Meanwhile, the episodic story proceeds by fits and starts as a result of the main characters splitting up as they hurtle from reality down to the quantum level. Don’t be fooled by the frequent references to the ‘quantum realm’: Peyton Reed’s film is an eye-popping homage to the classic 1950s sci-fi yarns in which humans found themselves stranded on planets populated by weird and wonderful aliens (most of the minor characters look like they’ve just been barred from the cantina).
