`Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom` movie review: This sequel fails to be distinctive and gravitating. The borrowed ideas, the nonviable referencing, the thread-bare story, and the inconsistent design and pacing don’t allow for any buoyancy

Still from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
This sequel to ‘Aquaman’ seems a little lost in all the computer graphic imagery it has set out for itself. From underwater shots to sand dunes and ice lands, the movie goes erratic in its rather futile search for adventure and thrills.
The big guy, Arthur Curry aka Aquaman aka The Current King of Atlantis (Jason Mamoa), tries to save the planet from returning bad guy Black Manta, aka David Kane (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who wants revenge against him for killing his dad in the opening scene of the first movie. Kane is now possessed by the spirit of the Black Trident, forged by demonic creatures, denizens of the necropolis known as the seventh kingdom of Atlantis.
