Summaries

Plot Summary

A monstrous alien entity is shown to devour entire planets. A Silver Surfer helps the entity to scout for new worlds to consume. The Silver Surfer roams the cosmos and arrives at Earth.As Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) and Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) prepare for their wedding, a silver object enters Earth's atmosphere, radiating cosmic energy (similar to one that gave the Fantastic Four their powers) that creates massive molecular fluctuations, climate anomalies, electrical blackouts and causes deep craters at locations across the Earth. The craters are 200 meters in diameter. The US government represented by General Hager (Andre Braugher) approaches Richards to track and identify the movements of the object. Reed initially refuses, to appease Sue who feels he is again starting to neglect her for his science projects, however, he surreptitiously builds a radar tracker which will locate the object, as the Army requests. Johnny Storm wants Reed to take on more celebrity endorsements to try and commercialize their popularity and fund his science inventions. Johnny also has the hots for Captain Rae (Beau Garrett), but she completely ignores him.Johnny decides to auction off exclusive photos of the wedding to the highest bidder. During the wedding, Reed's systems detect the phenomenon approaching the city, and as a result the city suffers a blackout, creating chaos and damage, which the Fantastic Four try to minimize. Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) pursues the object, discovering it to be a silvery humanoid riding a flying surfboard. The "Silver Surfer" drags Johnny into the upper atmosphere then drops him back toward Earth. During his fall Johnny finds his abilities fluctuating, and barely manages to survive the fall, successfully flying at the last minute.Later, Sue and Johnny switch powers when they touch, prompting Reed to examine Johnny revealing that exposure to the Surfer has set Johnny's molecular structure in flux, allowing him to switch powers with his teammates through physical contact. Tracing the cosmic energy of the Surfer, Reed discovers that a series of planets the alien had visited have all been destroyed. Everywhere the Silver Surfer goes, 8 days later, the planet dies. Meanwhile the Surfer sends out a summons into deep space to the alien monster, conveying that another world is ready for his consumption. The Surfer also destroys the radar tracker that Reed built, indicating that it does not want its movements to be tracked.The Surfer has been creating deep artificial craters around the globe. Reed determines that the next crater will appear in London, and the team travel there. They arrive too late to stop the crater, and the river Thames drains into it. Afterwards, both Reed and Sue contemplate abandoning their lives as superheroes in order to provide a normal life to raise a family.The Surfer's movements around the globe bring him past Latveria, where the cosmic energy affects Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon), freeing him from two years as a metal statue. Doom, able to move again but scarred, traces the Surfer to the Russell Glacier and makes him an offer to join forces. When the Surfer rebuffs him, Doom attacks. The Surfer returns fire, blasting Doom through the ice. The cosmic energy of the Surfer's blast heals Doom's body.Doom leverages his experience into a deal with the American military led by General Hager, who force the Fantastic Four to work with Doom. Deducing that the Surfer's board is the source of his power, Reed develops a Tachyon pulse generator that will separate him from it, while Victor works on an unknown remote-like machine. The Four continue to track the Silver Surfer and reach the Black Forest, Germany, to implement their plan at the edge of a crater. In the Black Forest, Sue is confronted by the Surfer, during which he reveals he is merely a servant to the destroyer of worlds and regrets the destruction he causes.The military opens fire on the Surfer, which distracts him and allows the four to fire the pulse, separating the Surfer from his board. The military imprisons the Surfer in Siberia, while they torture him for information. Sue does not agree with torturing the Silver Surfer and displays sympathy towards it. Sue uses her powers to sneak into his cell, where she learns more information from the Surfer. He tells her his master was known by the people of his world as Galactus, a massive cloud-like cosmic entity which feeds on life-bearing planets to survive (it needs both thermal and organic energy to thrive), and that his board is a homing beacon which is summoning Galactus to the planet. The Silver Surfer has to serve Galactus who will otherwise destroy not only his loved ones but his planet. The Surfer admits that Sue reminds him of his beloved back home. The Surfer says that Galactus has almost reached Earth and planet has only a few hours left.Doom, using the device he created earlier, steals the board from the compound, killing the majority of the Army presence (including General Hager) there at the same time. As soon as Doom steps on the board, he has access to limitless power and is himself indestructible. The Fantastic Four rescue the Surfer, and pursue Doom in the Fantasticar, confronting him in Shanghai. During the battle, Sue is mortally wounded. With the Surfer powerless, Johnny absorbs the combined powers of the entire team in order to battle the cosmic energy-empowered Doom.Johnny succeeds in breaking Doom's control over the Surfer's board, and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) uses a nearby crane to knock Doom into the harbor, however, Galactus has already arrived, and Sue dies in Reed's arms. The Surfer regains the control of his board, and his power is restored. He revives Sue and chooses to defend Earth, flying into Galactus. The conflict results in a massive blast of energy that engulfs Galactus in a cosmic rift, and apparently kills the Surfer as well.Reed and Sue get married in Japan. The credits cut back to a shot of the Silver Surfer's seemingly lifeless body floating through space, but his eyes open and his board races towards him.

Storyline

Everything seems to be going great for the Fantastic Four. Reed and Sue are finally getting married, and things couldn't seem better. However, when the mysterious Silver Surfer crashes things, they learn that they will have to deal with an old foe, and the powerful planet eating Galactus. — ahmetkozan After defeating Von Doom, the Fantastic Four can really enjoy life more. All four are now comfortable with their new powers. The Thing and Johnny Storm now get along with each other, and Sue Storm is now planning to be Mrs. Fantastic. Galactus, an evil creature in space, has decided that Earth is its new target, and sends the Silver Surfer to destroy it. Reed Richards and his team must now work together to capture this surfer, and even must now team up with one individual who they didn't expect to help. — Film_Fan After the fierce battle with Dr Doom in Fantastic Four (2005) , the world's incredible quartet of defenders is up against with yet another threat. As a series of widespread anomalies and massive sinkholes coincide with the arrival of the intergalactic harbinger of destruction known as the Silver Surfer, the Fantastic Four, and the world, must brace for the worst. Now, a fragile alliance with a despised adversary seems like the only way to avert the end of cosmos; however, Reed, and the others, already know that there's more to the suspiciously willing supporter than meets the eye. Can humankind survive the attack of Silver Surfer's master, Galactus, the devourer of worlds? — Nick Riganas
