Bring It On Again

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania
(2023)

I quite enjoyed the absolutely phantasmagorical action of “Quantumania,” but like “Iron Man 2,” it would work so much better if it didn’t feel like a simple buffer before we get to the more urgent affairs with the Avengers.

They Crawl Beneath is a great entry in the sci-fi body horror subgenre and one that is entertaining throughout. It’s a fun movie that shows that a minimal cast, minimal set, and minimal scrip even can really work when in the right hands.
