Men in Black 3

On July 16, 1969, Agent K apprehended the intergalactic criminal Boris the Animal at Cape Canaveral in Florida before setting up the ArcNet shield, which protected Earth from an invasion by Boris' species and rendered them extinct. Over 40 years later, Boris escapes from the Lunar Max prison facility on the Moon and arrives on Earth, with the intent on taking revenge on Kay - who took away his left arm during his arrest. After investigating a spaceship crash in New York City, Kay deduces that Boris has sprung out of prison, and he regrets not having killed him back in 1969.

The next day, Agent J notices that Kay is no longer in his apartment. He arrives at MIB headquarters to discover that Kay has been dead for over 40 years. Agent O, the new Chief after Agent Z's passing, deduces that there has been a fracture in the space-time continuum based on Jay's insatiable craving for chocolate milk to ameliorate his headaches. Jay comes to the conclusion that Boris acquired a time-jump device and traveled back to 1969 to kill Kay, resulting in an inevitable invasion of Earth due to the absence of the ArcNet. Jay goes to Obadiah Prince, a black market dealer who sold Boris the time-jump device, and acquires one of his own. As the time-jump device needs a certain amount of velocity to activate, Jay must jump off the Chrysler Building to make the time-travel. He travels to July 15, 1969 - one day before the incident involving Boris and Agent K.

Upon arriving at the timeline, Jay travels to Coney Island, knowing that Boris will be committing a murder based on the database records he accessed beforehand. However, a younger Kay arrests him and has him placed in a larger, more primitive Neuralyzer. At the very last second, Jay convinces Kay to stop the process when he reveals the truth of his mission. They eventually work together and follow Boris' trail. Their clues lead them to a prescient alien named Griffin, who is in possession of the ArcNet. Being able to look into multiple future outcomes and scenarios, he warns the two agents of Boris' impending arrival and hurriedly leaves the venue.


Based on the clues left for them, the Agents locate Griffin, who gives them the shield that has to be placed onto the Apollo 11 lunar rocket launch occurring in less than six hours. Upon arriving at Cape Canaveral, the two agents and Griffin are quickly arrested by military police. The Colonel in the scene, however, allows the two agents to carry on their mission after Griffin uses his precognitive power to show them what great men they are.

Jay and Kay arrive at the launch pad, but are confronted separately by both 1969 and modern-day incarnations of Boris. Modern-day Boris impales Jay with his spikes before they both fall off the pad; however, Jay uses the time-jump to travel back to the beginning of the fight and avoid the spikes before pushing the criminal off the pad into the fiery exhaust gases of the rocket. Meanwhile, as Kay battles the younger Boris, he ruptures a fueling hose, causing it to spray liquid nitrogen on 1969 Boris' left arm and shatter it. Kay then successfully plants the ArcNet on the rocket, which deploys after reaching the Earth's atmosphere. The Colonel congratulates Kay, who in turn invites him to join the agency. However, 1969 Boris emerges from the blast chamber and kills the Colonel before Kay disintegrates the criminal. A young boy, who turns out to be a prepubescent Jay, arrives at the launch site looking for his father, but is slowly coaxed away from the gruesome truth by Kay, who will later recruit him into the Agency.(Google)

Jay returns to the present day, where he meets up with his partner at the usual diner. There, he shows Kay his father's pocket watch. The senior agent, in return, tells him it was an honor to have met him that fateful day. As they leave the diner, Griffin - who is a few seats away, tells the viewer that all is well with the world, except for an inevitable asteroid impact on Earth because Kay forgot to leave a tip. But when Kay returns to leave his tip, the asteroid collides with a satellite, thus avoiding the catastrophe.

The Avengers still box office favourite
Marvel's The Avengers (titled Avengers Assemble in the UK and Ireland) is a 2012 American superhero film produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures1, based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. It is the sixth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is written and directed by Joss Whedon and features an ensemble cast that includes Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Stellan Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson. In The Avengers, Nick Fury, director of the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D., recruits Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk and Thor to form a team that must stop Thor's adoptive brother Loki from enslaving the human race.

