The Fantastic Four: First Steps | 🔗 imdb.com |
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world. The Marvel's First Family (Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer. And if Galactus' plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren't bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.

Saw Fantastic Four: First Steps in IMAX at Luxe Cinemas last night with Max. Really enjoyed it!

This one felt much truer to the 60s retro-futuristic aesthetic, which was a refreshing change. I thought it was a significant improvement over the earlier adaptations. The visuals, costumes, and music all felt new and distinct from other Marvel films.

Definitely a worthwhile opening weekend experience! The theatre went wild with loud cheers when Dr. Doom makes an fleeting appearance.

This felt like a documentary about the Mission Impossible series. The cuts from previous movies and a half-hearted attempt at tying up plots from the rest of the series was boring.

We had been talking about watching this movie in Chennai but never got a chance. Finally got around watching it in Kozhinjampara tonight in a nearly empty theatre.

Max wanted to watch a movie now that we have a new AC.

I wanted to introduce some old classics.

Max's review: the climax was a bit gross (the melting faces)
