I was invited to attend the movie premier.

The Men in Black have expanded to cover the globe, but so have the scum of the universe. And to keep us safe, decorated Agent H (Chris Hemsworth) and determined rookie M (Tessa Thompson) are partnered – an unlikely pairing that just might work. As they face a new alien threat that can take the form of anyone, including MIB agents, they must join forces on a globetrotting adventure to save the agency and ultimately the world.

Building upon the idea that there are aliens from other worlds living among us, MIB: International introduces new agents, weapons, aliens and locations, while bringing together some of today’s most in-demand and talented actors, including Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson as the titular heroes, Agents H and M, with Emma Thompson reprising her role as the head of MIB, and Liam Neeson, Rebecca Ferguson, Kumail Nanjiani also taking on key roles.

Barry Sonnenfeld directed the first three MIB’s; this one’s handled by F. Gary Gray (“The Fate of the Furious,” “Straight Outta Compton”), from a script by “Iron Man” scribes Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. Thompson plays Molly, who encounters a friendly alien as a child. Twenty years later, she lands her dream job when Agent O  takes a chance on the brainy, driven, socially isolated woman before her.

Teamed up with Agent H (Chris Hemsworth), M travels the world in search of a mole within the organization now run by High T (Liam Neeson). The Hive, a shape-shifting alien race, is causing trouble and threatening Earth’s existence. The movie skips from New York to London to Marrakech to Paris to Naples,  Rebecca Ferguson shows up as a three-armed intergalactic arms dealer and former interest of the Hemsworth character.

This movie is fun and has a ton of action. It strikes the right balance and tones in the characters. Tessa Thompson is a hit in this movie. She is such a natural in the role and really is enjoyable to watch in this role.
