First, an overview: our story followsĪrthur Curry (Jason Momoa, returning from Batman v Superman and Justice League), born to Atlanna, the estranged Queen of Atlantis (Nicole Kidman) and.a So, is this wildly profitable film any good? Not always, but Aquaman has a few things going for it. Yet as Suicide Squad and Man of Steel prove, ticket sales aren't With worldwide box-office totals that surpassed the likes of Wonder Woman and all three chapters of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy (not part of the DCEU, but still…). Nonetheless, Aquaman was warmly received by most audiences and critics Our title character is not the comic company's most popular or compelling figure, norĬould most casual fans name a single adversary without peeking. James Wan's Aquaman (2018) is the sixth installment in Warner Bros.' hit-or-miss "DC Extended Universe" saga which, by mostĪccounts, is the Pepsi to Marvel's clearly more popular Coke.

AQUAMAN BLURAY OR 4K DVD 1080P
Note: All screenshots are taken from the 1080p Blu-ray. Shame that can’t lift such a mirthless, insipid waste of two hours as Aquaman, but it is at least good demo material.Reviewed by Randy Miller III, March 21, 2019 It becomes tiring to the senses.Īlso, the majority of this disc is in the IMAX aspect ratio. My usual complaint is there isn’t enough bottom end (looking at you Infinity War), but here there’s way too much.
Outside of that specific effect there is barely a moment when the lowest of the low end (20-40hz) isn’t rumbling along about something. I felt it was a little heavy-handed on the LFE, though - I really wish the ‘BOOOOOW’ slow motion action sound would just die permanently. It looks and sounds incredible throughout. Like Haden Christensen in the Star Wars prequels - turns out he can act, but was poorly directed and delivering a god-awful script. Yeah there’s some downright bad acting in this if you watch closely. It’s trying to be all things and failing at any But now it doesn’t take itself seriously and so I can’t take seriously the heavier, totally humourless story moments. They throw (crap, tired, obvious) jokes in from time to time as if that’s what you’re supposed to do to please audiences. Or The Dark Knight, which delivers every last scene with absolute sincerity, to the point where we totally buy into this rich guy dressing as a bat. Take GOTG it knows it’s a comedy and it cleaves to that even to the point of some of the best comic moments occurring during the darker/more serious parts of the story. If you haven’t seen it, try guessing what happens? Have you guessed? Correct So predictable, so by the numbers, so lacking in any surprise or originality it’s barely worth turning up for. By the numbers at its best, tooth-grindingly awful the rest of the time Wow, this was a special kind of terrible.
Everything looked cheap, B-movie quality tat, shown up worse thanks to 4K.
