Action and special effects – that’s what everyone praised the film for, while it was new and it was watched in theaters. This is only then it begins to be evaluated for real, for the history, originality, internal logic, semantic load and evaluate the film, not 3d-glasses.
The film is very simple, typical passing fiction, naive, illogical and frivolous. The first hour is almost nothing at all, the action happens only at the end, and in itself it would not be a problem if the timekeeping was busy with something worthy (drama, mystery, something cunning), but we just look at the family of the dummy, his training in a suit and jokes about stupid Mexicans. In addition,
- Villains are clichéd "Voldemorts" who want power simply because they want it.
The customers for the weapons are the guys from Hydra... which has already been destroyed 3 times.
- The villain announces the development trade before he finds a way to reduce people. Well, it makes sense to attract investments, but he literally sells them an unkilled bear, and only then he worries that he has nothing ready.
- The hero escapes from prison with the help of reduction, and then flies a completely meaningless scene of escape from the police. The police, who do not even know about the reduction, cannot see the hero and do not pursue him. We were literally shown a disturbing scene of "chasing" when no one is chasing the hero. He could walk along the wall all night without rushing.
- The wasp allegedly died by shrinking to the atomic level to penetrate the rocket. No stitches or rivets in the rocket??? How could she break something in a rocket at that size? To do this, she had to increase again.
- In the city, right from the cell, a famous burglar disappeared, the police are looking for him, one of the Avengers saw him in the face and knows his name, Pym’s house is openly watched ... and the hero thinks that his mentor will not be waiting on the spot. Idiot.
- The abilities of the burglar, for which the hero was chosen, were practically not beaten in the film - he leaked with water and ants directly into the trap, and the theft theme was exhausted. It's called "not taking out the concept." In superheroics, this is full: reporters are immediately fired so that they do not have to disclose their profession in the plot, and lawyers are not shown at the work of lawyers.
- The child's behavior is antipsychological. Before her father fought to the death, almost died, threatened his stepfather, thundered explosions, destroyed half the house, and how does she react? Smiling.
- Biggest mistakes about ants. The ants get to the place by swimming through pipes. They'd just drown. The hero has a personal flying ant Anthony - and what kind of caste is this ant? Workers and soldiers have no wings, so it is either a queen (but anatomy does not fit) or a male (not every species has wings). In the English Marvel Pediatrics, there is already a note from a biologist who explained that this ant is unreal for a number of reasons. Also, the hero is worried about the death of this ant, but the ants live only a few weeks or months, and the hero’s training lasted about as long. How can you become so attached to an insect? How did he distinguish him in the face, right? One ant was enlarged to the size of a dog - well, he would just suffocate and at the same time broke his legs, the insects remained small because they have no lungs that could provide oxygen to a large creature, and their limbs are not designed for such loads (the law of the square cube).
Essentially, I liked two things throughout the film: the hero's buddy, who explains simple things with long, confused stories with meaningless details (I had such a friend), and the scene of a journey into the nanoworld. Otherwise, this is a popcorn stunt, from which he gawks at Disney with his genre of “Amazing Stories”, and not at all Marvel.
