Entertaining, visually stunning, and really predictable

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2018)

I sat sanwiched between my 20 year old daughter and her 13 year old half brother, and they both fell asleep in the middle of this movie! That was surprising because the movie didn't have a dull moment, and was visually amazing. But maybe that was part of the reason: an overload of CGI, anti-aging, and failing to slow down long enough for us to really connect to the characters.
The pros:
Colorful visuals and unique underwater effects.
Fast pacing.
Diverse characters and creatures.
Some fan throwbacks, like the Aquaman telepathy rings.
The cons:
Too much cgi, making it too unbelievable.
Acting was mediocre.
Plot was predicatable.
Time was irrelevant and not respected.
Faces looked almost animated and unrealistic (if that's what saltwater does for aging, I'm in!)
The distinction between humans and meta humans was not always respected, as humans thrown and beaten severely often get right back up and continue the fight. And the unclear rule about who can or cannot breathe above water was not well thought out (they all evolved from land, but then devolved?)
Overall, it was entertaining, but nowhere close to Wonder Woman. I may have even liked Justice League more than this one. Go see it in the theater for the visuals, especially if you have passes or discounts. Eat some popcorn and turn your inner critic off, and you'll enjoy it enough!
