Wrapping up his time on home arrest, Scott has learned to balance being a super-hero and a father. But when Hope and Dr. Pym come up with a new mission, Ant-Man finds himself fighting alongside The Wasp in hopes of correcting a mistake made years ago.
Paul Rudd (Scott/Ant-Man), Evangeline Lilly (Hope/Wasp), Michael Pena (Luis), Walton Goggins (Sonny), Bobby Cannavale (Paxton), Judy Greer (Maggie), Hannah John-Kamen (Ava/Ghost), Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet/Wasp), Laurence Fishburne (Dr. Foster), Michael Douglas (Dr. Pym).
Ant-Man and the Wasp begins by showing us Scott's life under house-arrest and completing a bit of plot setup. For the past two years things have been pretty quiet but when Scott dreams of Janet, lost when she shrank to the sub-atomic level, he contacts Hope and Pym. They quickly come up with a plan to rescue Janet, drawing Scott back as Ant-Man to help. The remainder of the film is an action-adventure journey as Scott and friends attempt to rescue Janet while at the same time foiling a plot by Ghost.
Acting is solid with Rudd doing well in a role he has held before. Lilly was good and seemed to work well with Rudd and others. Pena was silly fun as always, as was Cannavale. John-Kamen was interesting if somewhat dark and brooding. Pfeiffer, Fishburne, Douglas, and the remainder of the supporting cast were enjoyable.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds which are heavily reliant on CGI are good. Action scenes and effects were a lot of fun and supported the film well. Dialogue was good with a bit of comedy to keep kids interested. Sound and soundtrack are solid.
Overall Ant-Man and the Wasp is a fun family action-adventure flick that would make a great choice for family movie night. The film moves along at a decent pace with a lighter focus on the drama. Adults will appreciate the well done CGI and plot with some depth.
With a little mild foul language and some action violence, this should be fine for preens and above.
