Lying there Under, under the sea

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2019)

Aquaman of DC comics finally gets his top billing in a film as the nicely put together Jason Momoa plays the title role in this science fiction epic. Already a
sequel is in the works, in fact this film ends on an uncertain note setting up the
story line for the sequel.
Lighthouse keeper Temura Morrison finds a woman with a trident on his beach
and takes her in. Nicole Kidman is the woman and she's the queen of the under
sea kingdom of Atlantis and she's running away from all that. The two fall in
love and have a kid who grows up to be Jason Momoa.
But before that some Atlantian warriors show up and try to kidnap Kidman.
They're all killed, but Kidman decides to go back lest more come and harm her
son.
One would have to be blind not to miss the parallels between the story of the
Sword And The Stone and Aquaman. Momoa's earth name is Arthur Curry for
that matter. Now all grown up and quite fit and cut he's summoned to Atlantis to claim the crown. But first he has to find a magical trident stuck in a rock
somewhere in the sea. Can it get plainer than that.
Aquaman also has a surface enemy in the son of a pirate whose father he killed
when they were capturing a submarine.
I did like the computer graphic special effects.used and loved the fantasy sea
world that was created.
I can hardly wait for the sequel.
