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.

When I went in to see the film I had an expectation that it was an animated film made for adults. But when I sat in the cinema surrounded by preteens and children I found the film incredibly tasteless, both in terms of language and not least the visual aspects. I don't think a single opportunity has been missed to use all kinds of slang and metaphors to describe all sexual and biological sexual drives. Many sexual positions, pornographic references are both shown and told and where you can see these if you have any doubts.

In my opinion this is NOT a children's film.

That said, it is not a film for adults either. There is not enough real plot in the film and the language is not intellectual enough to create real humour.

I feel this film is a forced attempt to be humorous. Nothing else. So if you really want to see it, please don't waste your money on a movie ticket and support more of this kind of misery. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Yeah, to be honest, I didn't find this funny. It was way too weird, and at the same time, it was quite lame. I mean, it's true that we took health class in high school, but that doesn't make this movie any less weird. Just... the idea of an animated movie about sperm cells is just too weird, and I'm a fan of shows like Superjail!, Wonder Showzen, Drawn Together (the first two seasons), and King Star King.

I'll be honest, I like Sausage Party. It was a good movie, and a guilty pleasure. But this movie is way too much. It's just a generic comedy about teenagers having sex. It's just too much. A film that takes place inside of someone's private parts?? Like, come on. I will say that it does have a good message about teen pregnancy, but while it's not as bad as Skiff & AJ's Fantastic Voyage, it's still a mostly terrible and forgettable movie.

Not the worst film that I've seen, but way too much for my taste, even as a fan of shows like South Park. The film only has four original songs. Not to sound PC-minded, but this movie isn't worth it. That being said, while I know that Paramount Pictures had no involvement in this movie, this definitely would be the perfect movie for them, given how they just announced a movie literally titled "I Eat Poop", which was based on a children's book of the same name.

No disrespect to PFFR or any of the people I'll mention, but imagine if Paramount Pictures via Miramax hired PFFR to provide the English dub of the film, with the voice acting talents of Jeremy Shada, Raven Symoné, Christy Karacas, Alyson Levy, Matt Knudsen, Tom Kenny, even people like JJ Villard, JG Quintel, Ben Jones (creator of Problem Solverz), John DiMaggio, Eric Bauza, Grey DeLisle, Vernon Chatman, Will Arnett, and Seth Rogen.

When you really think about the book "I Eat Poop" as a movie by Paramount, and even the controversies Paramount had like with Nickelodeon and MTV, Spermageddon definitely fits the most with Paramount Pictures for a potential North American release.

Other than that, don't waste your time watching this movie.

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.

Fantastic movie! Couldn't have asked for a more fun movie of showing sexuality between two individuals. This ain't supposed to be a real or informative sexuality documentary/movie. It's a badass adult animation that is fun and awesome In It's own way. Movie was kinda short but the short ride was worth it! The only negatives I can come up with is that It was way too short. Should at least be 20mins longer with more fighting scenes inside the nutsack. Overall great movie, It's one of those movies you will never forget and you probably will watch it a few more times when some time has passed and you just want to have a laugh!
