Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world. [The film follows] Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus' plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren't bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.

Hard to believe that they cut some villains from the movie but was nice to see the 1994 F4 show up in the movie.

Just finished watching F4 and this was a great film, better than they other 4.

I will write more later, there are 2 post- credit scenes.

Mid-credit scene takes place 4 years after the battle and leads into Avengers: Doomsday.

The after credit scene is the in-universe F4 cartoon and they show most of the mentioned villains in cartoon form. So you do not have to stay and watch this and can wait till it gets released for home viewing.
