Movie Reviews: “Ant-Man and the Wasp”
Movie Review: Sight and Sound
In the case of Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man films, the tactical contrast has to do with scale rather than location. The strategy is to keep the story and the spectacle literally and figuratively small, conveying a sense of jocular modesty in the face of the largest and most complex endeavour in the history of big-studio cinema.
Even such winking self-effacement is ultimately just a charade (these movies are all carefully quality-controlled product, and will continue to be until Marvel either exhausts its back catalogue or the Earth hits the sun), but it’s a good look, and Ant-Man and The Wasp keeps appearances up nicely.
The convolution of the plot, which involves the efforts of human-shrinkage expert Dr Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) to rescue his wife Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) from a 30-year exile in the ‘Quantum Realm’, is just so much pro forma annoyance, which is precisely (and rightly) how Reed and star Paul Rudd treat it.
The latter’s ability to keep ex-con/single-dad/reluctant superhero Scott Lang simultaneously sceptical, confused and committed to the sci-fi chaos around him without ever going boringly square-jawed is nothing less than the purest movie-star charisma.

Movie Review: ABC Radio Brisbane
The streak finally comes to and end with Ant-Man and the Wasp. Well, kind of. The Wasp has to share the title with her male counterpart. It’s a film where a viewing (or reviewing) of earlier movies is strongly recommended. There are many references to events that took place in Ant-Man (released in 2015) and Captain America: Civil War (released in 2016). For starters, the film opens with Ant-Man under house arrest by the authorities after some bad stuff which took place in Civil War.
This is a busy sequel with numerous sub-plots in play. Renowned physicist Hank Pym (Douglas) lost his wife (Pfeiffer) 30 years ago in the “quantum realm”, some kind of alternate universe where people are really small and other organisms are really big. Hank thought she was lost forever but evidence suggests she may still be alive and trying to find a way home. He’s been secretly developing a machine that would allow him to enter the realm and rescue his wife.
