I was reminded of - of all things -Coneheads while watching this 2017 scifi comedy that, like Coneheads, is pretty much over as soon as you first glimpse the sight-gag, in this case not pointy crowns but something just as interesting: a miniature world of environmentalists who have chosen to literally shrink their environmental footprints - but both the big, ordinary world and this downsized world look exactly alike once you are in amongst them, so with nothing more to do with its skit, the movie shifts after its elaborate, drily funny first third of world-building into a meandering Joe Versus The Volcano adventure, interesting but all of it far from earth-shattering.
★★☆☆☆
