Great Quantum Surprise

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2015)

I went to watch "Ant-Man" with the idea of watching another commercial super-hero movie of our days. What a great surprise when I realized that this film was going to hold my attention and make me enjoy during the entire two hours of film.
The story is not too complex: the main character (Ant-Man) has to avoid the bad usage of the Pym technology, which is able to reduce the size of anything, with the help of Dr. Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter.
At first glance, saving the world does not seem any revolution in the genre. However, the idea and methodology of achieving this objective are fascinating. The way of dealing with the quantum world is outstanding. I love how the director has mixed the microscopic and macroscopic world and how it is explained during the film. At some point, it reminds me of "Interstellar" but applying the quantum theory instead of the theory of relativity. I also like the usage of the ants and the different roles of each type of ant.
"Ant-Man" is not the kind of movie that abuses of action scenes, which is welcome nowadays. Furthermore, I find terrific how hilarious moments are introduced during the whole plot. It has been literally irresistible not to laugh at certain moments of the film.
To sum up, I highly recommend "Ant-Man". You will not regret spending the price of the ticket.
