Quick Review: Overly ambitious in concept, yet weak in execution, as it raises too many questions whose inexplicable answers remain vague, "Downsizing" deserves some credit for its reasonable originality, good intentions, and hesitant attempts at moral messages about the future of humanity, but the direction it goes after the protagonist's 'downsizing' totally ruins its initial potential, plus, the unbalanced script neglects most of the great supporting cast, relying desperately on Damon.

Concept just didn't appeal to me I'm afraid.
To me it did...on paper. I just didn't enjoy the film that much.
