Ant-Man and the Wasp

After the heartbreaking apocalypse of Avengersfinishing off in the recent Marvel outing, it is rather cathartic to watch the gentle proceedings of an everyday life depiction of the quizzical Antman and his beloved Wasp.

Add to that, the crack-jackery of an ageing Michael Douglas and the rare appearance of Michelle Pfeiffer and you have the ball rolling, or should we say buzzing? Antman here takes a quantum leap into physics and its innate ability to bring a being into its molecular form of which the Antman and the Wasp, on a mission to save the world, becomes a victim of.

The darling wasp capsizes into quantum space waiting for a release from her forced molecular form even as the villain helps a victimised vamp try and extract the wasp’s energy to survival.

It’s a simple life story around a complicated maze of scientific fiction but ably managed and directed through the lanes of quantum physics with enough verve to keep your eyeballs on the show.

There is everything for everyone here, including the fantastic nano-technology that can shrink highrise labs into a suitcase and be taken on a roller coaster ride into and out of scientific currency.

See it for the somewhat non-Marvel Marvel story where small is beautiful and big is, well, non-existent when in super action.
