Alien at the Movies

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Aquaman (Jason Momoa) is back for a sequel where he is struggling as King of Atlantis & fatherhood with his new born son, Arthur Curry Jr. Returning also is David Kane seeking revenge on Aquaman & his family. When Kane obtains the Black Trident, he also receives special Atlantean powers, technology, & knowledge. Aquaman must free his imprisoned half brother Orm in order to stop the now superpowered Black Manta. Amber Heard has returned as Mera in a somewhat limited but key appearance. Who will survive in the battle that may save or destroy the world? The film is a bit overbloated with dizzying CGI battle sequences.

Alien gives it 2½ “Orichalcum” stars out of 4.
