DOWNSIZING is sort of a medium level of interesting. And I guess that’s just damning with faint praise. It might make you examine your life a bit but probably not take any action because of it.
The idea is that they’ve found a way to shrink humans down to about 5 inches tall. That way, we’d consume and pollute less and thereby possibly save the planet.
The incentive to undergo the procedure is that your big-world money goes a long way in small-world. If you liquidate your assets, you could buy a dollhouse-sized mansion and have enough cash leftover to live on for the rest of your life. But unintended consequences ensue. I found watching those consequences unfold a medium level of interesting.
I give it a mild recommendation, especially if you’re going to see a bunch of movies over the holiday season. But if your viewing time or budget is limited, there’s better stuff out there to see instead.
