The size of things

Hey guys, I just watched a movie called "Journey 2 The Mysterious Island." It is a fairly old movie but a very interesting one. In the movie everything is different size e.g. small animals become large and large become small. This movie gave me a few questions I want to ask.

1. If all the small living things become large, would we get crushed by bacteria?
2. There should be a mid point; a living thing that doesn't change size. What living creature is it? Do you think it would be the human?
3. If we become very small, how would you survive? To answer this one, let's say we don't get crushed by anything.
4. If we become very large, what animal would be the first you'd want to step on?

Although none of these happened in the movie, I wonder what others think of this.

A movie that came out in 2012 is old for you?

At number one,
I don't think the smaller animals have the bone structure to even be capable of moving anymore.
They'd just lie there on the ground like a crushed pudding.

Re: The size of things

changing the size of animals would kill them, a large bacteria would quickly become a stinky mess

Not exactly. What if it was dilated proportionally?

Yes exactly, bacteria, insects gather their nutrients and oxygen in ways which are impossible at large sizes. Millions of years ago there was larger insects because there was more oxygen in the air.

It's simple biology.

Re: The size of things

So technically what you guys are saying, that if small living things become large and vice versa, many living creatures would die causing the disruption in food chain causing everything and everyone to die?

Also sorry I thought the movie came out in 2011. I have to pay more attention next time.
