The Aqua Man film is filled with glorious graceful actors and their moving hands and legs and limbs and feet. They step it up with a script of stomping speed and rely on filmic ‘stones of metaphors’ as they journey to retrieve the fork of Neptune’s arm, in order to defeat the many fighting factions.

We follow their adventures under the sand dunes and water falls, of the ‘underworlds’ of layered grounds and splashing waves. The story takes a turn and then another as the hero and his friendly lady discover one another’s power.

The hero is indeed apt at jumping from scene to scenic seeing scene; with his seer and her seeing eyes of blue not green -rays of power. They defeat their foes with ‘shots’ of ablaze, as they move from jump to port; in order to retrieve clues of holographic glows.

They find the messages below the sands and dunes, and underneath the seas of waves of crystal blues inside the Neptunian lairs… From Octopus alien fish look alikes, to alien dark ‘Vedas’, the hero (and the lady) ‘swim in deep waters’ and eventually, eventually, as they are retrieving their clues to the ‘fork of powerful destiny’;

They defeat the many monstrous ways of creatures beneath the earth and sea. And there is so much more to see in this film of the year! From crackling ‘Krakens’, to crashing sassy whales, and to Elfin looking kings and so-called brothers (and queens....)

We even find the fighting scenes in the wavy atmospherics of ships and the ozone layer...

Much more to see as they fight from faction to faction and from monstrous creature interaction to interaction -till they eventually defeat the other ‘forks’ and resume their legacy and ‘Neptunian’ destined ways.

The hero -and his friends- are not as ship wrecked as we once thought in the first scenes of the film and they definitely know their way around the seas...

A hybrid hero and a muggle too! Astray he, aqua man, may seem at first, but he ends up finding his way all the way back home…to his devil’s fork...and his Neptune’s destiny.   

Who is who and who is loyal to who at the end of the day and night?
