Synopsis

Spoiler shield

After the events of Justice League: War, Ocean Master and Black Manta have declared a war against the surface in retaliation of the aftermath of Apokoliptian-tyrant Darkseid's planetary invasion. Queen Atlanna seeks out her other son, Ocean Master’s half-brother Arthur Curry, a half-human with aquatic powers with no knowledge of his Atlantean heritage, to restore balance. Living with powers he doesn’t understand and seeing the danger around him, Curry takes steps to embrace his destiny, joining the Justice League, and with his new teammates he battles to save Earth from total destruction.

"If I had a chance to save my world and meet one of my own race, even for a moment, that would be enough." Not sure how I feel about this New 52 era of movies yet. The characters are fun but the designs and story are not the greatest. It feels like a continuation of JL: War but now focused on Aquaman.
