Engaging cast but too much CGI

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2018)

Jason Momoa and Amber Heard are really likeable and engaging but I found the CGI to be distracting and overwhelming in places. It should enhance reality, not be so far removed that it becomes ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous, Amber Heard's character, Mera, is absolutely awesome... so why did they dress her up in an unspeakably old-fashioned catsuit that's all cleavage and high heels? Plus Arial hair? Who the hell goes out to fight dressed like that? Even superheroes need some self respect. This to me seemed totally outdated, particularly post me-too. Grow up, Hollywood. Women need to see cool women in films too, you know, and they don't all need to be the same 1960s stereotype. 52% of the world population is female and here we have only 2 female characters (amazing actresses, both) and thousands of men. This is so tiresome.
