Marvel Studios officially kicked off Phase Six of its cinematic universe with the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the film is already garnering solid reviews and a strong start at the box office. The cast is terrific across the board, and the production design is, well, pretty darn fantastic, evoking Disney's Tomorrowland (the park, not the film) with its 1960s retro-alt-future aesthetic.

Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster
