Spermageddon

I remember seeing the poster for this Norwegian movie back in 2024 when it was just released, but I never got around to watching it back then. But as I had the opportunity to watch it here in 2025, of course I had to check it out.

Writers Geir Vegar Hoel, Jesper Sundnes and Tommy Wirkola put together an entertaining and funny storyline, which made it enjoyable to sit through. There are some genuinely funny moments and situations throughout the course of the movie.

There are some hilarious and memorable characters in the movie, and I especially liked the nod towards the "Olsen Banden" characters, that was just a stroke of genius.

With "Spermageddon" being an animated movie, then having a proper voice cast ensemble is alpha and omega, and luckily they did have a good cast ensemble to do the voice acting parts. Given my limited exposure to Norwegian cinema in general, then I wasn't familiar with any of the voices.

The CGI and art style in "Spermageddon" is nicely made and looks very colorful and vibrant.

"Spermageddon" is a rather entertaining CGI animated movie for a mature audience, and it is actually well-worth sitting down and spending 79 minutes on watching. I warmly recommend you to watch it, if you haven't already done so.

My rating of directors Rasmus A. Sivertsen and Tommy Wirkola's 2024 movie "Spermageddon" lands on a six out of ten stars.

I had the regrettable experience of watching "Spermageddon," and I have to admit that it was a film that left me more confused than amused. Although it was intended to be satirical, it ended up being too ridiculous, leaving viewers perplexed and angry instead of entertained.

The film's premise initially appeared to offer some intriguing insights into current concerns about masculinity, reproductive difficulties, and social expectations. But what actually happened was a fragmented story that made an effort to address these issues but ultimately failed miserably. Without a unifying theme, the plot jumps around from absurd scenario to absurd scenario. It seemed as though the authors just threw a number of concepts against the wall in the hopes that something would stick, but sadly, nothing did.

Character development is yet another area in which "Spermageddon" falls far short. The characters are painfully exaggerated to the point where it is difficult to take them seriously, making them little more than caricatures. It seems like our protagonist, who I assume is meant to be relatable, is obnoxious and overly self-indulgent. It is intended that his journey would represent a fight against fertility-related social pressures, but it instead descends into strange antics that make it impossible to sympathise with him. Similar to main characters, supporting characters are flat and only act as accessories in a plot that is shallow and undeveloped.

I think the humour was supposed to be the film's redeeming feature, but it is mainly juvenile and heavily relies on shock value. The constant stream of offensive jokes and slapstick moments felt forced and repetitive, even though I enjoy a good laugh. It seems as though the filmmakers thought that the audience would be entertained by the sheer ridiculousness of the material, but sadly, the punchlines were frequently unsuccessful. I found myself cringing rather than chuckling, wishing for deeper wit or clever satire instead of the mindless antics presented.

Visually, "Spermageddon" doesn't fare much better. The cinematography seems like a big, awful lot of biohazard, lacking any artistic flair that could elevate its mediocre script. The production quality appears low-budget, which in itself isn't necessarily a detractor; however, combined with the poor writing, it results in an overall product that feels amateurish. The special effects, when used, come off as gimmicky, distracting from whatever narrative thread was intended and contributing further to the film's erratic tone.

One of the most disappointing elements is the film's attempt to address serious issues surrounding male fertility and societal expectations. Instead of offering insightful commentary or meaningful exploration of these topics, it trivialises them, reducing complex issues to mere plot devices for cheap laughs. This approach is not only insensitive but also reflects a lack of respect for the very real struggles that many individuals face today.

In conclusion, "Spermageddon" is a film that promises much but delivers very little. It squanders a potentially rich source of material on a mishmash of confused ideas and immature humor. The lack of coherent storytelling, shallow character development, and an overall failure to connect with its audience render it a disappointing venture. What could have been a thought-provoking exploration of important themes instead becomes an exercise in frustration. It's difficult to recommend this film to anyone unless they're looking for a painfully exaggerated comedy that misses the mark entirely. Save your time and money-there are far better films out there that actually manage to balance humor and substance.

Wow, our almost fellow countrymen are just as crazy/liberated as us Danes, who were the first to allow pornography in 1969! ;)

Funny movie, but a bit overrated by the Danish press :D

I saw it with Danish voices on HBO and laughed out loud a couple of times, but most of the time it was borring :)

I wouldn't watch it with a child :D.

Most people have a great ability to misunderstand what this animation film is. Which is nothing more than an adult cartoon film for teenagers and adults, which largely showcases mostly just sexual jokes that are mostly intended for adult eyes.

We follow in the film two teenagers who have feelings for each other in a loving and sexual way, through a clichéd teenage party. By through the lead characters boy Jens and the girl Lisa, the film goes via their own body perspective in ''Osmosis Jones'' cartoon style, to just via rough sexual humor in ''Sausage Party'' animation style.

This animated film is unlike any other when it tests human limitations within sexual humor. And an adult comedic musical scene that gives other animated films a real tough competition at the cinema top.

If you are the type who likes humor style like South Park, Sausage Party, Rick and Morty.

Then this movie is for you.

A warning, don't be fooled by other critics saying this is a children's cartoon. Because this cartoon is only intended for teenagers and adults.

Not for children!

I loves the storyline and all of those moment that made the crowd laugh. I don't get the reviews telling otherwise, you knew what you were in for in the first place. If you come in with a bad attitude towards these types of movies then you're not eligible to write a review that's negative in my opinion. This movie is for the open minded, and i LOVED it and laughed so much with my friends. Worth a watch, especially if you're hanging with the guys.

Concluded i for sure recommend this movie for someone who is looking for a good laugh and time with your friends. Voice acting and structure was really nice made as well.
