waste time

This movie is the worst movie I've seen in years.

What a setting that can play tricks when the human body shrinks.

For example: the conflict between the villain and the adult; the villain is used by the military to spy on and attack the enemy country; the villain community is attacked by insects, birds, etc. The villain rises up to resist; after the extinction of the adult, the internal conflict between the villains; The adults attacked the villains, the villains rose up to protect themselves, and so on. . . . . .

However, the setting of this film simply chose the most uncreative and ungrounded path.

First, why is it to protect the environment and resources and then shrink? Isn't it how to protect the environment or develop outer space? Isn't this hurting the enemy 800 and losing 1000? This reason is too far-fetched;

Secondly, the demand is small after shrinking, so it takes up less resources, and people who have no money become rich. I understand this. The key is how can there be poor people in the community (isn't normal-sized food enough for small people to eat for a long time)?

Third, there was no harassment of insects or animals in the whole process. To be honest, the most important problem to face after shrinking is this, right? Even if there is community protection, but there is no accident in the open air? You must know that an ant is a beast. If there is no mosquito, there will always be ants, bees, and snakes, right?

Then, politics was peaceful. Shouldn’t such an important technology logically be used in political and military-related conflicts in the first place?

And then the most down-to-earth thing is that the villains and adults are peaceful. So no adults use their brains to use villains? So there are no sociopaths attacking villains? There is no mental obstacle and discrimination when the villain meets the adult?

Although the above issues are mentioned in the film, there is no expansion or self-justification. All literary and artistic works essentially reflect human nature and human desires. Even if the brain hole is opened, it is essentially packaging society and human nature with the appearance of the brain hole. No matter how whimsical it is, it must resonate with people and conform to the logic of human nature or nature. Obviously, the film avoids that perfectly.

The most inexplicable is the line between the male protagonist and the Vietnamese woman. All the characters' actions are not fully explained by motives, and they are completely reckless.

All in all, this movie is a typical good hand playing a pulp

    (2.0) An amazing movie. After a sci-fi start that sparked nothing, I'm still wondering if the film is going to go the way of the Coen Brothers (like Mystery Town earlier) and suddenly start a dystopian phase (like Elysium), or if it's nothing After it didn't happen, it made a strange ending without any warning. PS I think of Weig as Bronte.

    There are several points of succession in the development of the plot that make people roll their eyes every minute. Basically, they can come as they want, and they can completely ignore the logic of reality and emotional maintenance.

    Dr. Jorgen Asbjørnsen: What a waste. What a dreadful waste.

  • Dusan Mirkovic: Friends tell friends the truth. Okay, maybe sometimes I'm a little bit asshole, but the world needs assholes. Otherwise where would shit go out.
