Product Description
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis w/ Justice League Vol. 3: Throne of Atlantis Graphic Novel (Blu-ray/DVD/UV)
BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER Darkness, mystery, legend – these are the whispers that echo through time regarding Atlantis. A kingdom long since forgotten to surface dwellers, it is here that a hidden empire teeters on the brink of war. When a military submarine traversing this remote domain is attacked, Cyborg plunges to the murky depths to investigate the wreckage. What he encounters is a threat powerful enough to rally together the newly formed Justice League. Meanwhile, thousands of feet above the ocean floor wanders the lone drifter Arthur Curry, a man with strange powers who may be the last chance to bridge the ancient Atlantean world and our own. Join Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice League as they face off against Orm, otherworldly weapons and perilous odd. It’s epic chapter from the DC Universe in which mankind’s only hope from the darkness rests upon the guiding light of a man – Aquaman!

Much, much better than Justice League: War

- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2025Aquaman needed an origin animated movie. The Extras were updated on my disk, referencing 2018 trailers, etc I believe this was a 2nd printing?
I wish it was with the original Extras (2015).
I really enjoyed the extra about soundtrack. DCU animated movies have cinematic background, that deserve their own story. Amazing how much work goes into an hour+30 movie.
I enjoyed this title.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2015When franchise filmmakers successfully course-correct after a disastrous first chapter, you have to tip your hat to them. The DC Universe Original Movie "Justice League: War" was one of the most disappointing entries in the longstanding DC Universe Animated Original Movie line. In comparison, their new production and follow-up to "War" is a vast improvement.
Unlike its predecessor, "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" has the feel of a standalone film. The introduction of Arthur Curry/Aquaman (voiced by a humorous, conflicted and interesting Matt Lanter) and his own Atlantian saga is set parallel to the Justice League's stalled formation and its members' own conflicts, allowing the film to play like another surprisingly successful sequel - Tony Gilroy's "The Bourne Legacy." Like that film, which introduced a new main character while crosscutting to the Jason Bourne and CIA events of the previous film and its characters, "Throne of Atlantis" begins with a well-staged attack on a Nuclear Sub, and then cross-cuts between Arthur's developing story and League members across the world - complete with titled locations featuring that nifty, cliché `computer-generated' sound as letters appear on screen. Oddly enough, locations are spelled out, with the same cliché sound, in the "Bourne" franchise.
Screenwriter Heath Corson noted with regard to this project on www.comicbookresources.com: "They sen(t) me the comics and then they say, 'What are we going to do, what can we take from this?' We don't want it to just be the comic book on film...I think the fact that we take them really seriously and then we add a little bit of humor in the storytelling, I think that's really what's different and what's fun...I think you don't see a lot of sophisticated adult storytelling in animation and I think people miss it from the animated series and from 'Justice League Unlimited,' and I like to think we're songs in the same key."
"Throne of Atlantis" definitely exceeds "War" with regard to its level of sophisticated adult storytelling that Corson refers to. This is can be attributed on a great level to the correction of errors DC Universe Animation made in the production of "War."
Casting errors were a major problem with "War." Neither Michele Monaghan's Wonder Woman, Justin Kirk's Green Lantern, nor Alan Tudyk's Superman rang true on any level as the iconic characters they portrayed. For "Throne of Atlantis," Director Ethan Spaulding, Casting and Voice Director Andrea Romano, and Producers Alan Burnett, Sam Register and James Tucker nailed the recasting of these roles with DC Universe veterans Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman, Jerry O'Connell as Superman and three-time DCUAOM Green Lantern veteran Nathan Fillion returning as the ring-slinging Hal Jordan.
The addition of these outstanding actors with Shemar Moore as Cyborg and Sean Astin as Shazam, both outstanding in "War" and "Atlantis," together with Christopher Gorham as Barry Allen and Jason O'Mara as Batman, both of whom are easing nicely into their respective roles, creates a fully-realized group of actors that brings this new Justice League to life on a fully-realized emotional level. Unlike in "War," the cast of "Throne of Atlantis" brings Heath Corson's screenplay to life with humor, regret, pain, confusion, contemplation, anger - whatever emotions Voice Director Andrea Romano required to fulfill director Ethan Spaulding's vision. This simply was not possible with the cast of "War."
The other major flaw in "War" was composer Kevin Kliesch's ("Superman Unbound") overtly `synth' score. Kliesch's symphonically artificially score for "War" gave the film the sound and emotional feel of Marvel's line of 1990's animated television series, not the theatrical feel of most DCUAOMs. For "Throne of Atlantis," Director Ethan Spaulding and Producers Alan Burnett, Sam Register and James Tucker went with superior composer Frederik Wiedmann. In his liner notes for the "Throne of Atlantis" soundtrack, Wiedmann states the film "asked for a little bit more than a standard superhero action score. I was in awe of the beautiful design of the city of Atlantis. The colors and the animation captured a wonderful sense of mystery and magic, so the music needed to complement this throughout the story."
