Born upon the shores of the surface world, Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) discovers that he is only half human, with the other half of his blood being of Atlanteean descent, thus making him the rightful heir to the throne of the undersea kingdom of Atlantis. However, Arthur learns that Atlantis is being ruled by his malicious half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson), who seeks to unite the seven underwater kingdoms and wage war upon the surface. With aid from Nuidis Vulko (Willem Dafoe) and the gorgeous Mera (Amber Heard), Arthur must discover the full potential of his true destiny and become Aquaman in order to save Atlantis and the surface from Orm's evil plot. —Blazer346

Trivia
Jason Momoa specifically requested Temuera Morrison, one of Momoa's acting idols, for the role of Arthur's father Tom Curry.

Goofs
The ancient peoples are described as not knowing the world is round, but in fact, even in ancient Greek culture, such was the knowledge and philosophical assumption on aesthetic grounds, since a sphere is the most perfect shape. This was reinforced by empirical evidence from lunar eclipses, and changes in the night sky when travelling south - then Eratosthenes used angles of shadows cast at noon to correctly calculate a circumference of about 25,000 miles.

Quotes
Queen Atlanna: I am Atlanna, Queen of Atlantis.
Thomas Curry: I am Thomas, Keeper of Lighthouse.

Crazy credits
SPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: Black Manta is rescued by Dr Stephen Shin.

Alternate versions
The UK theatrical version was cut to remove bloody detail to secure a 12A rating. That version was also used for the home media release.

A good start

I thought it was good for an origin story, yes the lines in there were super cheesy at times but it had heart. Surprisingly you really connected with Aquaman's parents just as much as you connected with Aquaman and Mera, perhaps even more which was kind of strange. I would've liked to of seen a lot more depth between Aquaman and Mera with their relationship too, the way it is in the comics. The third act of the film is boring as well. It feels like you're watching a Pirates of the Caribbean type movie or a Disney made film, which probably makes comic book fans upset considering this was an origin story about a super manly dude. The villains are both great though which helps the story. Absolutely colorful and fun with great effects and very original.
