I don't have much to say about this film. It was fun but didn't bring a whole lot of new to the table. Solid B grade. No qualms about adding it to the collection in a few months.
So was Scott spared because he was lucky or do you think he was spared because Thanos' snap doesnt affect the Quantum Realm?
I must be such a geek... funniest line in the movie (to me) and I was the only one in a packed theater that laughed. :lolDo you guys just put the word 'quantum' in front of everything?
Because it’s easier to suspend disbelief for logical inconsistencies if you find the characters and story engaging.While I enjoyed the film overall, I have a couple nitpicks that bug me a little, mainly with the pseudo-science of the movie:
The shrinking vehicles - How can people pick up the shrunken cars (or any shrunken thing) without destroying them in their fingers? A real car that is shrunken down to the size of a Hot Wheels car would not be as durable. The metal would be much thinner than it's Hot Wheels equivalent, and all the parts would be much more delicate.
Also, how do the small vehicles continue to drive as fast as the full size vehicles? Inertia may account for some of the disproportionate speed (when the cars shrink while moving at high speed), but the engines, gears and wheels of a standard full size automobile would not be able to accelerate or maintain the same speed of a full size car.
How did Janet Van Dyne survive in the quantum realm? What did she eat and drink? How did she stay hygenic? And how in the world was she able to do her hair and makeup for 30 years? The only kind of answer to that comes with her saying "the quantum realm changes you" (or something along those lines). So maybe its implied that some physical change that occured which altered Janet so that she either doesnt need food or water, or need to bath to survive. Regardless, the film didn't explain.
Okay. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, we get to see more of the Quantum Realm. I was kind of under the impression that time does not go by in the same way in the Quantum Realm as it does here, but…She [Janet Pym] aged.
She aged. So I was wondering what’s up with that?
Much like quantum mechanics itself, it is all very complicated. And it is, there are various…if you notice in this film, he talks about she through Scott Lang says meet me in the Wastelands beyond the Void. There are various levels that we check in on. So there are many, many different layers to the Quantum Realm.
So there are layers that time does not pass by?
That’s what they’ve told us. They’ve told us that it, time and physics and space work very differently down there. But that was part of a, that was a big question during the development process. And as usual, you’re the first one to pick on it a little bit, which is… should she have aged or not? And we felt that new Quantum Realm, we could justify either one. But that ultimately you wanna have an emotional reunion with Michael Douglas, an emotional reunion with Evangeline Lily and our first instinct had always been specifically now Michelle Pfeiffer from that first movie. It felt like it should be somebody who’s the right age. As opposed to Michael Douglas with somebody who has not aged. Or Evangeline Lily connecting with somebody who’s not aged. That just adds another layer of sort of sci-fi weirdness. Yeah. And we’re not afraid of sci-fi weirdness. I love it. But not in that case.
