The idea of perspective and perception comes back in the new Zach Creggers film "Weapons". While not as jarring as "Barbarian", its structure is much more specific and crisp despite a little bit of a silly conclusion that nonetheless plays to mythology. Julia Garner and Josh Brolin have the main protagonist roles with a couple other character actors really nicely rounding out the cast.

The context of "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" is redemption. The structure of the film begins a little too cartoonish but once it gets to its pinnacle, it redeems alot of its mythos despite a clunky finish in a way.
