Bahasa Indonesia:
Sosok alien jahat yang bernama Boris (Jemaine Clement) berhasil kabur dari tahanan khusus mahluk asing yang berlokasi di bulan, demi menuntaskan dendamnya kepada agen K karena telah memenjarakan dan memutuskan salah satu tangannya.
Boris memiliki rencana licik dengan menggunakan mesin waktu untuk pergi ke tahun 1969 sebelum agen K berhasil membekuk dan memutuskan tangannya. Misi Boris tersebut ternyata tidak sia-sia karena dirinya sukses membunuh agen K demi menguasai bumi dan umat manusia.
Sementara itu, agen J (Will Smith) mulai merasakan sesuatu hal yang ganjil karena secara mendadak partnernya tersebut dianggap telah wafat 40 tahun yang lalu ditangan Boris. Padahal sehari sebelumnya, agen J dan K sempat menjalankan tugas rutin bersama. Pada akhirnya, agen J mengetahui kalau Boris pergi ke masa lalu dan membunuh partnernya tersebut. Ketika kondisi bumi mulai kritis, agen J turut pergi ke masa lalu sebelum Boris membunuh agen K muda (Josh Brolin).
Kisah dari Men in Black III tentu sangat jauh berbeda dari sebelumnya. Di film ini, sutradara Barry Sonnenfeld menampilkan para agen MIB versi klasik khas tahun 1969. Meskipun kostum yang dikenakan tidak jauh berbeda, namun kendaraan dan sejata yang mereka gunakan terlihat lebih jadul meskipun kala itu peralatan MIB masih tergolong cukup canggih di era 60-an.
Salah satu hal yang paling menarik dari cerita film MIB III adalah, tentang dikupasnya profil mengenai agen J dan K secara lebih mendalam. Penonton nantinya akan mengerti mengapa karakter agen K selalu bersikap dingin dan nyaris tanpa ekspresi. Selain itu, pertanyaan yang selalu ada di benak agen J mulai terungkap pada saat proses perjalanan waktu ke masa agen K masih muda.
Sesuai dengan karakter Will Smith, film MIB III tentu masih mempertahankan unsur komedi yang terdapat di dalamnya lewat tingkah kocak karakter agen J. Tidak lupa juga, di seri ketiga Men in Black ini, terdapat cameo dari salah satu penyanyi wanita kontroversial yang karirnya sedang naik daun di tahun 2012.
Secara keseluruhan, film MIB III berhasil membuat perubahan yang sangat mengesankan. Dan bagi para pecinta MIB tentu tidak boleh melewatkan film ketiganya ini karena terdapat kisah yang berkelanjutan dari seri sebelumnya. Apakah agen J berhasil menyelamatkan nyawa agen K? jawabnya hanya bisa diketahui dengan menyaksikan film Men in Black III yang mulai tayang di bioskop Tanah Air pada hari ini 23 Mei 2012.
English Language:
When last
seen, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) were...well, can anyone
remember what the Men in Black were doing a decade ago in "Men in Black
II"?
Aside,
that is, from keeping the peace on Earth between humans and aliens, waving
neuralizers around to wipe out people's memories, and bickering in the way of
odd-couple partners in comedies? With so many movie extraterrestrials to keep
track of over the past 10 years, even a studious "MIB" fan can be
excused for feeling a bit neuralized too. Among the many pleasures of "Men in Black 3" (available in hip-and-happening 3-D) 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 -- and then just as
gracefully finds something new to do with the boys and their Ray-Bans.
To
move forward, the story jumps backwards -- to the summer of 1969, when the Mets
were destined to win the World Series and astronauts were preparing to walk on
the moon. The first time 1969 came around, K put the Mad Max-ish alien known as
Boris the Animal (a tasty role for "Flight of the Conchords'" Jemaine
Clement) in prison.
Now,
some 40 years later, Boris has busted out of the clink -- on the moon, by the
way -- and slipped through the space-time continuum back to 1969, intent on
killing K. So MIB's present-day chief, O (Emma Thompson), dispatches Agent J to
do a quick job of tinkering with history, safeguarding the world, and rescuing
his partner, all without getting trapped in 1969 for good.
This is a winning plan for a lot of reasons, beginning with the axiom that,
as the crew of the USS Enterprise demonstrated in "Star Trek IV: The
Voyage Home" back in ancient 1986, it's always fun when fancy folks from
the sci-fi future are forced to fumble with the less elegant technology of the
past. Working with a model screenplay by Etan Cohen (who co-wrote the brilliant
"Tropic Thunder"), "MIB's" auteur director Barry Sonnenfeld
captures the nostalgic hopefulness of the era.
But most of all, "MIB3" is one
giant leap for mankind because Josh Brolin shows up to play the younger Agent
K. And he just nails the feat, triumphantly creating a riff on/homage to the
Tommy Lee Jones-ness of K that goes much deeper (and funnier) than a simple
imitation of drawl and speech patterns. Brolin conjures up a man in full, just
as taciturn but not nearly as closed as the craggy puss he is when Jones does
the squinting.
It's a great performance, one for the
thespian yearbook. And, as happens in the best of cases, Brolin raises his
costar's game. For an African-American Hollywood superstar like Smith, marching
his character backwards to 1969 presents unique opportunities for social
commentary on changing perceptions of American black men. Smith makes big
statements with the most casual and charming of reactions and line readings.
Sonnenfeld and Cohen move their baby along
with an integrity and gait that ought to serve as a blueprint for other
filmmakers faced with the particular challenges of reviving big-ticket and
time-dated hunks of pop culture. Amid the mayhem, the movie is sophisticated
enough to note the family resemblance between Rick Baker-stitched aliens and
the human creatures who populated Andy Warhol's Factory in the downtown Manhattan of 1969.
And even while Brolin's K is embroiled in
a high-tension climactic showdown with Boris -- at Cape Canaveral, on the day
the Apollo 11 crew blasted off for the moon -- there's air and space enough in
the movie to evoke the real awe of that day, that time. The film isn't afraid
of emotional truth. Which is why, in the end, "Men in Black 3" would
be nothing without the participation of the alien called Griffin.
Played with melting sweetness
by the wonderful Michael Stuhlbarg, Griffin has the gift -- and curse -- of
seeing the future, or, more specifically, seeing multiple, equally possible
futures, some swell and some less so. Griffin's eyes are a misty blue, and he
wears a little wool hat and a perpetual worried smile. He's gentle and patient
and he wishes the best for humankind, but he can't guarantee it. Likewise,
there was no guarantee that after so long an absence, there would be anything
fresh to say about "Men in Black." Yet behold, it is good.Video Trailer 1:
