>thought it was gonna be "honey i shrunk the kids" wacky little people with every day objects being big now >it's actually an environmental movie about the future threat of global warming, and that's why they shrink people, to consume less CO2
>interesting concept is almost immediately abandoned for mouthpiece on [current issue]
You're both right! What a waste of a good premise. I was expecting a fun weird comedy and got some shit about the planet dying and what, going underground? The frick? Too bad. Maybe someone just picks up the premise and makes a good movie with it one day.
Who cares what point they were trying to make, though? It was sold as a wacky, high-concept comedy, and what they delivered instead was far less interesting:
I've seen a lot of stupid shit, intentionally or otherwise, and I can honestly say that the premise and execution of this movie is profoundly moronic in a way that causes net negativity to the psyche. The seriousness of an environmental agenda coupled with 5 inch tall people in the context of a film with zero jokes or humorous self-awareness is truly baffling.
This movie was the biggest pile of shit I've seen in a long long time. I thought, oh cool, it's a weird sci-fi movie about shrinking yourself. But in reality it's liberal racism and climate change propoganda. Why did they have the asian woman play the most annoying asian stereotype character possible? The actress speaks english perfectly. It was so racist. And that's saying something because I am extremely racist.
>the vietnamese character (not the actress, the character) from this movie has a way too long wikipedia page
that's all I have to to talk about this movie, just that weird fact
I'm confused why no one else is talking about the very racist and obnoxious asian character. She completely took over the movie and was so obnoxious I can only assume the character was meant to be a massive insult to asians everywhere. The movie felt like a smug white liberal saving the brown people because they are so amazing and laughing at the dumb little asian janitor trying to speak english. I couldn't believe how tone deaf this movie was. I hated it, worst thing Matt Damon has ever done.
i've read some reviews and it seems the asian chracter was "so funny" "so real" and "what a strong character that controlled the screen". the level of self awareness is completely absent. i guess you were SUPPOSE to laugh at her
I think those reviews are left by more liberals that don't know what they are supposed to think. They think it would be racist to criticize the character.
The actress said she was basically playing her parents. There are people like that in real life, they tend to be usually first generation immigrants. Even the accent isn't exaggerated, some of them do actually sound like that when speaking English.
I don't see why you'd still have to work once you shrunk down. Everything like food and weed and property would be so fricking small you should be able to retire with a few thousand dollars.
That was addressed in the movie. They spent a decent amount of time on that actually. So I don't know how you missed it. But also, frick this movie it's shit.
Yes even though the main characters were lower middle class they were going to have enough money to retire on as small people. But then his wife chickened out and he ended up with no money, so he had to work.
Yeah, if this guy is five inches tall, that glass must be like a centimeter or two tall. How to you even pour that glass? A dropper of whiskey? What a hassle.
I like the first half of the movie, but it quickly goes off the rails after Christoph Waltz’s house party and it becomes a gay global warming movie and Matt Damon gets stuck in a tiny person favela full of mutts and mongrels
I realize the movie if fiction but couldnt the government pay to build that little ghetto into a nice neighborhood the size of a regular house since theyre doing such good for humanity?
You wouldn't even need the government, you'd think some do-gooder organisation or even person would do it. Giving them a paradise could be created by anyone with a large property and a guy that makes dollhouses.
>Shrink yourself so you use less resources >But you still have the same metabolism so really you would probably still need to same amount of calories, but with a smaller mouth/intestines you wouldn't be able to consume enough mass to avoid starvation >You also probably wouldn't be able to breathe enough oxygen per breath to avoid hypoxia >And you'd probably overheat because you don't have enough surface area to radiate heat >But I guess your starved/burned/asphyxiated corpse takes up less space?
do you take up the same amount of mass but now incredibly dense? cause if you don't and you take up less mass, your brain would be super small, and you'd be moronic. its kinda confusing
Because you still have the same amount of cells, even if they're smaller, you still have the same molecular density simply taking up less space doesn't change that.
tl;dr shrinking/growing to tremendous size doesn't make any logical sense.
Because there's no point or plot. They ham-fisted a global warming thing at the end because I assume the focus groups were confused why they should give a frick people shrunk themselves to live rich lifestyles on the cheap.
Why wasn't it a giantess movie?
I think the subject matter of this movie is a fetish of the producer
Libtard propaganda
>thought it was gonna be "honey i shrunk the kids" wacky little people with every day objects being big now

Never saw it but that's disappointing to read.

Totally missed the point of the movie.
>just follow your own way, stop following others
its boring

this movie made me sick literally. felt good at the start of it felt shit at the end. very bad film in many ways
do you think i could isolate this technology to downsize my penis a bit? it's too big atm.

I did miss the beginning that must be when they explain it
Yes even though the main characters were lower middle class they were going to have enough money to retire on as small people. But then his wife chickened out and he ended up with no money, so he had to work.
why did Matt Damon and his wife have a glass this tiny in their normal size home for their small guest?
he might have brought his own? if i remember right, they also had to shrink stuff so little people could use them
I would just give that guy one drop of vodka he would be wasted
Yeah, if this guy is five inches tall, that glass must be like a centimeter or two tall. How to you even pour that glass? A dropper of whiskey? What a hassle.

one dollhouse maker could as a hobby, make an apartment complex pretty easily out of wood that could house all of them. and make it spacious too.
You wouldn't even need the government, you'd think some do-gooder organisation or even person would do it. Giving them a paradise could be created by anyone with a large property and a guy that makes dollhouses.
Matt Damon makes your dick feel funny.
Matt Damon makes my dick feel funny.

it really should've been a horror comedy
Why would your metabolic requirements not shrink with your size?
do you take up the same amount of mass but now incredibly dense? cause if you don't and you take up less mass, your brain would be super small, and you'd be moronic. its kinda confusing

it has short men in it. REALLY short.
Men need to be AT LEASR 5’11 for me to like them
