Review of Aquaman (2018) by Aled D — 06 Jan 2019
Im not one to give some meaningful comparison and dissertation based on the DC/ Marvel debate or the public perception of the quality of the DC franchise. Im into fun, escapism and enjoyment. Ive enjoyed elements of all recent DC films but this film captures an unusual blend of sci fi, fantasy ( a la Clash of the Titans), action and emotion that is not out of place on a Marvel movie and on a par with Guardians 1 or Wonderwoman.
Dont expect the Dark Knight or any messages here but it is clear that the director was not aiming for that. This is a crowdpleaser. The main stars are charismatic, the effects are great and the action holds up and the 4D screening outshone the 2D by a mile.
Needs a cinema screeing or at least a big 4k to 8k TV for the home cinema market.*****.
