealth inequality etc. The film is actually very relevant. Its also one of the most original and abstract comedies of recent years. It is defnitealy more unique and original than some of Alexander Paynes other films, such as About Schmidt and Descendants. Once again he prooves himself as extremely reliable. I would still mantain the opinion that he has never made a bad film.My only real qualm with this film would be the acting, particulay Christoph Waltz's overacted crazy neighbour. Matt Damon is reliably normal as always but his character is actually quite boring, which is for the purpose of the satire. Hong Chau won every scene and was by far the most enjoyable character to watch. In general, I really liked this film. 8/10

This movie had the fortune of dealing with an interesting and unique plot that almost stood out from its crowd and made everyone intreagued by the time the first trailer was released; but sadly, the fIlm wasn't exactly able to put this premise to good use and the result is a mediocre film, longer than what it was supposed to be with a variety of non compelling and non amusing scenes that make you leave the theater disappointed and bored. Albeit, the movie still had some pros like the famous actors, eventhough at some points their performances made it look like even they were bored with the plot, the special effects and the sets and sceneries of the movie. This is one of those movies that we will easily forget as time passes.

I was intrigued when I first saw the trailer, and I told myself:" man, this is in my must-watch list of the year". I had my hope high, despite the rating was quite poor. But once the movie started, I had a sense of the direction of the movie going, it wouldn't be great. And boy, I was right. There was barely any development or depth for most of the characters. This movie, it tried to be so much more, more than it can ever hold itself. It was 2h 15mins, and I felt like it was eternal. It was taking itself too seriously. There is not a single laughing scene. It was trying to be scientific, trying to be inspirational, to create awareness, and it was trying too hard it turns out very bad. But the production team, the writing team, they barely have anything scientific knowledge or did any in depth research. The expository scene was all done is dialogues and they are all draggy. It does make me think a little, but the way it was executed was quite boring to be honest. Frankly, I would take the comedic approach for this movie, make a lighthearted film. Focus more on the main character, Paul and explore his backstory (probably begin the movie with his childhood), make the viewers understand his intention, motivation and reasons of action. Exposition would be minimized and done as a news/commercial ads in the film. Make a not-so-serious film but prompt viewer's thinking.Like the concept, unsure the direction, loathe the execution
