![]() The reason why this is ahead of the other two films on the list for me is the visuals. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets to some critics was a beautiful mess and sadly I wasn’t able to see it in theaters when it first came out. The movie does promise a lot and attempts to deliver on those promises, while incorporating some themes about consumption and materialism. There are a lot of characters, which keep this concept from growing too stale too fast, but also makes it hard for the audience to track. It is fun to have Matt Damon make the best of this new experience, while also juggling his wife’s feelings alongside fellow shrunken people. It uses the shrinking as the mcguffin to start the plot, which is really typical of some sci fi flicks and it uses the shrinking to full effect with giant objects and people getting drinks from a tipped over vodka bottle, which is just fun. Going along the lines of being a dramedy, this movie leads audiences on path of social satire.Ī therapist undergoes a new therapy to shrink himself to four inches tall in order to help the overpopulation problem and so that he (Matt Damon) and his wife(Kristen Wig) can live a comfortable, better life. Starting with a funny little movie, Downsizing by Alexander Payne, it was a movie that was enjoyed by critics, but left audiences either confused or amused.
