Aquaman (DVD)

They couldn't have gotten a sexier man to do this part. LOVED the movie and he makes my insides run wild. Took me forever to watch this movie as I just had an opportunity to watch it for free.

I was fascinated by the underwater scenes - how on earth did they film them! The story was great too.

All the way engaged

Brought this one and second one fantastic movie night

I came across the movie after I accidentally discovered the theme song, All I need by Skylar Grey, which BTW to me is probably going to be a classic song. Also reading the title I was sort of reminded of the director. I eventually decided to watch it after seeing several MVs of the song (most of course are clips & renderings of the movie). And I got to say I'm not disappointed, as my first DCEU movie. (I usually watch exclusively Marvel ones as they have just dominated at least in my circle for too long)So first of all, at least compared to Marvel & other superhero movies I watched. This IS very DIFFERENT. Compared to others it is a lot lighter and NOT that serious. In some ways, you can say that many other sci-fis are like nerds, (but are more like great teachers), as they talk about a lot of very crazy stuff with great amount of details and scientific reasoning, etc. Instead, this movie put a great emphasis on emotions, especially 'like father like son', both the lighthouse keeper & Arther himself had a very great relationship with their girls, Queen Atlenna and Princess Mera respectably. And yes, certain dialogues and scenes are so unserious that it almost seem parody-like. Such as when Mera murmured 'if you're the real king then we're really doomed', referring to how silly Arthur can be from time to time. And when the Queen woke up in the morning she interacted with that golden puppy. But my life experience tells me that those imperfections of a characters make them charismatic. Don't you see, (via YouTube pranks or others), that sometimes being a little 'silly' and 'annoying' makes some of the best couples. Especially when the guy acts a little 'silly' annoying his girlfriend or wife. And I know this statement is politically controversial itself, but we do see now, a lot of economic & political leaders gained popularity by NOT showing a bright, flawless (but distant side, that's why they win over those classic 'elite' challengers). So my advice is that if you want to enjoy this movie (or any movie in general), try to put aside expectations via genres. For this one, try to see it with a little taste of soap opera, urban drama, etc. As I think that the relationship parts of it is truly a crown jewel of this movie and is the key of understanding and enjoying it.To respond to some critics, it seems that a lot of those who're critical are critical about certain actors. For example I think a lot of people are annoyed by Nicole Kidman's appearance, which tbh I have no idea y. I personally think she did a great job. Also for those who says too much CGIs, too much special effects, well, I don't know why but I happen to be not so sensitive to that. And as someone who's 'progressive' on technology adaptation, I personally recognizes and approve of using technology to make acting & producing easier, like in this case, filming a world 'underwater' without actors actually going anyway near, or even putting filming devices under actual water. However my two pieces is that some would appreciate more if the actors and producers actually do a lot more jobs themselves? To feel more 'real' to some sharper eyes, and probably are more acceptable. But for me, I'd just enjoy what technology can bring us.So overall I really enjoyed this movie. I like how it portrays a superhero film in a very unique way. I'd still argue that this is something worth a watch!

