Home is calling.
An action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking
underwater world of the seven seas, Aquaman reveals the origin story of
half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his
lifetime, one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to
discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be a king.
Critics Reviews for Aquaman:
- “Veteran cinematographer Don Burgess's widescreen images beguile,
and Bill Brzeski's production design impresses mightily, but next time,
someone please give Momoa and company some memorable dialogue.” –
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
- “In making the first DC superhero film in a long time to aspire to
anything like levity, Wan finds a way to catalyze what might have been yet
another dust-dry origin story.” – John Semley, Globe and Mail
- “Aquaman isn't all dumb fighting and arguing among sea-guys. The
movie's biggest selling points are its affable, bear-hug spirit and its lavish,
loopy visuals.” – Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
- “Aquaman works because it isn't laughing at itself-it's both joyously
whimsical and confident in its own sea-worthiness.” – David Sims, The
Atlantic
- “The saving grace of director James Wan's great-looking and
reasonably entertaining but also meandering and sometimes truly ridiculous
Aquaman is that everyone from screenwriters through the talented cast seems to
get the sheer, waterlogged lunacy…” – Richard Roeper, Chicago
