a5c7b9f00b A young twenty-something diver living in the Florida Keys discovers he has the power to breathe underwater. Tempest Key, Florida. Arthur Curry aka A.C. is a happy go lucky 20-something dive shop owner who lives on a houseboat next to the coast guard base where his caring adoptive father Lieutenant Tom Curry works. His best friend is Eva, the pretty owner of the local beach bar. It&#39;s been exactly 10 years since the tragic unexplained plane crash in which Arthur&#39;s mother disappeared without a trace and only young traumatized Arthur was found alive. In the accident, Arthur discovered that he somehow has the ability to breathe underwater which he later turned to good use. However, he&#39;s still burdened by survivor&#39;s guilt and hopes he&#39;ll one day find out what really happened to his mother. After rescuing some dolphins that he suddenly felt the need to rescue from the local Neptune World marine park, Arthur is arrested by the sheriff. The day only gets more unnerving for Arthur when Eva semi-seriously threatens him with eviction and a strange intense man called McCaffery warns him about the challenges that he is about to face since the past is about to come calling. Meanwhile, coast guard Lt. Rachel Torres takes her jet plane to Mercy Reef where a sighting of a man lost at see has been reported. However, a strange beam bursts out of the ocean and downs her plane. Luckily, Arthur arrives to her rescue. Later, secretive Agent Brigman shows up at the base to question her about the incident. In the evening, Arthur meets an incredibly attractive girl called Nadia who shows interest in him and asks him if he wants to go skinny dipping with her. He feels somehow obligated to accept but justthey go in the water and start making out, Arthur is viciously attacked. He is about to learn his true origin and choose whether or not he wants to accept the huge responsibility he has both in the ocean and on the surface. This failed pilot was based on popular comic book of the same name. Okay, I just got through this pilot tonight and keeping a straight face was not an option. Dreadful acting from everyone involved. Every trick in the book thrown at this production out of sheer desperation and every trick done badly. iTunes must be laughing. From the name &quot;Aquaman&quot; to Ving Rhames obviously trying to keep his tongue between his cheeks: Bad, bad and bad. However…..<br/><br/>Having said that, I liked it. It made me snile ( that&#39;s a cross between sniggering and smiling ) and I thought the story intriguing. Drawing together multiple myths and creating more questions than it answered, this single ( badly made ) episode had me wanting more. It simply has a very good story, albeit let down by bad production values.<br/><br/>Call it &quot;The Man From Atlantis&quot;, lose the breasts and the American sugar coating and I honestly think this series has a chance. Hopefully someone can pick the series up off the floor. A young twenty-something diver living in the Florida Keys discovers he has the power to breathe underwater. Aquaman is one of the many failed Comic Book TV Shows and honestly i don&#39;t think that someone like Aquaman works good in the small screen the whole Atlantis part and his jealous brother is enough for an actual film with good effects and thank god that is happening next year. It&#39;s not bad tho orbadi expected for example Justin Hartley is a decent Arthur Curry, Adrianne Palicki does a great jobNadia although the final battle was very disappointing unfortunately, Ving Rhames and Lou Diamond Phillips are also decenttheir characters with the material that was given to them. The story with those Agents was kinda so-so i mean the fact that they were trying to find out what is happening with those missing people was good the fact that they were trying to have this large corporation tho? It was going to a road that would definitely suffer from and it reminds you all those previous shows and movies that cops went against heroes and it wasn&#39;t something new. Overall Aquaman was indeed better than other failed TV pilots like Wonder Woman for example but other than that? Nothing new, the effects were awful and the origins was skipped very fast. (6/10)
