Released in

Agents J and K are back…in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him - secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.

Men in Black 3

rewatch

A fairly lacking film pulled kicking and screaming up to being just about OK by the ending.

They went all-in on flashy graphics that the original proved weren’t needed, and just make the whole thing feel a bit weird. The plot feels even thinner than the first two; it’s just “MIB does time travel” for the most part without anything particularly exciting added.

Josh Brolin did a good job as young Tommy Lee Jones. Emma Thompson did a really weird job of being an old Alice Eve.
