DOWNSIZING Official Trailer #1 [HD] Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau

Very much a movie of 2 halves. The first half is an interesting, funny and thoughtful look at what 'downsizing' is and its implications and seemed to set up what could have been an excellent movie.

However, the second half goes off at a tangent and starts to explore something completely different - and not in a good way. The whole second half has little reference to the titular 'downsizing' concept and whole sections could have been cut out of it without affecting the movie.

Left me feeling disappointed as it could have been very good. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

ParkingtonLane 22 December If you came to see this movie because of the trailer or because of curiosity of what a world would be like if you were 5 inches instead of 6 feet, then you paid for about 45 minutes.

The other hour and a half is a completely different movie that has minimal to do with downsizing and is not what the trailer suggests.

TimmyX1 27 December I just watched two bad movies seamed together at around the half hour mark. The "Down Sizing" movie we all saw in the trailers ended around 30 minutes into the film; it would have been nice to see where that story could have gone.

I think Matt and Kristin could have made a funny film together if it stuck to what the trailers were eluding too.

The second story-line, starting about half an hour in, had no relevance to the characters being small.

Instead, it jumped from Matt's experimentation with drugs to Global Warming so fast that I found myself in shock that I'm suddenly watching a feature with absolutely no plot.

When the end finally did come, the final scene was as empty as the entire movie. From Sideways, to Nebraska, to The Descendants, and even Paris, je t'aime, I've pretty much loved everything that I've seen from director Alexander Payne, making Downsizing one of my most anticipated films of Having heard so little about the film aside from its concept, I went into the screening fairly cold.

Sadly, the film doesn't have a whole lot more to offer than its brilliant concept and exceptional first act. I must admit that I left feeling disappointed, thinking they could've made this a better movie in many ways.

When a film has so much promise and doesn't exactly deliver on much of it, I feel as though many people would be let down by that.

Here is why I believe everyone should see Downsizing, despite it being slightly too mediocre as a final product. In this dramedy, which also in part a social satire of its own genre, Downsizing follows a couple who believes their lives would be better if they were to shrink themselves and be transferred to a new world called Leisureland.

This place exists to conserve the Earth and save the environment, by these shrunken people needed much fewer resources.

With multiple meanings to the title, this is a concept that sounds incredible on paper but doesn't exactly translate into that great of a movie.

Throughout the first act, I found myself immersed in this world and couldn't wait to be taken on its journey, but I soon found myself losing interest when political and religious elements began to take over.

This is a movie that could've done so much more with its premise. Without giving anything away, there are many characters that come in and out of this film in a heartbeat, pretty much leaving them in the dust, when in reality they were actually interesting and added a layer to the overall story.

It felt as though Alexander Payne wanted to focus so much on the idea of the Downsizing concept, that he sidelined quite a few characters along the way.

His films have always been about characters, and while Paul Matt Damon and Ngoc Hong Chau share some great chemistry throughout this film, it's hard not to wish that all of the characters throughout the first act were present throughout the entire film.

This was a very curious issue I had while watching and definitely upon reflection. As soon as you're brought into this other world that has been built for those who shrunk themselves over the years, you will find yourself kind of transfixed at how interesting the visuals are and how well the comedic aspects come into play, but what you don't expect is for the film to take a dramatic turn and really have you thinking hard about the world we live in and whether or not certain lines of dialogue are true about society in general.

This is an eye-opening film in that regard and the third act is incredibly ambitious, but I just don't think it really sticks the landing that it strives to achieve.

In the end, this is one of the most original ideas I can recall in recent memory, but an idea doesn't make a film great. It's the film itself that needs to win you over as a whole, and Downsizing just didn't do that for me.

On many accounts, this is a very impressive movie from a technical standpoint and it takes risks that I didn't expect it to, but the risks it takes will only work for a few audiences members that can relate to it.

This is a movie that promises a lot and tries to deliver on all of those promises, while also shoving in side plots that make this film too emotionally complex to really be invested in the satirical aspects by the end.

I wish this film went through a few more rewrites, because there is a satirical masterpiece of a movie in here somewhere, but it's just not the product that you'll be seeing in theatres soon.

