This fairly traditional featurette mixes clips from Aquaman with interview footage, once again only skimming the surface of both actresses involvement in the film. Heroines of Atlantis (5:31 1080p): Explores the female presence in the film, focusing on Amber Heard’s Mera and Nicole Kidman’s Atlanna. There are a few interesting tidbits here, but it’s basically a glorified interview with the actor. Abdul-Mateen II gives some insight into his take on the character. The Dark Depths of Black Manta (6:39 1080p): Stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, as the actor dives into the history of the chatacter, along with interpretation of Aquaman’s arch-nemesis in the film itself. James Wan: World Builder (7:42 1080p): Focuses on director James Wan’s vision of Atlantis, calling it a “world creation film.” Even though this featurette is essentially a puff piece, it integrates behind the scenes development footage, concept art and interview footage with Wan that ends up giving some decent insight into the world building elements of Aquaman. Although it leaves much to be desired, this is easily the most engrossing supplement on this disc. It also delves into how many of the underwater scenes were shot dry for wet, in addition to the various methods used for creating believable movement in them. Going Deep Into the World of Aquaman (19:28 1080p): Goes through the entire production of the film, from pre-production into shooting, all the way into post. Most of the featurette showcases a bunch of on-set B-roll mixed with interview footage. This featurette also looks at Momoa’s take on the character and his training regimen leading into shooting. It starts half a decade ago, when Momoa was first cast. But there’s ultimately enough here to keep fans happy.īecoming Aquaman (13:03 1080p): This feature focuses on the casting of Jason Momoa as Aquaman. Perhaps the biggest glaring omission on this disc is a director’s commentary form Wan. There are roughly one hundred minutes of supplemental material, bur most of it rings slightly hollow. Unfortunately, they barely scratch the surface of the technical feats behind this film. The Blu-ray release of Aquaman contains a bevvy of special features for fans of the film to dig through. But it’s odd for WB Home Entertainment not to make it the default on this release. Overall, there’s not much more that one could ask for in this Atmos track. The score by Rupert Gregson-Williams is also effective in this track, offering a nice mix that never feels too intrusive. Dialogue is crisp and no sync issues are present, despite the constant use of the underwater vocal effects.

The low end on this track also adds a ton of punch to the experience – especially within the action sequences. Channel separation is excellent, especially during underwater scenes. Although the Atmos track is fairly truculent at points, it’s also supremely immersive throughout. Even though it’s not the default setting on this disc, this mix is the highlight of this release. Presented on Blu-Ray with an Atoms mix as well as a 5.1 mix, the former is naturally the preferred method for viewing the film.

The audio mix truly knocks it out of the park.
RELEASE DATE FOR AQUAMAN BLURAY MOVIE
This movie relies heavily of the sound design to sell the illusion of the film’s underwater effects. Overall, this transfer is pretty solid, especially when it comes to preserving both the textures of the practical and digital elements in Aquaman.
RELEASE DATE FOR AQUAMAN BLURAY SERIES
Instead, we’re treated to a series of greys that further emphasize the pops of color in the film. Although these visual effects heavy sequences should be somewhat murky considering the setting, there are only a few select cases where true backs actually come to the forefront. While contrast is strong in the scenes with primarily live-action elements, the black levels in this transfer suffer in the somewhat murky-looking underwater scenes.

The colors are vibrant, and the film’s varied visual palette only helps this AVC encoded transfer to stand out more than it already does. As whole, the cinematography by veteran Don Burgess is excellently preserved on this disc. The IMAX sequences offer a stunning level of detail, both in terms of overall clarity and information on the screen. So its inclusion alone adds another layer to an already visually dense film. It’s pretty rare for the latter aspect ratio to be preserved on home video releases for IMAX-shot films. The Blu-Ray release of Aquaman features a mixed aspect ratio of traditional 2.40:1 scenes, with IMAX sequences interspersed at a 1.78:1 aspect ratio.
