Name a movie with a more wasted premise
>>215569412I can’t. There should have been a scene with a younger shrunken guy massaging a normal sized MILFs feet
>>215569412I need to be tiny 2 inch Matt Damon shoved into Christina Hendricks’ sweaty double GG’s
>>215569412How was it wasted.
>>215569514See above
since the story went into unexpected directions, I think peoples' actual problem with this movie is that it wasn't more simple-minded
>>215569554Nah it wasn’t even fun or clever. It didn’t make use of its premise at all and they never encounter a giant person by accident.
>>215569514the entire film is a >muh immigrantsslopfest and everyone is tiny so after the opening act the entire film plays out basically the same way it would play out if everyone was normal sized
>>215569412im surprised they haven't made a porn parody where tiny microscopic dude enters a vagina
>Honey I shrunk myself for the environmentehhh no thanks
>>215569568It was ocassionally clever though
>>215569572That’s just my nightly wet dreams desu
This is a fun premise but the film manages to be predictable and dull.
>>215569514There should've been a scene where Damon's wife takes a new lover and forces him to watch as she's taken by a real man.
>>215569609>YAAS SAAR ME BEETALES NOW>ME SAX WHITE WOMAN VAGENE SAAR
>>215569514Made a video about it years ago: https://youtu.be/SsjtrnbkJXIIn a nutshell, the film turns into a relationship drama, and then into some eco thing, and the smallness stuff ceases to matter. It's as if the director forgot the premise midway through, or he was trying to smash three different films together.
>>215569583it was occasionally dumb as fuck yeah. Like the idea of that guy making money by cutting luxury items down and selling it to the downsized people, i mean even if you make twice your money on a fine bottle of wine or some cigars, how big is the market supposed to be? So you sell one 2000 Dollar bottle of Champagne to 200 little people and get 4000 dollars out of it, great you made 2000 dollars, now what?
Civil War, one good scene the entire movie and they didn't even touch on the real elements of a potential Civil War that everyone has been fawning over for a decade.
>>215569412Gervais totally wasted The Invention of Lying with his gaythiest shit.
>>215569565Or animals. The tiny ghetto should have been fighting cockroaches.
>>215569672and NONE OF IT MADE SENSE! I mean the basic premise for the downsizing was economic independence on a small budget, now where do the poor immigrants fit into this? You really trying to tell me they couldnt find some relative willing to fork over 15 bucks a month to allow them a decent living in tinyland? Or they couldnt just beg on the internet or something? Get a NGO to pay for them?
>>215569514Movie was a fucking mess
>>215569412i might watch this movie simply because /tv/ keeps calling it a fucking trainwreck that totally underdelivered
>>215569777it basically acts like it got something to say and never says it, probably because it would be stupid anyways.
>>215569412Easy
>>215569412nah you
>>215569741Imagine how much chaos a housefly would cause.
>>215569565This, it meandered into a dead end where I couldn't have cared less about the protagonist, a waste.
>>215569756Yeah, that too. Don't remember it that clearly now, but I remember it was a mess. Preachy, but not even coherently preachy. Wish they'd handed the whole thing over to Mike Judge.
>>215569642Meds
>>215569848What do you wish they'd done with it? Pratt defrosts an entire space harem?
>>215569439Haha
>>215569412Transcendence
>>215569514no vore, no unbirth, no anal insertions, no flattening
>>215569412This is a great film if you're high as a kite
>>215572458Who said anything about defrosting people?Pratt is dead by the end of act 2 and all the women on the ship wake up pregnant at the destination.
>>215569514Whole shrinking premise thrown in the garbage after 40 minutes, then it becomes some lecture on loving immigrants, idk I didn't finish it, even from the beginning they made an interesting premise boring and sterile as fuck.
>>215569609God I hate this movie. What a fucking waste of everything. First off, saar protagonist. Then it fucking goes nowhere. And it's not well-done at all or even clever.
>>215573835Immigrants and climate change, and the end of the world that suddenly happens for no reason? Yep, the entire premise thrown out into the garbage. I thought it was going to be this really interesting comedy about a dude adjusting to living as a tiny person and the various wacky mishaps and adventures this premise could provide. Instead it became globalist leftist horseshit: the movie. Terrible.
>>215569412The director purposefully wasted it because he already had a script for a different movie he wanted to make, but couldnt get funding without shoehorning this gimmick in to basically trick investors and viewers.Based, but also not based because his original script was gay as fuck
>>215569412 There was a sloptuber who made a video about this movie, with a fun little sketch thing and a song that I enjoyed. Then someone in his family died and he stopped making videos forever. You reminded me of it.
Fuck this movie and the misleading trailer and posters.
>>215573734You've given this some thought.
>>215569412The Incredible Shrinking Man was much better
>>215570991>meds
>>215574593There's a French remake in the cinema at the moment, hopefully it keeps all the sex stuff from the book.
>>215569455Commies understood how to make tiny men movie
>>215574909God she was hot as fuck
>>215569848Good pick. Another movie that literally becomes a different, more boring and dumber version of itself in its second half.It doesn't crumble so badly like Downsizing, but it's a good example
>>215569439Literally stroking my shit at the thought of this
>>215575199It's my favourite fantasy
>>215569412mickey 17
>>215574295Was that the lobster guy who killed his brother?
>>215569439First post best post
it’s a criticism of the green movement
>>215569609I think the premise also sucked
Payne is at his best with normal stories like sideways and the holdovers.
>>215576782WHACK HIM!
>>215569412kangaroo jack
>>215569734Way too heavy handed and smug. There are some pretty funny bits in that movie, but ultimately it feels like a series of comedy sketches with "invisible man in the sky" atheism and bland characters.