Downsizing is worth your time in terms of originality, but I wouldn't get your hopes up on it being a favorite of yours. In my opinion the biggest problem and the reason for all the down votes of this movie is it's trailer.

I also thought this movie was going to be a full-on comedy. Seeing Jason Sudeikis,Kristen Wiig in the trailer; all the jokes made me believe this is going to be funny to watch.

Well, both of them were in the movie for like 7 minutes. Also there was this anticipation of experiencing how the "small" world would be but that also is a really tiny part of the movie.

This movie is much more than the trailer offers but unfortunately it also is much less than it too. Watch this movie but change your expectations.

A wonderful, thought-provoking movie that is not your usual fare. This stayed with me long after the closing credits thanks, in no small part, to the utterly magnificent Hong Chau.

Charming without being sugary, moving without being over-sentimental, funny without being side splitting or resorting to gross out gags.

The film carries several messages that are not exactly subtle but relevant nevertheless. Wonderful special effects that fit in to the film without distracting from the story or becoming the centre piece and a musical score that also compliments.

Christoph Waltz hits his usual gold standard with ease and Mat Damon plays the bumbling everyman to perfection.

Films like this don't come along very often as movie studios tend to play safe but this is one to watch for certain, even if you end up disagreeing with my review.

If you're expecting a goofball, raunchy comedy, this isn't it, hence some of the bad reviews. This movie was more mature than the trailers lead on, but there is plenty of well-timed comedy, intertwined with a drama that is deep and emotional.

It's the story of an underachieving man's journey from a unsatisfied life, seeking change for the wrong reasons, only to unexpectedly find true purpose and love in process.

If that's a plot that peaks your interest, than this movie delivers. The leading Vietnamese lady love interest steals the show!

If you're a grown up, with a developed taste for script over cheap vulgar laughs and attention span to appreciate a heart warmer, this is worth your money.

After watching this film and then seeing the low rating for it I was really surprised, did I see the same movie? I saw an interesting and emotional drama about an under achieved man , Paul Matt Damon looking for a better life, he is betrayed by the one person he wanted an improved life with.

There is a message about mankind here too , our planet is overpopulated and we need to find a solution, the downsizing concept actually makes a lot of sense.

As usual in the real world good ideas can be abused in the wrong hands or turned against humanity. Big or small there will always be a class system, winners and losers.

Ok the film is far from perfect and loses its way a bit in the second half with the under explored imminent catastrophe angle.

The quirkiness highlights come in the Vietnamese girl , Ngoc Lan Tran Hong Chou who takes over Pauls disappointing new life and his neighbour Dusan Christoph Waltz who adds a new spark, together they give Paul new purpose, a chance to make up for unfulfilled aspirations, at the end of the day what do we all want out of life?

After seeing the trailer and prior to that not knowing a thing about this movie, I took the wife last night.

I loved the concept and saw many funny people Kristin Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, among others in the trailer and thought it would be fun.

Seemed to be another movie trying to push down an agenda regarding global warming and conservation rather than being a fun escape for 2 hours. If you like the actors, you might like the movie, but if you're expecting something with a comedic slant, I'd say you'll be disappointed.

This movie is a complete waste of time. I feel like unfortunately Matt Damon is now just trying to make money no matter how awful the script is.

His last two movies Suburbicon and now this, Downsizing have been awful. I watched this movie for free and I still want my money back.

It was extremely long, boring, no storyline, no plot. After the first 30 minutes, everything seems 'normal sized' like in any other movie because you are just in the downsized world so everything seems 'normal'.

There is no contrast between the real world and the downsized world because they completely stopped showing the real world. I don't know what the point of this movie was.

The premise was clever but the execution just wasn't there. Seems like they got a good idea and forgot to write a story.

It has big ideas, despite being a story about going small, but ends up saying nothing, while trying to be everything. Let's get into that in a bit..

When the wife refuses the procedure at the last minute, the husband has to reassess his life and choices. Now that's interesting! And 'Downsizing' works wonders until it works on the premise it promises to be.

BUT, 'Downsizing' only flirts with the idea of going small, it instead, becomes a tonally jarring film, whose narrative is as broken as america's current political scenario.

