Certain film series shape pop culture so much that entire generations remember them. This includes our sci-fi tip on Amazon Prime today.
Halloween is over and now the escape from chocolate Santas and “Last Christmas” on the radio begins. If you want to retreat to the safety of the sofa for this and need material for a cult-nostalgic film marathon, you could now find it on Amazon Prime.
All four Men in Black films await you there: Men in Black, Men In Black 2, Men in Black 3 and Men in Black: International. That means: crazy action, bizarre aliens, lots of humor, buddy cop feeling and an entertaining mental break guaranteed.
In the Men in Black series on Amazon Prime, the world must be saved from alien threats of all kinds
The bright, former cop J (Will Smith) has accidentally discovered a hidden world for himself: that of the Men in Black (MiB), the secret service for protection against all alien problems in the world. The Men in Black operate in secret and keep the secret that we humans are not alone in the universe.
Some aliens are causing trouble on Earth – or even threatening humanity. That’s where J and his senior partner K (Tommy Lee Jones) come in. Despite their differences, they skillfully investigate, track down dangerous aliens, and regularly save the world. They don’t even stop at leaping through time.
In fact, however, there is not only the MiB in the USA, to which J and K belong. There is also an international division that operates around the globe. They are joined by Molly (Tessa Thompson), who has been obsessed with the secret service since an alien encounter as a child. Together with Agent H (Chris Hemsworth), they uncover a global conspiracy that could change everything for the MiB.
The Men in Black series is unique and incredibly entertaining and has rightly achieved cult status.
Unlike an apocalyptic war of the worlds or a nerve-wracking alien, Men in Black openly, boldly and good-humoredly positions itself as a comedy series. The humor has provided countless positive memories and frequently quoted lines over the last 30 years. Smith and Jones’ dynamic in particular delivers delightful barbs here.
At the same time, Men in Black is full of childlike enthusiasm and fascination for the alien threat from outer space. There’s always something to discover here. The alien designs range from the grotesque to the hilarious and are often the result of fantastic makeup artists and practical effects work. The entire MiB underground world is unique and iconic, from the flashy gadgets to the sunglasses.
Oh yes, and unforgettable action sequences. Just like honest feelings between partners that somehow get to you in the end. Men in Black simply entertains on all levels, comes up with something new with every movie and has more than earned its cult status.
