The Fantastic Four: First Steps

In een retro-futuristische wereld geïnspireerd op de jaren 60 vormen Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm en Ben Grimm de Fantastic Four. Het superheldenteam komt voor hun grootste uitdaging tot nu toe te staan wanneer ze de raadselachtige Silver Surfer ontmoeten. Zij vertelt hen dat een roofzuchtige ruimtegod genaamd Galactus hun planeet met iedereen erop wil verslinden. Als het viertal de aarde wil verdedigen tegen deze nieuwe dreiging, zullen ze hun rol als helden in balans moeten brengen met de kracht van hun familieband.
Don’t introduce me to a lifestyle you can’t maintain, Marvel. Quite possibly the most visually stunning MCU film ever — absolutely striking visuals that gave me 2001/Interstellar vibes at points. The retro-futuristic aesthetic, combined with the practicality of the sets, just makes this a wonderful treat. It’s an experience which at its core is about family and let me tell you, Marvel’s first family is the best we’ve ever seen them. Their love adds all the stakes and makes this a real nail-biter by the end. Sue Storm, to be transparent, is clearly the standout — Vanessa Kirby is the real soul of this team. Michael Giacchino once again has me levitating with that score. Any moment we’re with Galactus, the music will generate this ominous atmosphere that will make you feel little. They finally did The Devourer justice like c’mon did you see his glowing eyes?! An imposing universal force of nature that looks comic accurate wowzers. Silver Surfer too, the things she does in this film… how do I get her number? The story really does feel like they gave me everything I wanted with Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). Stay for those end credits. Chills. Very excited 4 the future.
