Arthur Curry is the child of two worlds- human and Atlantean. Raised on land, he largely spurns his sea heritage (he's the queen's son) until forced to do so; his half-brother, King Orm, is trying to unite the peoples of the sea to attack the land. To stop him, Arthur- or Aquaman- must locate the hidden Trident of Magical Powers (or whatever). But it won't be easy; a sea pirate is after him looking for revenge. Armed with Atlantean tech, this Black Manta will prove a formidable foe. Who will prevail?
I missed Aquaman in theaters. I wished I missed it on blu-ray. This movie fails on many fronts:
- the plot/character development is rushed (two antagonists don't help)
- the acting and dialogue are poor
- there are bizarre plot elements or gaps
As my wife observed, it tries to be epic but comes off as comical (and not in a good way). For some reason, this did better in theaters than Justice League, but it's not worth your time. The DC Expanded Universe needs a reboot.
