'Ant-Man and the Wasp' is the latest in the seemingly endless series of comic inspired hero and heroine movies.
The Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) are sent on a mission to retrieve (rescue) another Wasp lost in some form of a parallel universe. Standing in their way is Ghost Hannah John-Kamen) a hologram-like villainess.
The film is not high art but in having both a female hero and villain it certainly redresses Hollywood's more traditional gender balance (or rather imbalance).
The performers don't take themselves too seriously and so the film is imbued with a reasonable amount of humour. The special effects are not over the top but they are modestly impressive.
