Avatar, but Underwater

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2019)

With Jason Momoa as Aquaman himself and Amber Heard casted as the beautiful Mera, you already know it's going to be a good looking movie. Knowing that James Wan is more of a horror producer than an action movie director, he did a good job tackling this installment. Bringing in Patrick Wilson as Kind Orm was a good tribute to having him be familiar within Wan's work. In general, the movie was great action packed adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the idea of Atlantis and how the characters looked underwater as well as their relationships with the different characters to see how they played within the story line. However, the CGI has been getting slightly more noticeable within the last couple movies that I have seen. Some of the stunts preformed in this movie that should have either injured the character or end up in a fatality, to return a few scene later didn't feel authentic. If you have seen Avatar, directed by James Cameron there is no doubt to where Wan got his inspiration from. Aquaman's Atlantis has the same feel as if you were in the land of Pandora, but just underwater. All in all, a great addition to the DC universe and can't wait to see what comes next.
