Atlantis crumbles, and Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry—scarred king, reluctant dad—faces the ultimate tide-turn: the Trench, those writhing abyss-spawn, have clawed their way to sentience, a savage civilization bubbling up from the black. No more mindless horde; they’re organized horror, fins like spears, eyes glowing with ancient grudge. To save the surface from submersion and the depths from collapse, Arthur must swallow the monster he dreads—injecting Trench venom that twists him into something primal, gills flaring, rage roaring like the Marianas themselves.

Amber Heard’s Mera anchors the heartbreak, her hydro-blasts a siren’s wail against the flood. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta slithers back, trident gleaming with opportunistic glee, allying uneasy with Nicole Kidman’s Atlanna, queenly wrath reborn from the waves. The visuals? James Wan’s wet-dream apocalypse: bioluminescent trenches pulsing like veins, submersibles crumpling under pressure that warps steel into screams, a finale siege in the Mariana’s crushing core where light dies and only the abyss stares back.

It’s not heroism; it’s horror—Arthur’s transformation a mirror to the beast within, every bubble a breath of sacrifice. Verdict: 10/10. The king becomes the abyss… and the depths bow.
