Downsizingnot only boasts a critically acclaimed conductor , it also pack plenty of star power . It stars Matt Damon as Paul Safranek , Kristen Wiig as his wife , Audrey , Christoph Waltz as aging party son Dusan , Udo Kier as Joris , Hong Chau as Ngoc Lan , and James Van Der Beek , Laura Dern , and Neil Patrick Harris .
The film tackles the idea of try on to solve over - population by shrivel humans to 5 column inch ( 13 cm ) improbable in the course of 200 years . The experimentation is purportedly spearheaded by Norse scientists and hail with some very attractive benefits , which leave " daily couplet " Paul and Audrey to provide everything behind in Omaha and partake in in the procedure in the hope of starting a unexampled ( albeit smaller ) animation . short they acknowledge that the lifestyle change will thrust them in an unexpected adventure full of surprises and self - discovery .

While the scientists present them as a way of life to solve Earth ’s problems like overpopulation , those who undergo the procedure , like Dave Johnson ( Jason Sudeikis ) , go steady it as a way to meliorate his life style thanks to the way it amplify his family ’s own fiscal resource . This becomes a immense constituent on the Safraneks who eventually decide to join the experimentation .
