>When scientists discover how to shrink humans to five inches tall as a solution to overpopulation, Paul (Matt Damon) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) decide to abandon their stressed lives in order to get small and move to a new downsized community — a choice that triggers life-changing adventures
I might actually see this

This feels like the first original (I mean really, original) idea for a movie in years, I have high hopes for this.
Maybe. Not going to the cinema for this one though.
It's about income equality
They play the atrocious trailer before every movie I've seen the last couple months

Yes and the government is forcing poor people to be small because reasons. This movie looks so fucking retarded.
>the world is overpopulated!
>the only solution is to round up all white people, shrink them and put them in a hamster cage
lmfao
>Downsizing
manlets' reactionary motion pictures
Wow, Matt Damon is really scrounging for cash
This is Adam Sandler tier
I don't understand who would volunteer for this. What are the perks? Not having to work?
You can already do that, it's called welfare.
>What are the perks?
They say that your money is worth more because you are small.
>Wow, Matt Damon is really scrounging for cash
It's an Alexander Payne movie. It was supposed to be a safe award bait, but critics are trashing it.
Your savings are multiplied because a "big house" only takes up a few square feet of real estate, you consume maybe a couple pounds of food and a gallon of water a year, you can drive around in a $40 RC car, etc.
You can live like a king in your lego house
>Matt Damon
Stop.
It's been a tough few years for Matt Damon. I guess The Martian was his last "good" movie but it was an outlier. His career since that Promised Land movie has definitely been on the downturn.
>This feels like the first original (I mean really, original) idea for a movie in years,
Honey I shrinked the kids rings any bells?
don't post weak baits like that anymore
They say right in the trailer that $52,000 big people dollars in life savings is worth $12.5 million tiny dollars, you'd never have to work again
>dogs are suddenly Godzillas and they piss all over you and your shit
imagine going spelunking in some giant thicc chick or being squeezed between her breasts haha
This is stupid as fuck.
>whoa I'm tiny guys! What's it like being a tiny person?
holy shit
If the shrinking is mostly for people with relatively meager savings, how are these communities being served with doctors, nurses, police, or firemen?
If people are shrinking to essentially live like kings, who is running the tiny supermarkets or making tiny dental appointments?
>Hollywood glamorizing manlets
>being a manlet is cheaper because you can live in smaller houses
WHEN WILL THEY LEARN
That movie came out nearly 3 decades ago and isn't exactly similar aside from magic shrinking.
imagine if some girl accidentally stepped on a bunch of tiny people while she was barefoot haha
>turn yourself into a small animal.
>birds, insects, weather now suddenly super deadly
>hope that big people will take care of you
>also you'll be a manlet
I'll stick to being big.
this is my fetish
Who’s working at all the “Cheesecake Factories” in Tinyland? If the perks are live like a king who the hell is volunteering to shrink down so you can work a minimum wage job bussing tables? There has to be someone around to clean shit up and do shit nobody wants to do.
>he's literally behind them
But... this makes no sense. Who builds the house? If it's a normal-sized person they're going to fuck up the detail work. Building a tiny model takes serious time, so it's not like it's really faster or easier than a crew building a full-size house.
If it's tiny contractors, you'd need a crew of them and they would want a substantial sum since tiny money is hugely inflated.
I think this movie will only work with Liberal Economics, or Kruginomics.
>6 million views
Just shut up you moron. It is absolutely not an original movie
>A middle aged couple who feel like they are in a rut do something drastic to change their minds
>one of them can't pull the trigger at the last second leaving the other to find their own purpose in life
It is a simple, neanderthal fucking story I bet it was typed by a room full of chimpanzees.
so if we all "downsized" how would you then farm a cow which would kill you if you went near it? you'd have to downsize everything in the world for it to make sense which doesnt make sense
Haha imagine if you shrunk and then a giant girl took you and kept you as a pet and used you as a human dildo haha that would be so weird
Don't you see? One bottle of vodka can sustain the whole town for a month-plus.
I can build lego houses all day for the little people, I charge $15 an hour
>Ripping off a dead kennedys song as your premise for a movie
>Starring matt damon
Saw it. Don’t expect a comedy. About every joke from the movie is in the trailer, and some trailer scenes are cut out. Depressing existential drama about the end of the world. I kind of liked it because the movie’s world is so fleshed out and full of creative ideas, but it goes all over the place without focus that feels more like the episodic miniseries it was initially planned as. Sup Forums will hate it because of the Vietnamese dissident character, and they’ll mistake satire for propaganda
I think it's an interesting premise that if you think about for longer than 5 minutes it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever
If I read the synopsis right it's implied they want the entire world population to be downsized within 200 years.
Lads I just solved works hunger
>Shrink Africa
>Airdrop a bag of rice and a case of evian once a decade
No one would want to live in an actual LEGO house though. This is more like a tiny model home with toothpick molding and shit. Which is both difficult to build and extremely fragile.
What if someone trips and demolishes your house? Who rebuilds it? What about services? Do they have tiny maids? Who would be a maid when they have millions of dollars? Take-out? Who would make food when they have millions? What if I want to order from Amazon? Does Amazon have a tiny person division? What if I decide to move? Will they make me ANOTHER tiny house?
