Men in Black 3 [Blu-ray/DVD] [Canadian; Bilingual]

1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (info)

The MEN IN BLACK are back, and this time Agent J (Will Smith) must take a trip into the past in order to save both the future and his taciturn partner Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) in the third installment of the hit sci-fi comedy series. After 15 years of working with aliens from all across the cosmos, Agent J is sure he's seen it all. But just when he's getting the hang of the game, he learns that history has inexplicably been rewritten. In this new timeline of events, Agent K has been dead for 40 years, and Earth will soon come under attack from an extraterrestrial force with the power to claim the entire planet. Now, in order to set the past straight and head off an invasion of epic proportions, Agent J must travel back to the year 1969, when Young Agent K (Josh Brolin) was just a fresh new face on the force. But Agent J only has 24 hours to find the source of the coming catastrophe and discern how his longtime partner ties into the situation -- should he fail he'll be stuck in the past forever. Jemaine Clement, Alice Eve, and Emma Thompson co-star.

Critic Reviews

3 stars out of 4 -- "It has an ingenious plot, bizarre monsters, audacious cliff-hanging...and a closing scene that adds a new and sort of touching dimension to the characters of J and K."
Chicago Sun-Times
"[Sonnenfeld] has recovered some of the brashness and all of the unbridled affection for the weird, wonky otherworldly types that made the initial 1997 cosmic comedy such a kick."
Los Angeles Times
"[I]t's Josh Brolin, as the young Tommy Lee Jones, who steals MEN IN BLACK 3....He channels Jones' mannerisms, nails his Texan drawl and even rather eerily resembles the actor..."
USA Today
"What works, like comic hellfire, is the casting of Josh Brolin as the young Agent K. Brolin's take on Jones' deadpan delivery is spot-on and spectacularly funny."
Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 5 -- "Brolin is an excellent, unflappable replacement for Jones."
Box Office
"[Featuring] the jewel tones of Bill Pope's appealing cinematography. Other production elements, like Danny Elfman's score, continue the winning look and feel established in the first film."
Hollywood Reporter
"[T]he perfectly cast Brolin conveys hints of playfulness and warmth while staying true to the craggy stoicism at the characters core."
A.V. Club
"Among the many pleasures of MEN IN BLACK 3 is the nimble efficiency with which the movie reestablishes the old MIB conventions -- all those fabulously ornate Rick Baker-designed creatures, all that Jones crustiness and Smith slickness..." -- Grade: A-
