Scott's daughter, Cassie, has been secretly working with Hank to remotely map the quantum realm. But the portal enabling the study has attracted the attention of a powerful conqueror who has ruled that realm for decades . . . and he wants out. When Scott, Hope, Hank, Janet, and Cassie are pulled into the realm, they must join with the natives—it turns out there is a whole world down there—to fight back . . . but is there any chance against Kang?
I enjoyed the previous two Ant-man films, finding them light-hearted and funny. This one has those moments but features a darker tone. That is inherently fine, but sometimes the humor was jarringly done, inserted at odd moments. The story (once you get by Janet keeping quiet about an entire civilization) is decent enough, and the visuals are stunning. As the story progressed, I felt its pace accelerated and eroded the experience. There was a touch too much going on, with too little development. On the plus side, it was good to be introduced to (what I suspect is) the over-arching enemy of the post-Endgame world. That may give the MCU juggernaut the direction it has lacked in recent years. Overall, Ant-man 3 is okay, but I like it less than the other two films.
Rating: B-
