The essence of a movie is to tell a story. The story is well told, even without the special effects. The story in the first half of the movie is not bad, and the subject matter is also very attractive, making human beings smaller to save resources. Because shrinking, middle-class money can get you a rich life. In Europe and the United States, the rich life is probably also living in a beautiful big house, you can go on vacation, you can have a massage, you can take yoga classes, go to the gym, and go to travel. So the protagonist couple decided to shrink into villains.
After shrinking into a villain, the story will not be told. It seems that a person with much poorer storytelling skills has come to tell the second half. It's so bad that you can't even read the logic of the story. The story is not told.
So the first half of this movie with some dialogue is quite meaningful to me. I'll just summarize what I think makes sense.
1. Get out of the small apartment, broaden your horizons, and don't get stuck in your current life.
2. Even if you become smaller, you still live the same life, step by step life, dating, and do not have the new beginning you expected.
3. Even if there are more significant things, it is not as important to seize the happiness in front of you.
