![Spider-Man: No Way Home [DVD]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81zTg4wA9iL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I thoroughly enjoyed "Ant-Man" and was eagerly awaiting this sequel.
I wasn't disappointed when it finally arrived on my doorstep.
"Ant-Man and The Wasp" is funny, has more than its share of narrow escapes, and features really nice performances by Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, and Hannah John-Kamen. It also makes very good use of CGI. By that I mean the special effects are not used to cover up plot problems but, rather, enhance the story. The actors are the stars of this movie, not the special effects and that's a huge plus in my opinion.
The narrative picks up two years after the original Ant-Man (Scott Lang) burst upon the scene and our hero is currently on house arrest after working out a plea deal with U.S. and German authorities because he sided with Captain America in Marvel's "Civil War." A nice part of the narrative - to me, anyway - is that he has not only reconnected with his daughter but also with his ex-wife and her husband. (In the first movie her husband - a cop - spent most of the film trying to arrest Lang.) He has not spoken to Hank Pym (the scientist who created the Ant-Man suit that allows Lang to shrink in size) nor with his daughter Hope Van Dyne (Lilly) since he went to prison for helping Captain America. That changes when he has a strange dream about Pym's wife, who 30 years ago went into the Quantum Realm in order to stop a nuclear attack.
(I know, it's a little confusing but that's my fault, not the film's. It's all very clear in the movie.)
As a result of that dream Lang calls Pym and that leads the scientist to think there is a possibility he can rescue his wife from the Quantum Realm.
I'm not going to go deeply into the plot because I don't want to spoil the film for those that haven't seen it. I will say that there is a black marketeer who deals in high-tech gadgetry who is very interested in the Pym's work. The FBI is involved and John-Kamen has an interesting role as a woman who fades in and out of reality and who is also very interested in Pym's research into the Quantum Realm for reasons that become clear in the film.
All together, a nicely written film with a strong narrative, some really good performances by the main characters as well as the secondary ones, and a visually interesting viewing experience. There is also a very interesting twist at the end but you have to sit through the credits in order to see it.
Added together they equal 5 stars.

Fun, exciting superhero movie
The last we saw Scott Lang was at the end of "Captain America: Civil War" where Steve Rogers broke him, Falcon, Hawkeye & the Scarlet Witch out of the Raft prison. Then it was reveal in "Avengers: Infinity War" that Scott Lang was in house arrest for two years. So this film took us two years after "Civil War" where Scott Lang was in house arrest. Set while the Avengers & the Guardians of the Galaxy battling Thanos in "Infinity War", Dr. Pym & Hope (in her Wasp outfit) broke Lang out of house arrest so they can find a way to get Janet Van Dyne out of the Quantium Realm and also tangles with The Ghost who want Pym technology to save her life. The film ends when Pym rescues Janet and brought her out of the Quantium Realm. And of course, Scott Lang was released from house arrest and renew his relationship with Hope. Of course, there's a mid-credit scene where Lang get trapped in the Quantium Realm as the Pyms were turns to dust courtesy of Thanos which means Scott Lang will return in "Avengers: Endgame".This is a fun, exciting superhero film.
