Review of Downsizing (2017) by Greatgobblin — 06 Jan 2018
From The Bourne Identity to the The Boring Identity there is literally nothing redeeming about Damon or Downsizing aside from the basic concept. If you watch the trailer for this movie it promises you a fun, comedic jaunt about the trials and tribulations of being small in a big world.
What you ended up with is a long-winded, boring guilt trip about being human and destroying the planet. I'm not sure how this movie was even listed as a comedy, as I can't recall a single laughable moment throughout the whole film.
Everything from the storyline, to the dialogue, to the on-screen performances, felt like the cinematic equivalent of a valium induced coma. If you are considering seeing this movie, do yourself a favour, go down to the pet store, buy yourself a goldfish, and watch it swim around in its bowl for 2 hours.
It will be far more entertaining and far less depressing.
