CGI action

It's exactly like watching a video game - I hope this isn't the future of action scenes.

It wasn't that bad. I've seen much worse.

Bad? I thought it looked awesome. The battle of Atlantis by itself was better than the entire Justice League movie.

Battle of Atlantis was absolutely amazing.

Nicole Kidman's fight scene in the beginning with the rotating camera, it set the bar high and thankfully, most of the movie's action sequences kept up the hype it gave me.

Right? Not sure why this got so much hate. It's a blast.

I watched the first 10 minutes and gave up.

Sadly I suspect it is the future as generations that did grow up playing HD video games think this is the best action possible: silly, over the top, plastic, cartoon based, soon to be dated graphics.... just like the games.

They didn't grow up with the real world understanding and excitement behind real life stunts, especially when cgi can go so much further. Realistic cartoons. Oh well.

I thought the fight scenes was good mostly in the Aquaman vs. Black Manta battles. To me, it kept me wanting more from it but overall to me the movie was pretty good but longish.

It was quite tiring and forgettable to me, but I'm in my 40s so was probably not the focus audience for it.
