Far better than expected- like Star Wars under the sea!

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2019)

I completely avoided this movie thinking another stupid superhero movie with a fish guy. Then saw a still of the visual effects of Atlantis created by ILM and thought might check it out just for the effects.
Boy was I in for a ride.
Utterly mind blowing in every way- sure the story is cliched and old as stories. Good vs Evil, love vs hate. But the fairly unique setting and the amazing cast and execution coupled with the most amazing effects work and fight scenes I have seen in a long time, make this ride well worth taking. Its almost like the first time you watch the original Star Wars. With sequences that made me think of George Lucas in his prime, the director and the filmmakers have done an amazing job.
Plus its got a great ending- not open-ended like the Marvel crap- its a solid happy ending like the first Star Wars.
just watch it.