A great movie and a CD at a great price

I'll start by saying I'm a huge DC comics fan. And growing up I adored Aquaman. Admittedly, I wasn't sure Momoa would be a very good Aquaman but a lot of people liked him (I sort of wasn't sure how I felt in his appearance in Justice League), so I went into this film without any expectations at all. I wanted to like it but I kept my expectations low. I didn't know if this would be a well crafted film like Man of Steel and Wonder Woman, or a bomb like most of the things featuring Ben Afflick as Batman. Sadly, I could tell immediately that the film lacked a strong presence like many of the Marvel films because of the director. The scenes seemed overly staged and almost campy. And like Steppenwolf in the Justice League film, the CGI was pretty awful! The initial actor's face looks waxy and 3D instead of realistic and I was like, hmmm, I bet they de-aged him for when Arthur grows up. Sure enough, the actor is "human" again when we reach the present. The action scenes are a combination of sometimes good (Aquaman's mom Kidman early in the film) and pretty disappointing (the submarine interior). I can see that the actors themselves are fairly decent for the most part, the director doesn't hamper them too much (except Momoa who feels really 2D/fake), but I wondered if Marvel scooped up all the fantastically talented black actors because the gentlemen cast in this film (Michael Beach is a decent TV actor but Yahya Abdul-Mateen II...wtf?) lacked the stage presence of amazing actors like Chadwick Boseman or (one of my personal favorite actors) Idris Elba! Truthfully, DC films have a real problem casting secondary (and even primary) characters. Cavell and Gadot have been perfect for their roles and do a wonderful job. The best Superman and Wonder Woman EVER! Admittedly, Batman has always been hard to cast and I've never been satisfied with any of the litany of mediocre fits (Bale was the closest I thought). While he may be a decent actor, I'm also tired of Willem Dafoe and while Dolph Lundgren tried hard, his acting has always been a bit wooden. I think Momoa is a decent actor and while not my visual idea of Aquaman, I think the director ruined him in this film. I think he's too campy for Aquaman, trying to be much less boring (admittedly, the comic book Arthur Curry of the 1960/70s was as wholesome and bland as Superman of that time) than his comic book origins. I didn't hate the movie, but I was very much aware that I was watching a movie and not lost in it like I have been in most of the other DC films (except scenes with Ben Afflick which always feel a poor fit). I was torn between 2 stars for such bad directing and 3 stars because it has moments that are good, and erred on the side of being generous.

I love the excitement of the movie

Senza entrare nel merito del film, che trovo molto godibile, non possono non spendersi parole di elogio per questo prodotto fatto a regola d'arte.Uno dei rarissimi blu ray ultra HD che nel nostro paese ha ricevuto un trattamento da manuale.Un comparto video meraviglioso, denso e profondo, valorizzato ancora di più dell'HDR, che conferisce una linfa unica alle palette di colori del film, ai dettagli dei volti, alle molteplici particolarità dei ricchi paesaggi. Un orgasmo per gli occhi incontrovertibile, considerando anche lo switch video a 1:78 (cioè a tutto schermo) che rende l'avventura, soprattutto per le sequenze negli abissi, ancora più coinvolgente.Fattore ancor più lodevole è, non solo, la presenza di una traccia audio HD ma addirittura la presenza di una traccia in Dolby Atmos a 7.1 canali, in italiano (!); con un impianto adeguato a casa, rivivrete semplicemente l'esperienza del cinema.Considerandolo forse un prodotto più unico che raro nel nostro paese, non si può non consigliare l'acquisto di blu ray così ben fatto.Stupendo.

Bello ma se il lettore blu ray non è 4k non viene decifrato e non lo si riesce a vedere.. anche la tv deve essere 4k

Excellent Reference Material 3D blu ray. This is as good as a 3D demo disc. A visual blast, with stupendous CGI and earth shaking bass. Havent seen 3D done for long. If you love 3d like me this should be a blind purchase. Oh man those under water sequences! Every shot is made for 3D even though this is post conversion 3D. Overall the movie is non stop thrill ride action choreography is A++++. GO for the 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bel film ad un prezzo davvero ottimo.Il film su disco rimane ancora oggi il prodotto in grado di offrire la massima qualità audio video rispetto allo streaming (Netflix ad esempio). Il comparto video è di alto livello grazie alla luminosità dell'HDR e ai colori full RGB 4.4.4 senza compressione colore (come avviene appunto su Netflix.Il comparto audio non è da meno. Abbiamo 2 tracce audio in italiano con compressione senza perdita di qualità come il DTS HD master audio e il dolby true HD. Su quest'ultima, (e non è da poco) abbiamo l'effetto dolby atmos in italiano!!.Film da avere per gli appassionati del genere

Llegó en un excelente tiempo y buenas condiciones sin duda recomendado. Una calidad de imagen única.
