Storyline Edit

Did you know Edit

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

Goofs
The propeller of the submarine is shown as generating a massive amount of
bubbles, or cavitation. Submarine propellers are specifically designed to avoid
this as much as possible because it creates sound that can easily be detected
by hydrophones.

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.

another bloated studio tentpole with cheesy dialog, a generic story and artificial
looking CGI. However, once it opened, a passionate film fan I respect a lot started
spreading so much obviously genuine enthusiasm for the movie that I eventually
got over myself and watched it.

I think it was the moment when Nicole Kidman swallowed a goldfish that I started
to suspect I might actually enjoy this movie. That suspicion, however, turned out
to be wrong, because I didn't just enjoy it: I ended up ADORING it. The weirdest
