Downsizing

Post by kgbelliveau »

A super cool concept, scaled down into a minimal plot that was very incoherent and misguided. Matt Damon does not really have much depth to work with so there is very little drama to be created around his character. It also misses on the satire and the none of the characters jump to life because the plot does not advance well. Just an oddity really. A rather cool concept wasted on a very small story when there is obvious potential to be explored. Perhaps a Future Television series?

On a totally new note that I thought of since completing my review for this film; I have been thinking that Matt Damon definitely does not seem to be a name destined to be a box office success anymore. I mean this and Suburbicon both received mixed to negative reviews and did rather poorly at the box office. Is Matt Damon the fault or is it something entirely different?
