Gallons of CGI

(Flash Review)
This is a visual smorgasbord of fantastic underwater places, people, creatures and action. What else would you expect? The story overview is Arthur Curry, who is born on land, discovers he is half human and half Atlanteean descent, which actually makes him heir to the throne of the kingdom of Atlantis. Neato! Bummer his mean half-brother Orm is currently ruling. So you guessed it, Arthur must discover his true purpose and ability while securing the throne. This was fun Hollywood action fluff with a decent story and oodles of 'mammouthly' majestic and spectacularly clichÃ© shots that came with such frequency it was a little bit corny and silly while mixing in intended dashes of humor. The water effects and accurate water physics were very well-done and spectacular yet a bit too glossy looking. Whatever, this is a popcorn movie so sit back and relax.