So many questions, so few answers.
The entire thing hinges on the idea that there will always be enough "big people" to take care of them.
Normal sized people probably laser print the houses and small contractors probably work to make the finishing touches.
what exactly is that underground base tunnel thing Damon is shown in about?
I was honestly wondering how the first neonaziJW was going to spin this to their victim complex
Maybe they just 3D print all the houses. There. One, lonely Chinese 3D modeller can do a whole village before he croaks and is replaced with another cheap laborer.
Do any tiny people get crushed by cute girls
Just wondering haha
What do they pay the tiny contrators? Tiny money is hugely inflated with even poorfags having six-figure assets. Therefore all tiny money is inherently worthless.
lol ok. could big people and small people still have relationships? you could live in your wifes pussy
Could you just shut the fuck up you sad pervert?
Finally a movie about my favorite fetish.
All it takes is one normal-sized human with a flamethrower to go down in history forever and ruin any chance of this technology ever taking off.
If you're willing to make yourself tiny and weak you deserve to have the dangers of this planet kill you
>get downsized
>pay big woman to use you as a human dildo
MY FETISSHHHHHH
You should wanna see it because it's an ALexander Payne movie.
Alexander Payne sucks
youtube.com
Wouldn't a shrinking process be astronomically expensive though?
>If you're willing to make yourself tiny and weak
>it's actually a satire about how big government makes the individual pointless
I'd almost believe this if it wasn't proggie Matt fucking Damon in the lead role.
>What do they pay the tiny contractors
probably whatever puts them into the upper class of the small people. They said that $100,000 translates close to $10 Million in small people dollars. I'd bet small time contracting is one of the few professions even required in smallville, so anybody working would have a shitload more money than the normalfags who just party and help the poor all the time
Sorry user, continue your important conversation on the logistics of Lego houses
There's something extremely masonic and disturbing about this movie. It truly unsettles me.
Scientists discovered a way to where the cost is not important.
slit your wrist.
>spends thousands of hours making a movie
>gets pissed off because people on the internet would rather discuss their lame fetishes
dude why don't you just chill out?
>people on the internet
A polite way to say "pathetic filthy virgins"
>end of the world
Ellaborate, plz
It's a stupid idea anyway because it makes it astronomically harder to leave the planet. If long terms survival is the point, shrinking yourself is a horrible idea, good luck colonizing anything.
Why so angry user? You really shouldn't take things so seriously, you're talking about a shrinking Matt Damon movie on Sup Forums
it all wypepo falt
you're here too lmao. If you hate Sup Forums so much then leave
I got 4 minutes in before stopping. I'm not an Alexander Payne fan at all. What exactly made you think this video was a worthy argument?
The idea is to shrink yourself and everyone else so they consume fewer resources.
Not to mention how literally 1 inch of rain fucks your entire neighborhood
I'd rather talk about the movie and how it sucks rather than watch some stupid disgusting narcissists masturbating with text.
>shrink yourself to solve problems
this is the most cucked shit ive ever seen
I'll only go see it if there is giantess content and I don't see any in the trailer.
>implying every other major release of the last 10 years hasn't been a sequel, reboot, or remake
I pity you
Cell phones and computers would be impossible to make at that size.
lmao this entire concept is retarded, hopefully the ending is Matt Damon being eaten by a cat
did you even watch Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri? Or Ladybird?
i can just imagine a praying mantis accidentally being let in and melting peoples faces in their sleep
Underground bunker scientists built to ensure the survival of mankind after they calculate global warming/human excess will make the world unlivable.
You can also read the screenplay on Paramount’s website, but there are some differences. Like, the script starts with cavemen sitting around a campfire talking about their “giant” ancestors. Would’ve made the movie worse if it was in.
YOU MAY ASK YOURSELF
This would actually be a pretty cool movie, little people have to defend themselves from horrific bugs and what not. Would be a great horror movie.
it's the ultimate cuck fantasy
When people go to prison they should be shrunk and put in a tiny prison
>I don't understand market forces: the movie
Liberals are always pulling this shit.
...
HOW DID I GET HERE?
...
>all the brainlets ITT focusing on the overpopulation plot point as if it was the film's focus
Almost as bad as Aragorn's tax policies.
I did, actually, and I wouldn't say they were all that "original" either. Crime drama and teenage coming of age story, whoop de doo.
When I said downsizing is "original" I meant in a high-concept way.
>shrink yourself
>cats, dogs and some birds are now a threat to you
⭐ ⭐
I fail to see how those movies are in any way similar besides shrinking. In this movie people choose to be shrunk for finnancial reasons, shrinking is a mainstream phenomenon not a science experiment gone wrong, and the conflict isnt driven by trying to get back to normal size but to live within their new reality
>Matt Damon goes to reconcile with his ex and see if she will give shrinking another shot
>Her new boyfriend comes home unexpectedly and Wiig hasn't told him she was previously married
>She sticks Matt Damon into her panties to trap him where he can't make much noise
This would have been a really interesting concept 7 years ago desu senpai but in today's political climate the lib jokes just write themselves with this premise
>I meant in a high-concept way.
Dude... what if... humans.... were SHRUNK! You're the type of person who watches Black Mirror too I bet. Just dumb.
