Even with the occasional narrative glitch and aesthetic misstep, the film unfolds in a matter not unlike frantically reading through a forgotten Bronze Age comic book, eagerly examining any impossible story crumbs or visuals that might be in store. With several outstanding performances, a very clear love of sci-fi weird angles, and conflict that’s sure to matter in the years to come, Book Quantumania becomes the strangest chapter in core storytelling in the MCU. “
