Having said that, Marvel does their thing with the physical release, giving it an excellent array of special features, including a commentary and a gag reel. Much was made of the impact of the pandemic on CGI by rushing projects like this to completion, and history is going to be vicious to this movie, which already looks horrible. But this third installment in the " Ant-Man" trilogy offers so little in the way of interesting storytelling and competent filmmaking. Sure, Paul Rudd is never not-charming, and Jonathan Majors is an effective villain. I'm switching it up to offer a warning: Don't waste your time with "Quantumania." It's the worst MCU film in years, arguably ever, a pathetically rendered and inept piece of filmmaking that does almost nothing right. I ignore the films that aren't worth your time to champion a few physical releases that deserve your attention. Loyal readers of this column know that it focuses primarily on highlights. (Although you could do a lot better too.) Add in Lily Tomlin and Rita Moreno, and you could do worse for a weekend rental. Whenever I thought something like, "Oh, Sally Field is my favorite," someone like Jane Fonda would make another smart acting choice. As much as I detest this film's manipulative, silly script, it reminded me of the living legend status of its four stars. And yet it feels like fans of the brilliant performers at this comedy's center might want to take a look just to spend more time with actresses they love. There's something dispiriting about watching such talented actresses work so hard to elevate mediocre fan service like this commercial for the legacy of Tom Brady (and, weirdly, Guy Fieri).
