“In brightest day. In blackest night.”

AdventureActionScience Fiction

For centuries, a small but powerful force of warriors called the Green Lantern Corps has sworn to keep intergalactic order. Each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of the first human ever recruited.

VIBE

This is a loud, earnest, and often clunky superhero spectacle. It feels like a mid-tier comic book adaptation from an era still finding its footing, packed with vibrant but sometimes unconvincing CGI. Expect a propulsive, if occasionally awkward, journey through a universe of green light and cosmic threats, aiming for epic but landing more on enthusiastic.
