Amazing camera work, concept art and interesting Atlantian lore makes for a pretty unique Aquaman movie

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2019)

The plot is pretty straightforward, nothing wrong with it and actually features a very strong and satisfying ending after over 2 hours of film. Characters play their role and are sufficiently developed. Unfortunately I can't speak a lot about the acting, because I saw the translated version. Scenography is very good and stays true to the nature of the film.
However, as the title says, camera work is one of the things that is absolute astonishing about this movie. Visuals in this film (specially the one sorrounding Atlantian culture) are breathtaking and a delight to see. Fight scenes flow ridiculously smoothly, but I do have to admit there are moments where they overdo it, but I can count those with one hand's fingers. Weakest points of the visuals are Mera's eyes and the water flow effect that "zooms" on certain parts of the screen momentarily, it makes serious moments a bit ridiculous.
The ancient Atlantian history and folklore shown in the movie is really entertaining and grants a very entertaining trip through ancient Atlantian landmarks.
Overall, it's a pretty well thought-out and executed movie and its flaws, like overly dramatic scenes and terrible use of music, in come across as pretty meaningless in the bigger picture.
