![]() Heavy homage is paid to the original “Star Wars.” The whole movie is basically like one prolonged shot of the Mos Eisley cantina bar scene from “Star Wars,” full of jabbering multilingual aliens. Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Style Kang’s got his power back and is set to take over the entire multiverse, as villains do. She also knows Kang (Jonathan Majors), a dimensional conqueror whom she left stranded before she escaped. You may remember, Janet was stranded in there a long time and knows the lay of the land. Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton) and her dad, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) ![]() Scott her mom, Hope Van Dyne (aka The Wasp, played by Evangeline Lilly) Hope’s mom, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) and granddad Hank Pym (Michael Douglas)-all get sucked into the quantum realm. Science Experiments!Ĭassie’s been doing some experimenting on her own but, of course, something goes kaflooey. She’s gone and used the forbidden family superpower to shrink a cop car into a Hot Wheels version of itself that she keeps in her pocket, still hilariously and minutely honking, siren-ing, and strobe flashing. Then, he’s gotta go bail his teen daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton) out of jail for protesting some or other injustice. Except for the running gag of getting mistaken for Spider-Man. He’s kicked back, written a book he’s at Barnes & Noble doing readings, getting celebrity freebies at the local coffee shop, and so on. In this bloated threequel, Scott’s chilling from frontline superhero duty with the Avengers. “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” features, of course, Ant-Man, aka Scott Lang (Paul Rudd). Hollywood screenwriters have been scouring metaphysical, cosmological, philosophical, ontological, and spiritual texts, and offering them up to the moviegoing public as comic book popcorn entertainment. ![]() It’s sort of related to the Multiverse of Madness. That’s basically how I understand the quantum realm. But since this threequel is clearly setting up a fourth installment, it’s safe to say that Ant-Man will soon be delving into the realms and dimensions of quarks and neutrinos. I’m pretty sure “Ant-Man” is only talking about going one level down. Each one of those layers is a realm, or dimension. Let’s say that a piece of sand contains 3,000 particles, and you zoom in on one of them, and find another Earth-like planet, with beaches? And sand? And down and down it goes-just how far, nobody knows. With sand.Īnd what if you shrunk yourself and landed on one of those beaches, picked up a random grain of sand, and put it over the aperture of your mega-microscope and zoomed in on it? Green vegetation! And that blue is rimmed with white. I find the following concept helpful: What if the model of our solar system-the sun being orbited by nine planets- is the exact same model as that of an atom? The nucleus being the sun, and the planet-like electrons orbiting the tiny nucleus sun?Īnd now imagine, if you zoomed in on one of those teeny-tiny particles with a ridiculously powerful microscope, and as it emerges out of the distant blur … it’s blue? And as you manipulate the coarse and fine adjusters and come in closer … there’s green. The “quantum realm” is the abiding, main feature of the “Ant-Man” films. How should we understand the quantum realm? The word “quantum” refers to the smallest amount of something that you can have. ![]()
