This one feels more like a boring joke with one or two bright spots. The large sections of dialogue feel like a third-rate Hollywood script in the 1990s. Without dialogue, the part that relies only on pictures and music is higher in style. Although Rick and Morty also have noisy moments, every sentence has meaning, and useless nonsense is replaced by pictures.
The part of Lilliput is good-looking because the people in Lilliput are normal people, and it is a very traditional linear narrative, with elements of wasteland + dystopia + different world coming up, as long as you don't put a few zombies in it, then It is impossible to screw up. In the world setting, rick is a super genius scientist. He can do whatever he wants. No one on earth can do anything to him, so he can do whatever he wants on earth, but more often he goes to other planets to do it. But an alien shrinks this one today and shrinks that tomorrow, and treats the city as Tokyo every day, and makes all kinds of Godzillas come to the earth, and no one comes to them, and the whole world accepts a few colorful sponge sticks to sit on. Did it crash in the US with a spaceship? Emperor Chuan nodded, does Putin agree?
The parts of the story that are meant to be satirical are overpowered, basically jumping in your face and screaming. And even the South Park level from years ago was a multi-angle point of fuck everyone, and no mercy. Rick next door has integrated breaking the fourth wall, non-narrative, advertising, religion, etc. elements in one episode and it fits perfectly. Here, he just shoots a high-numerical book with a stupid gun and turns it into a bible.
Although it's not a bad movie, it's more like an alien exploitation movie. For the same reason, I can't watch a crooked star hitting the earth. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes boring.
