DC Showcase: Adam Strange

Watch DC Showcase: Adam Strange as a jaded hero leads audiences on a sinister and exciting adventure. In this short film, Adam Strange drowns his sorrows in a pub while we are transported to the frigid depths of an alien mining colony. Flashbacks paint a picture of a terrible history driven by loss and battle. The fight scenes are visceral and vicious, even though the animation style may not be to everyone's taste.

The film's examination of a hero struggling with hopelessness is its real strength. Though there are glimmers of Adam's past bravery, his interstellar travels have clearly taken a toll on his emotions. The audience is left wondering at the conclusion if Adam will be able to face his fears and accept his protective position once more.

While Adam Strange's character could have been better presented, at least the story has a beginning, an ending, and an end. Is the character's story respected? No. But it is what always happens; a character is taken and stripped of everything that identifies it to try to satisfy a certain target audience.

Bloody boring. Ultra predictable, with the same flat animation that DC's animated universe has. Short presentation of a good character, whose best characters are opaque and absent. With much violence and blood they try to make up a script without ideas.

The plot is pretty good there is action i Don't like that ending is unknown because he could easily be in another place and die from old age which would be very sad yeah soo I kinda recommend it for a watch its not long soo yeah thats all.

It's a short for one.. You seem to not understand their structure's. Especially when they're about a established character. Then you can be forgiven for some formulaic story telling so long as it's well written and entertaining. Which i found this short to be plenty.

It is certainly a short for adults, which im guessing the director/writer/producer Butch Lukic took into play when looking at the character of adam strange and who the actual fan base for him would be. Just like another recent DC showcase that was the best one of them all 'Death' which was really well done and heart wrenching.
