Most viewers, however, care less about the ridiculousness that ensues than the motivating factor that drives them to this choice, a rebellious response to Samir and Michael’s nonsensical downsizing.

At least that ridiculousness would match the revelation here that Chris funds an academy of brilliant neurodiverse children able to hack into any camera, computer or city streetlight.

Cronenberg’s film pushes the boundaries of its ridiculousness to an almost uncomfortable place.

Nick is aware of the world’s ridiculousness, and he’s tortured about it.
