Men In Black 3


Humans and other life forms have continued to thrive on planet Earth. But that’s only because unbeknownst to most, the evil Boglodite known as Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement) has been firmly chained, contained and locked away in a maximum security space prison on the moon called Lunar Max. Boris has spent the past 40 years scheming for his revenge against K, the MIB Agent responsible for his maiming and degrading incarceration. See, back then Agent K disrupted Boris the Animal’s alien invasion plans for earth; he also shot Boris’ left arm off in the process and then arrested him.
Today a small spaceship has crashed in an industrial area somewhere in New York City. MIB units are on site for clean-up and containment, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) calls for attention while Agent J (Will Smith) uses his handy dandy Neuralizer on a gathered crowd of inquisitive bystanders and then J explains the crash as being fallen satellite wreckage. He follows Agent K away and they leave the scene discussing tonight’s upcoming event. The department has lost a fine commander, Agent Zed has passed away and K claims to have written a very moving eulogy for tonight’s memorial back at headquarters where we’ll also get to meet MIB’s new chief Agent O (Emma Thompson), who has become Z’s replacement. After the ceremony Agent O calls to inform K and J about recent reports of several humans suffering from alien parasites. They go to WU’S Seafood Restaurant where K suspects the owner of serving contaminated food to the customers, but while inspecting fish tanks in the kitchen, K discovers that WU may be involved in cooking up an even more dangerous meal. Several minutes later Agent O calls and confirms his suspicions, she informs him that the crashed spaceship from this morning was stolen by Boris the Animal after he escaped from Lunar Max. And as fate would have it, within the next several minutes Agent K is once again face to face with the dreaded Boglodite. Boris is about to release a deadly spray of spikes to kill K, but Agent J bursts through a steel door just in time to saves his life. After the commotion ends both Agents go back into WU’S and while MIB units clean up the area Agent K is reminiscing old regrets. J wants to go after Boris and he tries to get K to explain what happened 40 years ago, but K has been keeping a painful secret that he refuses to share, so he tells J to mind his own business and as J continues to pressure him; K ends the discussion by suspending J for the next 4 weeks. None of this settles well with Agent J, so he goes back to headquarters to do some research on the matter. Eventually he reaches a restricted area in the data files and (to his surprise) despite his senior agent Top-Secret security clearance level, his access is still denied. Shortly Agent O walks in and J soon discovers that she and K have a long history together that goes wayyy back, never the less; she’s of no help and is no more willing to discuss the past than K was, she sends him home with a word of advice, “Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answers to.” J takes her advice and goes home to unwind by playing videogames when the phone rings, its K and he’s finally ready to share some secretes of the Universe but J is being stubborn and he hangs up the phone before K can begin. On the other end K is both disappointed and yet relieved (he never really wanted to tell J anything about this part of the past) he knows Boris will be coming for him soon and he intends to be prepared when that event happens. However, K had no idea what Boris has in store for him so there was no way he could have been fully prepared. All of the sudden, BAM, and in an instant everything has changed! Well everything that is, except for Agent J’s memory.
The next morning J goes to visit K to get things straightened out, but when the door opens there’s some strange woman holding a baby and K is nowhere in sight; suddenly he begins to crave chocolate milk and he isn’t feeling very well. J needs answers so he immediately goes to headquarters to find out what’s going on! While inside, a strange man races to join him in the elevator, this man will not shut up; they finally reach the bottom floor where a different man informs J that Agent AA is his partner, J is looking for K but no one seems to know who K is. He begins to assume that the department is playing a joke on him. Moments later, Agent O walks up and agrees to take him to K. She leads him to a crystal headstone and explains that Agent K has been dead for 40 years; she further leads him to a computer and commands the data concerning Agent K and Boris the Animal, the computer displays a report explaining that Boris killed Agent K at Cape Canaveral in July of 1969. J demands that report untrue and after a bunch of senseless babbling and a split second gulping on a tall glass of chocolate milk, Agent O forcibly slaps him across his cheek, “Damnit it’s not the tic!” She tells him he may have been involved in a break in the timeline. After further explanation, J realizes that in order for him to save Agent K, he will have to travel back through time to July 15th, 1969 and somehow find a way to stop Boris before he kills K.
