Aquaman follows Arthur Curry, a half-human, half-Atlantean who’s caught between two worlds. Raised on land by his lighthouse keeper father after the mysterious disappearance of his mother, Queen Atlanna, Arthur grows up unaware of his true destiny — to become ruler of Atlantis.
When his half-brother Orm, the Ocean Master, seeks to unite the underwater kingdoms and wage war on the surface, Arthur is pulled into an epic conflict. Guided by the fierce warrior Mera and royal advisor Vulko, Arthur must embrace his heritage and seek out the mythical Trident of Atlan — the only weapon powerful enough to challenge Orm’s reign.
Through breathtaking battles, ancient secrets, and a journey across both the surface and the seven seas, Arthur learns what it truly means to be king. Aquaman is a sweeping, visually stunning origin story that blends action, mythology, and heart — culminating in Arthur’s transformation into the hero he was always meant to be.
We rated Aquaman a 9/10 — a bold, visually dazzling adventure that delivers one of the most epic origin stories in the DC Extended Universe.
Director James Wan creates a fantastical underwater world unlike anything we’ve seen before, with vibrant kingdoms, sea creatures, and massive battle sequences that rival the best in the genre. The world-building is rich and immersive, making Atlantis feel alive and distinct from the rest of the DCEU.
Jason Momoa owns the role of Arthur Curry, bringing charisma, strength, and vulnerability to a character often mocked in pop culture. His chemistry with Amber Heard’s Mera is strong, and Patrick Wilson delivers a compelling villain as Orm, whose motivations are rooted in real-world environmental concerns.
The film mixes mythological elements with superhero spectacle, from gladiator duels to high-seas chases and a climactic underwater war. But at its core, Aquaman is a story about identity, belonging, and rising to meet your destiny.
It’s fun, heartfelt, and unafraid to lean into its fantasy roots. With its unique tone and world-class visuals, Aquaman stands tall as one of DC’s most enjoyable and ambitious films.
