Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby lead a solid cast in this comic-book throwback that doesn't rewrite the genre but celebrates it.

As Reed, Pascal is convincing as the world’s smartest man who is nevertheless overwhelmed by the irrational flood of thoughts and emotions that accompany fatherhood. As written, Sue is a somewhat thankless character, but Kirby manages to add depth to the Invisible Woman with subtle performance choices.

Fee-fi-ho-hum Galactus is going to gobble up the world. But he offers the Four another option: He’ll slow his roll if Reed and Sue hand over their new baby. The doting parents aren’t on board with that plan. So, in a scene that lasts — I kid you not — two minutes, they try and fail to teleport the Earth to another part of the universe.
