    Storyline

    Edit
    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.

    Power Rangers That Was Supposed To Be Under Water
    But ended up being on the beach sun tanning and on the whole stretch of sandy beach not a single soul walks or drives by. Just lame.

    I miss the old cartoons.

    I bet $ (come on director/script writer man up and take my bet) that no one associated with this used to watch the toons or read the comics.
