Fant4stic: Reborn! - Part 35

Q: "What if we say no?"

A: "Then go watch Ant-man again!"

 

[Paradox1]

I found the trailer quite enjoyable I laughed out loud with the flying car bit. Not in love with Doom's looks at the end. He's somehow become part of the n-zone they had the same rivers of green on the planet. However Kebbell voice that was excellent, he looks to be quite good in the role.

"What if we say no?"

"Say yes."

Josh Trank's mantra for filming this movie!

Being honest, although I'm postive on the trailer, that line made me properly cringe, could've at least made him shrug and say it somewhat comedically

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

So that was probably my favourite of the trailers/teasers.

Liked that we're getting some backstory for Reed and Bens friendship and Reeds genius at such a young age.

Action looks awesome.

Certainly not cheap looking with all those effects and destruction.

Doom comes across as a guy who wants to rule over others which would lead into perhaps conquering Latveria in the sequel

 

[Lencho01]

I liked both of the new trailers and the new footage. I was beginning to wonder if much doesn't happen since the older trailers and TV spots kept using the same handful of footage.

And a big ass sun roof.

Because sun! And fire! And...stuff!

Guessing they leave him for dead there on the first trip.

I reckon he's gonna nail it, he's good at playing villains

And there was quite a few new scenes in this proving there's more to it than we'd seen

 

[Boom]

I cannot get over how ****ing awful Doom looks.

 

[Eddie]

It's no wonder Toby Kebbell said he wants Fox and Marvel to work together so he can fight Thor. He thinks he's playing Malekith.

 

[Darkraid]

Doom would be fun in a party if the disco ball suddenly stops working.

 

[BatsDC]

I can't get over how the CGI looks no better than Tim Story's movies.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

I can't get over how the CGI looks no better than Tim Story's movies.

Looks worse to me in a lot of scenes.

 

[Eddie]

I can't get over how the CGI looks no better than Tim Story's movies.

You have to remember that this was budgeted at $100,000,000 including 3D conversion. It ended up costing more, but that's because of the reshoots. This was always going to look cheaper than a typical modern superhero film.

For some reason the effects look bad in the international trailer, but good in the other one. Overall the cinematography is looking nice. There's just something about the trailers, the movie doesn't seem to have an identity of it's own. It doesn't look like the Story films, and it definitely has better effects, but it doesn't feel like anything special either. Maybe it's just the overflow of CBM's coming. There's so much good stuff on the way, i cant really feel much for more mediocre looking movies like Ant-Man and this. I do want to see both, but i'm not expecting anything special.

Which begs the question - if this isn't just a cheap rights grab, why give the Fantastic Four such a low budget? They deserve, and require, a higher budget than X-Men, yet they got significantly less.

 

[Boom]

I just can't believe a group of people actually sat down and decided that this was the coolest and most striking design they could come up with.

He looks like he belongs in Beast Machines.

 

[First Avenger]

The CGI is awful to be honest.

 

[Tony Stark]

Amazing how this looks like a freaking masterpiece in retrospect.

 

[Dasher10]

As miscast as this film is in general, Tim Blake Nelson as Suit Man is probably the worst. Friggin' Wayne Knight would have been a better Mole Man, especially if they were going Ultimate.

Wayne Knight would have been a great Mole Man period. I'm not sold on Nelson playing a character who was ostracized for his weight in the comics. Doom in the last trailer actually felt pretty awesome to me although he has little in common with his 616 counterpart. Jordan and Teller are selling themselves to me as Reed and Johnny. I'm still not sold on Mara and Bell after hearing Ben's voice and Mara's apathy for the source material. Nelson is still my sticking point since his weight is an integral part of the character.

 

[Sithborg]

Because the previous movies in no way justified a higher budget.

To me he looks like those things that attack you in groups in Mass Effect.

Did fans have a problem with that version's look?

 

[Tony Stark]

I can't get over how the CGI looks no better than Tim Story's movies.

In a lot of ways it looks worse. The big problem with the Story movies was they spent half the movie in a boring lab. So glad this movie will be shot entirely in a boring dark looking lab.

 

[BatsDC]

Because the previous movies in no way justified a higher budget.

Yet this one clearly did.

I tell you what, now that we've seen about as much as we're going to see, this description sounds like it might be pretty close (I noticed a few details in the final trailer that seem to fit including a plane that seemed to be breaking apart in the Negative Zone Beam):

Spoiler

Reed Richards and Ben Grimm are childhood friends and Reed's experiments with teleportation by transporting objects through the N-Zone [this] attracts the attention of the Baxter Building. He's recruited by Dr. Franklin Storm and befriends his children, biologist Sue Storm and pilot Johnny Storm. Reed is then partnered with Victor Domashed, an anti-social programmer from war-torn Latveria to build a Quantum Gate to access the N-Zone.

Once the gate is completed, Reed, Sue, Johnny, Victor and three other astronauts perform a succesful teleportation test, during which brief disruptions are created. Reed theorizes the N-Zone affects both time and space, and the disruptions are a result of a portal being open to it. The cycle needs to be completed so close the portal.

Reed invites Ben to the first real test of the N-Zone, but Victor changes the coordinates without Reed knowing, wanting to push the experiment further, and leaves the team stranded in the N-Zone, where they are exposed to unknown energies. They manage to make it back to the portal, and Ben jumps into the threshold to pull Reed out and is exposed to the energies as well.

Reed becomes able to stretch his body, Sue can become invisible and project force fields, Johnny can burst into flames, Ben becomes a rock monster and Victor is left disfigured and obsessed with the answers the N-Zone may yield. The other astronauts lose control of their powers and die.

Government operative Harvey Elder volunteers to fund Reed's attempt to find a cure, and Reed develops containment suits to help the Four deal with their powers. Eventually, they find out the government wants to weaponize their powers and exploit the Quantum Gate to create supersoldiers, which they disagree with.

Victor has developed technopathy and engineers a breakout from the Baxter Building's medical ward and makes his way to the defunct Quantum Gate. The others try to stop him, but he jumps into it and disappears. Elder has the Quantum Gate destroyed, tearing a hole in the space-time continuum that threatens to unravel the entire planet. As the disruptions grow worse, Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben escape with Franklin's help, steal an airplane and make their way to the Amazons, where the hole is located, to jump into the N-Zone and seal it off from the inside at the expense of their own lives with a machine Reed has created.

Arriving there, they are confronted by Victor, who has experienced years inside the N-Zone harnessing its power. Now calling himself Doctor Doom and viewing himself as above the human race, he tries to convince the Four to join him in his efforts to take over the planet, but they refuse and fight Doom to a standstill.

Reed finds out Victor has built a makeshift Quantum Gate to explore other realities. After Victor disappears in one of the disruptions and the Four seal the portal, they manage to time jump to five seconds after they went through the portal and destroy the Quantum Gate, ending the disruptions and saving the planet.

They are captured by Elder, but bargain to assist the government in developing new medical technologies, and implying they'll fight back against the government's attempts to make them weapons. In exchange, Elder declares the Baxter Building self-reliant and is appointed as the team's liaison with the military. Reed designs new suits for the team and even sketches a "FantastiCar". He develops a relationship with Sue, while Johnny and Ben also become good friends.

In an after-credits scene, Victor emerges in Latveria and plans to take over.

Stan Lee cameos as a man whose car is pulled into the N-Zone and left behind after Reed seals the portal.
Doom references Galactus, Annihilus and the X-Men while talking about the things he's seen in other worlds and universes.
