Once home to the most advanced civilization on Earth, Atlantis is now an underwater kingdom ruled by the power-hungry King Orm. With a vast army at his disposal, Orm plans to conquer the remaining oceanic people and then the surface world. Standing in his way is Arthur Curry, Orm's half-human, half-Atlantean brother and true heir to the throne.
This movie contains 18 potentially triggering events.
The main characters are followed by the bad guys. It's not the traditional sence of stalking, but they are being followed by people that want to do harm to them.
A goldfish is eaten in the first scene, and there is a moment when animals are shown being killed by the affect of humans (harpooned whales, choking turtles from pollution, etc). Numerous marine animals also die in the underwater battles (which there are a lot of)
There are 3 cases where people are falling or jumping from very high up. They are not harmed by this, but they are shown falling for a good length of time so keep that in mind.
In two instances, women that are engaged have affairs. In both of those situations, the women do not want to be married and the ceremony has not yet happened.
In the very beginning, a woman vomits up a large amount of water. This happens a few more times during the course of the film. Whenever someone goes underwater for a large amount of time, or one of the Atlanteans’ Helmer’s break on land, be ready for a small water vomit scene.
An early part takes place in a cramped sinking sub.
Later characters find themselves in a room sized pocket of air at the bottom of the ocean. They can breath underwater, but some people with anxiety might feel trapped by the idea.
Some people, who can only survive in water, wear suits full of water to walk on land. Imagining this may trigger claustrophobic anxiety in certain cases.
A father character gets trapped on a sinking sub. His son attempts to free him even as they both can't breath. The father, knowing he is doomed, pulls a grenade to force his son to save himself. He dies by the grenade, preferring it to drowning.
A bit tricky given the context but does someone die from being unable to breathe the correct element?" Yes. "Does someone die because they can't breathe water?" No.
