Imagine if you had the power of super speed and had the ability to not just run fast but change the past as well? That’s the question asked and answered by “The Flash” - the latest entry in Warner Bros.’ long running “DC Extended Universe” that sees Ezra Miller reprise their role as Barry Allen and his heroic alter ego. Set some time after the events of “Justice League”, the ever cheerful and sometimes obnoxious Barry has matured into a competent superhero who fights crime and saves lives alongside the likes of Batman, but a tragedy that he suffered as a child continues to haunt him and he ponders on the possibility of using his connection to the Speed Force to change things and save those closest to him.
As with all things, tampering with elements beyond one’s understanding leads to severe consequences, and the events of this film see Barry struggle with the repercussions of his own actions. History has been altered into a new universe, he meets a younger version of himself, and an older version of Batman he does not know is his only hope of fixing his mistakes as well as saving the world from doom. All in a day’s work for a superhero, but for The Fastest Man Alive it’s his greatest challenge yet.
Thanks to Warner Bros. Philippines, I was able to catch not one, not two, but THREE advance screenings of The Flash! Without spoiling or giving away much, it is as other fans and critics say - a solid representation of what a DC movie should be that not only taps into the infinite possibilities of the DC Multiverse, but an emotional and action packed roller coaster ride that is filled with heart and determination.
