78 - Ant-Man and the Wasp

The sequel to 2015's Ant-Man maintains that film's lightness of tone, happily comic sensibility, and fabulously enjoyable visual effects. So often today we take exceptional effects work for granted but the conceptualisation and realisation of the images in Ant-Man and the Wasp make you notice, make you remark upon them. We had a great time. We find room for nitpicks, of course, with José expressing irritation with Ant-Man's malfunctioning suit and Mike finding the quantum realm too vague to provide real jeopardy, but our quibbles are minor. It's a lovely film, it got big laughs from the audience, and even gasps at one notable point. You should see it! Recorded on 2nd August 2018.
