- DIRECTOR:
Matt Shakman
- ACTORS:
Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, Sarah Niles, Mark Gatiss, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, Ralph Ineson
- PLOT:
The Fantastic Four (Pascal, Kirby, Moss-Bachrach, Quinn) of an alternate universe combat Galactus (Ineson) with a last-minute assist from his herald (Julia Garner).
- EVALUATION:
A perfectly adequate film that makes a lot of weird choices but at least manages not to ruin the most popular Fantastic Four plot.
- WRITING:
Surprisingly disinterested in the traditional characterizations of The Thing and Human Torch and glib in a way that doesn't always work.
- FILMING:
The set designs are truly excellent, as they were in WandaVision.
- BEST PART:
Surprisingly, either Mole Man or the fact that they actually made silver surfing look cool.
- TRIVIA:
This is Earth-828 because Jack Kirby's birthday was on August 28th.
- STINGER:
Jack and Stan stand-ins have a brief cameo in the Timely Comics office.
