The movie opens on December 21st officially, and on the 20th for the Thursday night previews. Most notably,AMCand Cinemark are not taking part in the early screenings, unless something changes between now and then. Tickets are expected to go on sale soon for the special event, which will more than likely sell out in popular locations, especially since they’re taking place on a Saturday night.
Early reactions toAquamanhave been mixed, but mostly leaning on a positive note. Like most movies, fans will be able to make up their own minds when they leave theaters. With that being said, it’s been a year since a DCEU project hit theaters, meaning that fans are pretty hyped to seeJason Momoa as Arthur Curryon the big screen, leading the charge. In addition, James Wan’s visuals look pretty amazing from all of the promotional material that has been released for the movie so far.
James Wan and crew spent a long time to get the visual effects exactly how they wanted it to look, which is more than likely why it took so long for us to see anyAquamanfootage. Wan is a perfectionist, and would often tell DCEU fans that they would see a trailer “when it was ready.” Thefirst Aquaman trailer was finally unveiled at San Diego Comic Conthis summer, and DCEU fans were instantly very happy about the way that it looked. However, it’s going to take a lot more than visual effects to carry the story of Arthur Curry, though it’s a great place to start.
In addition to the advanceAmazon Primescreenings,Aquamanis having a global tour of special events that kicks off this Sunday, November 18th in Beijing, and wrapping up on December 21st in Hawaii. Warner Bros. is pulling out all of the stops in preparation for the highly-anticipated movie. Since it’s been a year sinceJustice Leaguehit theaters, Arthur Curry’s movie should have no problem getting better marks from critics, leaving the aforementioned movie in the dust.
