Review of Downsizing (2017) by Solitas777 — 16 Mar 2018
What a piece of crap. The first 50 minutes is decent. Matt Damon is an occupational therapist, who wants the good life. He's struggling with life and he's going through the hum drum of daily grind. There is no joy in this man's life, there are no smiles, just the world weariness of the unending grind. Downsizing, a process that allows people to get small and live a higher standard of life on the cheap. Throughout this process, is his passionless wife, a cutesy (but not pretty) plain jane, who abandoned him after he goes through the process. Now...this would be the perfect time and vehicle for the story to transition to a guy that only know mediocrity to find fun and passion in his life. A sex love story could have been introduced here with a happily ever after.
NOPE. There is a divorce where a guy that had $150000 assets, which equals $12.5 million dollars in the "little world". After a divorce he works at a call center and loses his awesome mansion with a crappy apartment. I feel like their math is bad because even if he kept 10% of the money after his divorce he's still have over a million dollars, so what gives? This movie is slow and boring. I won't bore you because once it transitions to his life post divorce it slowed down to a crawl. In fact, it's so boring I can't even continue to review it. This piece of garbage isn't even worth putting any more effort into.