Wiedmann employed woodwinds, ethnic guitars, violins, violas, cellos and basses in his arrangements and the orchestrations done by Hyesu Yang. Parts of Wiedmann's score was performed by the Angel City Studio Orchestra, conducted by Yang as well. The players on Wiedmann's score are Hollywood Session Players, AFM members who have played on major studio productions. It is this use of the best musicians in the world that gives Wiedmann's score an emotional impact that elevates "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" to that of a DCUAOM standalone film.
Wiedmann's contribution to the film is so important, it merited a `Special Feature' on the film's Blu-Ray release. For viewers who know little about film scoring and recording, it is a fascinating look into the process. It also reveals just how committed to his art Wiedmann is, and why fans of DC Universe Original Movies should always be excited when his name is attached to upcoming projects.
"Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" is not without its flaws. It's a shame the story calls for the invasion of Metropolis by the villain Orm and Atlantian troops. While an admittedly inseparable part of the story from both the source comics and screenplay, comparisons arise to the superior and similar war invasion depicted "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox."
Director Ethan Spaulding and writer Heath Corson quickly pivot out of this low-point by making the battle against Orm and his troops by the League, Aquaman and Mera (a perfectly cast Sumalee Montano) an intimate, personal confrontation. Each League member's weakness against the Atlantian magic of the Trident which Orm wields is shown. For once, Batman's entry into a battle is held back until the moment his skills are called for. It's all timed perfectly to coincide with the moment Arthur Curry takes his stand against Orm - accepting his true destiny to rule Atlantis and complete his character arc.
The epic challenges of earth's wars and conflicts are juxtaposed against the intimate, difficult ostracization faced not only by Arthur Curry, but by Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg and Batman as well. It is the key subtext of the film, making it emotionally resonate beyond its predecessor. Here's hoping this complex human theme continues to be explored in the next chapter of this ongoing series.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2024After recently rediscovering my love for the DC universe, I'd begun to browse through the vast expanse that is the Justice League series of animated movies. I paused when I stumbled upon this one, and after coming to realize that it's been expertly crafted as it completely drew me in, I only wanted to look for others like it. Such an excellent storyline. I hope to see more of the same. I'm definitely a huge fan of these types of films. Even in my early 30's, I still find marvel and amusement here after long 12 hr shifts at the factory. 5 Stars .. Full Recommendation.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2015I put five stars so people would read the review. I give it TWO stars.
I like the premise of the story, but not the execution. I felt the story was crammed into a short time slot, causing the creators to cut a lot of vital scenes that would have made this a great story. I only like the start of the movie. It was a decent introduction of the characters, but after that, it seemed like the story was cut into pieces and more action was created as a substitute for lack of story execution. The graphics were decent too, as well as the voices of Shemar Moore and Nathan Fillion.
The Antagonist was a story distraction. I totally disagree with the tidal wave. If you're going to create a tidal wave of that magnitude, there better be a good reason why you wouldn't use it to destroy your enemies. I greatly disagree with the big boss fight scene. You have can't have a guy best Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Shazam, and then, try to create an epic battle between him and Amateur Aquaman. It will not feel believable, not even to many young teenagers. One could say, "Hey, he used the Trident to defeat the others, but he couldn't use it on Author, so that's why their battle was longer." and I can agree with that, but the story would need to emphasize it more and Aquaman was still an Amateur, so the creators would need to skillfully get around that too.
I like some of the sarcasm, but most of it seemed misplaced. Humor is great, but it's hard to pull off when the story feels weak. You can't save the story with humor.
Again, with the story being so crammed, the small romances all over the story felt like distractions, too. They would have been nice if this were a series or possibly a mini-series, then the writers could have developed the romances.
In short, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited set the bar and opened the window for more Justice League stories, but that bar is fairly high. What made that series so likable was the story line foundation, but the creators didn't stop there. They layered it with intriguing character development. They made the viewers care about the characters, Protagonists and Antagonists. The romances between John Stewart and Shaira, and Batman and Wonder Woman were decent, because the writers had enough time to develop them. The villains were believable and/or life like. The action was decent. There were flaws in their action scenes too, but they kept the flaws smalls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just an Aquaman story
Another great movie set in the New 52 DC Universe. Tonally it is in line with many of its predecessors in the DC animated universe. At this price it was a great purchase for the kids and a nice addition to our collection of Blu-rays. It arrived quickly and in pristine condition. I highly recommend this title and the seller
