DVD commentary

Ant-Man (2015, USA) asks if taking a second chance is worth it, if given the opportunity.
The opportunity does not seem that appealing, though.

To take his opportunity, ex-convict Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) will have to become inconspicuous, and insignificant, as the size of an ant and the incredible power of one.

He will have to get into a corporation that’s using Dr. Hank Pym’s secret formula. The formula in the corporation’s hands threatens world security.
Scott as Ant-Man will go in unseen, but will have to hurdle over a variety of ‘everyday’ obstacles that fully grown humans take for granted. He must face the challenges of avoiding getting sucked down bath holes, getting drowned by showers, navigating sewers, and passing through gardens, as well as navigating the ins and outs of buildings. Seems easy, but would we take the opportunity? Scott’s ‘rare’ chance seems a no-brainer. Who would really go ahead with it, even if becoming as small as an ant could really happen? What if you lost your life? But his smallness is what can get the job done, as well as using has ‘special skills’ in the process. Ultimately, what has an ex-convict got to lose? Ant-Man does raise an issue, despite its implausibility (but believable special visual effects): if we were ‘down in the dumps’ or an outcast of society would we take someone’s offer of redemption?
