JAMES WAN BRINGS ATLANTIS TO LIFE!! Aquaman Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson dive deep into the underwater action of the 2018 DC Extended Universe blockbuster Aquaman in this epic Reaction & Review! Directed by James Wan (The Conjuring, Furious 7), the film stars Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones, See) as Arthur Curry, the half-human, half-Atlantean heir to the throne of Atlantis. As Arthur wrestles with his destiny and dual identity, he must confront his power-hungry half-brother Orm, played by Patrick Wilson (Watchmen, Insidious), who seeks to unite the underwater kingdoms to wage war on the surface world. With the help of the fierce warrior princess Mera (Amber Heard, Zombieland, The Rum Diary) and royal advisor Vulko (Willem Dafoe, Spider-Man, The Lighthouse), Arthur embarks on a globe-trotting quest to retrieve the legendary Trident of Atlan and claim his rightful place as king. Along the way, he faces off against Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Watchmen, Candyman), a vengeful mercenary with cutting-edge Atlantean tech. The film also features Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge!, Big Little Lies) as Arthur’s mother Queen Atlanna, Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, The Expendables) as King Nereus, Temuera Morrison (The Mandalorian, Once Were Warriors) as Arthur’s father Tom Curry, Randall Park (Fresh Off the Boat, WandaVision) as Dr. Stephen Shin, Ludi Lin (Power Rangers, Marco Polo) as Captain Murk, and the voice of Dame Julie Andrews (The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins) as the monstrous sea guardian Karathen. Packed with stunning visuals, underwater battles, the epic Ring of Fire duel, and the climactic final war between kingdoms, Aquaman became a billion-dollar success and one of the DCEU’s most visually ambitious entries. #Aquaman #JasonMomoa #DCComics #DCMovie #AmberHeard #PatrickWilson #JamesWan #BlackManta #YahyaAbdulMateen #QueenAtlanna #NicoleKidman #JulieAndrews #WillemDafoe #DCEU #AquamanReaction #AquamanReview #TridentOfAtlan #Orm #Mera #ArthurCurry #Atlantis #UnderwaterAction #AndrewGordon #TaraErickson #AquamanMovie #SuperheroFilm #DCUniverse Fantastic Four: First Steps Out of Theatre Review: https://youtu.be/hSBTuhcfVrc Justice League (2017) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/dgKVWDNVfrw Fantastic Four: First of the Silver Surfer (2007) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/hSpnzdU8OqE Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/TpFIbn10tuA The Addams Family (1991) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/3L5QTffsEh8 Follow *Tara Erickson* on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ twitter: https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow Andrew Gordon On Socials: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/Agor711 0:00 Checking In! 01:02 Aquaman Reaction 30:32 HUEL 32:38 Aquaman Movie Reaction 01:06:40 Patron Q&A + Aquaman Review 01:25:07 Patron of the Day SHOUT OUT!

I don't know what happened with DC around that time, but this movie was a diamond in the rough. Nobody was expecting it to be this good, and perform as well as it did.

Still can’t believe the Kraken was voiced by Julie Andrews! The sea is alive with the sound of music

"I didn't know flares work under water." Important safety tip! Smother a phosphorus fire. Don't EVER use water! White phosphorus especially will just burn hotter. On the note of Emergency Flares, they use phosphorus BECAUSE they don't go out when wet. Its what makes them useful in stormy weather.

I'd forgotten how brutal that submarine scene is. Holding that guy on his shoulders and running him into the doorway is crazy.

James Wan understood the assignment perfectly. Just the right amount of camp paired with awesome action sequences and a fun swashbuckling story. Love this movie.
