Throne of Atlantis


Throne of Atlantis, a DC animated picture, gives the backstory of Arthur Curry, better known to comics fans as Aquaman.  Mourning his recently-deceased father, Arthur is low.  His world is changed, though, when he learns that his mother is Queen of Atlantis, the legendary undersea kingdom.  All is not well under the waves, however; his half-brother yearns for the throne, and will stop at nothing- even starting a war with the 'surface-dwellers'- to obtain it.  Can Aquaman and the rest of the Justice League make things right?

This movie was okay, not great.  Some dialogue was lame, and scenes silly- I think unintentionally so, but it's hard to know (example: at one point, Aquaman puts a lobster in his pants (seriously)).  The animation was so-so, the story average.  Not one of the better DC offerings.

Rating: C+
