Probably this year's best extravaganza

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2019)

No-one could safely complain about this movie. It's got everything. It's got a tidal wave, it's got vicious sharks, it's got as much colour underwater as Avatar's forests have luminescence at night, it's got as much action as two Bond movies and fantastic fight scene bashes, it has endless fantastical locations underwater and awesome scenic locations on land, it has better beasts than Harry Potter, and it has better submarines than Extraordinary Gentlemen. Quiet moments are rare, and in any case poignant. The water graphics are amazing, and often tasteful. I really don't understand critics who deride this work as too over the top. Over the top is the job of movies and the wonder of our age. If too much cgi bothers you, you should pay for a theatre ticket instead. What a relief this movie is, I can't thank it enough for being all in. A wondrous experience. This is the sort of movie that easily sustains itself for over two jaw-dropping hours. Punters should try to see it on the best quality, largest HD digital screen possible, preferably on Ultra 4D Blu-Ray. Buckle up.