Right after Damon's passive protagonist hero shrinks himself, the film shifts gear into another rhythm that is surprisingly ineffective. And just when Chau becomes the character you begin rooting for, the narrative suddenly turns into something catastrophic.

By the time the 3rd plot kicked in, I had given up! Payne hasn't made a bad film, he has clearly made a confused film.

Or is this 3 films into one film while being 3 in 1? Its this simple: It was about shrinking yourself for your own good.

And it remains that for minutes. But the rest of the minutes, are nothing of what it was meant to be. The other track involving Chau's scene-stealing performance, is interesting for a bit, but it doesn't last beyond minutes.

And the last track involving a catastrophe, is devoid of any emotion. By the time 'Downsizing' ends, you'll be confused what too feel for it.

And what was it trying to say? Shame, because Payne is a master at his craft. Barring Chau, No other performer really stands out.

Damon is barely at his best, while Waltz at least has come fun. The rest are strictly okay. On the whole, 'Downsizing' aims big but falls pretty short.

I'm a die hard fan of Alexander Payne I've been waiting for Downsizing with childish anticipation. The first few minutes of the film I felt at home.

Matt Damon's wardrobe alone told me I was in male Payne territory. Matthew Broderick in Election, Paul Giamatti in Sideways - ordinary to the point of being invisible and then, the downsizing, No idea where the story goes from here and neither does Mr.

There is something of John Frankenheimer's Seconds, although, clearly, that's not Downsizing's intention.

No, what is Downsizing about? I never ask myself that questions because I usually don't have to, but I have to now. I have no idea if it was an an allegorical piece too clever for me or was it that the great Alexander Payne was venturing into virgin territory with one of his old invisible characters as a guide.

Without having everything quite figured out. Hong Chau is lovely but was she suppose to be comic relief, tears and all? I couldn't tell and yet, I was transported and intrigued and at a certain point I was moved even if, I couldn't quite believe in the whole thing.

So, go, at your own peril. So I have never reviewed a movie before, but OMG, what just happened here. The trailers looked entertaining and Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig are comedy heavyweights, so I figured "hey, shrink down some people and commence with hilarity and comedy hijinx".

Both actors combined have about minutes of screen time. The movie started out promising, but then it started to get strange and preachy.

After the credits rolled, my wife and I just sort of stared at each other for an awkward amount of time waiting to see who would blame who for picking this movie.

The conspiracy theorist in me is concerned that I was baited with a fun comedy movie then switched into a global warming nonsense hit piece.

The trailer does not do this justice. If you want a goofball comedy film, don't watch this. If you want a clever, unexpectedly heartwarming portrait of the world then this is the film for you.

Is it better to live in the world with all its flaws or withdraw from it? Paul Matt Damon is on a philosophical journey he only gradually recognizes.

His desire to downsize may have been precipitated in a midlife crisis. Ngoc Hong Chou is a very versatile actress that can berate and cajole and steamrole nearly anyone.

As a Vietnamese refugee both the actress as a baby and the character smuggled in a TV container she understands one lives or one dies and it is not something one can control.

Paul needs a kick in the butt and Ngoc is just the one to give him one when required. The scientific flaws in Downsizing are rampant. The willingness to suspend disbelief is essential.

I could see a Downsizing II, but I don't know if it could answer the moral questions that Downsizing raises and forgets to answer.

This movie takes a good premise about people shrinking themselves and makes it boring. It's almost like there are 3 different movies ground up into a paste then eaten and shat out by Payne.

I cannot emphasize how boring this movie is, once the character is downsized there is no interaction with anything big.

Why did they even downsize the character if they weren't going to have him do anything. The movie is basically An Inconvenient Truth with small people who you can't even tell are small.

So many people giving this movie a bad review, don't listen to them! This movie is phenomenal. I was expecting what all the people giving bad reviews were expecting, a silly, comedic, over-the-top movie with SNL alum.

What I got instead was far better. The movie is still very funny; just with a more intelligent sense of humor.

The central message of the movie is not actually an environmental tree-hugger propaganda film, like many have suggested, but instead is a message about growing where you are planted; and about realizing that while some seek to do things that might change and save the world, without being willing to help those around you; what is the point of anything else?