Development of The Avengers began when Marvel Studios received a loan from Merrill Lynch in April 2005. After the success of the film Iron Man in May 2008, Marvel announced that The Avengers would be released in July 2011. With the signing of Johansson in March 2009, the film was pushed back for a 2012 release. Whedon was brought on board in April 2010 and rewrote the screenplay originally written by Zak Penn. Production began in April 2011 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, before moving to Cleveland, Ohio, in August and New York City in September. The film was converted to 3D in post-production.

The Avengers premiered on April 11, 2012, at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California. The film has received positive reviews from most film critics and set numerous box office records, including the biggest opening weekend in North America and the fastest film to gross over one billion dollars worldwide.

The Asgardian Loki encounters the Other, the leader of a warmongering alien race known as the Chitauri. In exchange for retrieving the Tesseract, a powerful energy source of unknown potential, the Other promises Loki a Chitauri army with which he can subjugate the Earth. Nick Fury, director of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., and his lieutenant Agent Maria Hill arrive at a remote research facility during an evacuation, where physicist Dr. Erik Selvig is leading a research team experimenting on the Tesseract. Agent Phil Coulson explains that the object has begun radiating an unusual form of energy. The Tesseract suddenly activates and opens a portal, allowing Loki to reach Earth. Loki takes the Tesseract and uses his scepter to enslave Selvig and several agents, including Clint Barton, to aid him in his getaway.

In response to the attack, Fury reactivates the "Avengers Initiative". Agent Natasha Romanoff is sent to India to recruit Dr. Bruce Banner; Coulson visits Tony Stark to have him review Selvig's research; and Fury approaches Steve Rogers with an assignment to retrieve the Tesseract. While Barton steals iridium needed to stabilize the Tesseract's power, Loki causes a distraction in Stuttgart, Germany, leading to a confrontation with Rogers, Stark, and Romanoff that ends with Loki's surrender. While Loki is being escorted to S.H.I.E.L.D., Thor, his adoptive brother, arrives and frees him hoping to convince him to abandon his plan and return to Asgard. After a confrontation with Stark and Rogers, Thor agrees to take Loki to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s flying aircraft carrier, the Helicarrier. There Loki is imprisoned while Banner and Stark attempt to locate the Tesseract.

The Avengers become divided, both over how to approach Loki and the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D. plans to harness the Tesseract to develop weapons as a deterrent against hostile extra-terrestrials. As the group argues, Barton, and Loki's other possessed agents, attack the Helicarrier, disabling its engines in flight and causing Banner to transform into the Hulk. Stark and Rogers try to restart the damaged engines, and Thor attempts to stop the Hulk's rampage. Romanoff fights Barton, and knocks him unconscious, breaking Loki's mind control. Loki escapes after killing Coulson and ejecting Thor from the airship, while the Hulk leaves of his own accord. Fury uses Coulson's death to motivate the Avengers into working as a team. Stark and Rogers realize that simply defeating them will not be enough for Loki; he needs to overpower them publicly to validate himself as ruler of Earth. Loki uses the Tesseract, in conjunction with a device Selvig built, to open a portal above Stark Tower to the Chitauri fleet in space, launching his invasion.

The Avengers
rally in defense of New York City, but quickly realize they will be overwhelmed as wave after wave of Chitauri descend upon Earth. With help from Barton, Rogers, Stark, and Thor evacuate civilians, while Banner transforms back into the Hulk and goes after Loki, eventually beating him into submission. Romanoff makes her way to the portal, where Selvig, freed of Loki's control, reveals that Loki's scepter can be used to close the portal. Meanwhile, Fury's superiors attempt to end the invasion by launching a nuclear missile at Manhattan. Stark intercepts the missile and takes it through the portal toward the Chitauri fleet. The missile detonates, destroying the invaders' lead ship, thereby disabling their forces on Earth. Stark's suit runs out of power and he falls back through the portal, but the Hulk saves him from crashing to the ground. Romanoff deactivates the portal to prevent further invasion. In the aftermath, Thor returns Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard. Fury notes that the Avengers will return when they are needed.
