Feeling uncomfortable throughout the viewing process

Shrinking people through high technology can reduce expenses, but this process is irreversible, and this setting made me very resistant from the beginning. And maybe this feeling of discomfort is exactly what the film wants to create. It describes every detail of the process of human beings in the process of shrinking and shrinking. It lasts for a few minutes. I almost feel sick to my stomach. It's not that the picture is disgusting, but the sense of violation of psychological hints. Sooner or later, human beings want the feeling that they will finish their game. Of course, this film still explores family in the end, but I couldn't stick to it. The low score makes sense.

    This idea is not new. Liu Cixin has two short stories about the world of miniature people. Science fiction fans should like to see the filmization of this idea. What's disappointing is that the deceptive trailer only talks about the first 40 minutes of the movie, and the story behind it has nothing to do with the trailer or miniatures at all. It's a dull movie about a loser's midlife crisis.
