Spermageddon

First I want to say that I do not want to have intercourse with a man ever again after watching this. Overstimulating, nauseating, full of misinformation and actually traumatising. It's very clear this was made by men even though it seems they tried to show both point of views. Also the amount of misinformation is really bad when considering the fact that the age rating is 12 years old. Probably not safe to show preteens that are curious about this topic this movie because of the misinformation. I laughed and cringed through the entire experience of watching this trainwreck of a movie. The characters are also not very thought through and become repetitive and sometimes very boring. The finale of the movie was insane. The movie also did not benefit from being a musical it in fact just made everything worse. Also the name makes no sense as spermageddon is literally just ejaculation which is nowhere near the end of the world. If you want to be educated about intercourse and other parts of puberty in an edgy and fun way watch big mouth not this. Big mouth does this in a way better way and also has a females writer/director to actually present accurate information about the female experience.

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.

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.

'Spermageddon' certainly is not your average animation film. I guess one could refer to it as the sex version of 'Inside Out', but it definitely is not for kids. It partly feels like an educational film and suppose it could be used for that purpose for late teens. Then again, as illustrated in the movie, teens nowadays find everything they need to know on the Internet - yes, and PornHub.

The film tells two stories, that of sperm cells living in Sperm City (located in Jens' sack - a nerdy boy who has just reached puberty). Here we follow sperm cell friends Simen and Cumilla (yeah, clever names) who is taught everything they need to know at the University of Fcking. While Simen is in no rush to be ejaculated, Cumilla can't wait, with the prospect of being the first to reach the egg.

Jens is going on a camping trip with his friends. Also at the camp, is Lisa, whom Jens fancies. On the first night, they decide to have sex, and this is where the adventure element begins - for these teens as well as for the sperm cells, who all race to achieve their ultimate goal.

The film even has musical segments and its own theme song. With pre-cum monks, E. Coli and a villainous sperm cell with a gadget or two, Jizzmo, among the guest characters, 'Spermageddon' is a highly inventive movie with clever (naughty) dialogue, and you might just view ejaculation in an entirely different matter after watching this movie!

The film's final act might give teenagers the idea that it is ok to have sex, as long as they use precaution, and if there is a slip and they get pregnant they can always fix it with a pill if they are not ready for parenthood. "If you're not ready, then you are not ready" almost sounds like an anthem during the finale. Apart from this final message, which I think might (unintentionally) leave the wrong impression, I kinda enjoyed this very different animated film. It certainly had its funny moments!

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!
