The Verdict
Thumbs Down: Skip It
Honestly, no one. Don’t waste your time, even on cable.
- The side characters are more interesting than the lead.
- It wants to do more with its story but fails, and the main character is uninteresting.

Full Review (Spoilers)
Downsizing is a movie that wanted to do more with its story but failed to do so in the end. You have an uninteresting character guiding you through the story when you would rather follow the side characters. I wouldn’t recommend seeing this movie at all. Don’t even waste your time watching it when it comes on cable. You have been warned.

DC's Hypothetical Corner
Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.
I’d follow the more interesting side characters instead of the uninteresting lead, and actually deliver on the story’s big idea.
