Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One (2024)

Considering the numerous multiverse films coming out, it’s hard to find an explanation as to why multiverse is still being used. Truthfully, when Spider-Ham was introduced in the first place, for the audiences, this new character was visually unique, with its iconic first appearance forever burned in memory. However, in the current age, multiverse films are becoming a monotonous trend that needs to be laid to rest. There’s a reason why fans are confused about the direction of other DCU projects, especially after the dismissal of such interesting narratives. Sure, I can see how they wanted to get this over with before James Gunn came in and gave everything that wasn’t connected to his projects the kamikaze treatment. Otherwise, the Spin-off series in the so-called “Tomorrowverse” is not worth investing in any emotional time whatsoever. Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One is just another movie that further exemplifies the growing problem of too many multiverse stories within popular culture.

Even when considering elements of the multiverse, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths–Part One showcases a deterioration of film-making that is presently, in its purest form, industrial. This discontentment is well represented through the title of the VOD cut. What does ‘part 1’ even mean for this movie? To some extent, I feel a little bit disgusted. Because that work is quite simply unfinished. Something is definitely being set up here involving over a dozen different alternative versions of the Justice League but it’s quite disappointing that by the end it’s just a character select screen. The one with a syndrome of indistinct sci-fi and a bunch of people who trade cliches and empty jokes.

If I am more than 200 words in now Why not assess what exactly is in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One with all the confidence in the world? But there is ‘a reason’ I should have been saying differently. To be frank, I didn’t even get most of what was going on.

First of all, I’d like to apologize for way too many spoilers, but not before adding that I have watched all the previous “Tomorrowverse” films. I’m also a pretty dedicated follower of DC Comics, so in theory, I should not have any issues following this film. It, however, is told in a really odd way. It both feels overlong and undercooked at the same time, struggling to encompass itself as a part one but also needing to cover a lot in a very expansive narrative. I don’t see any reason as to why this two-parter cannot just be a single 2-hour film.

The Flash (Matt Bomer) is shown time traveling back to the formation of the Justice League, to meeting an alternate version of the League who is evil, and to his first meeting with his girlfriend Iris West (Ashleigh Lathrop). This is an extremely cool and brave storytelling method by the creators as it offers retention to the viewers due to it being nonlinear or rather flat and plot-driven even though it may be confusing to the viewers and character alike, but on the other hand. There are many sophisticated concepts that seem to intermingle quite easily and when that happens, it can become too much to handle after a while.

W działania Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths–Part One interdimensional entertaining and fantastical concept is brought to its realistic emotional core. In the beginning, we get acquainted with Flash and Iris as a couple, we witness them evolve, and we spend decades with some of their greatest moments without feeling negative about it at all. The two characters, like all of us, are quite engaging and deep. In my opinion, the film’s ability to turn love stories into grand adventures where complex emotions reign supreme is utterly astonishing. When superheroes pull a challenging human element, drama is created, and in this case, it’s quite uncomplicated: a man goes through time and space. The bombast of fighting the evil that is threatening the “end of the world” is very intriguing, but even more impressive is the storytellers’ use of emotions and love at the center of such an epic tale.

What I’m less keen on, then, is how a lot of that seems to get pushed to the side towards the end of the film, to transition to the aforementioned slug sci-fi dome that has nothing but alternative Super Smash Bros skins. It is a nice way to connect all the earlier “Tomorrowverse” movies and sure, it will hopefully present some great scenarios and set pieces in the next movie, but for now, it only looks like Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One is trying to pander to its fanbase after a decent hour of set-up for a plot that, if not well glorified, made sense and was executed perfectly. Above all, it felt different from movies such as Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse (2023), which also happens to have a lot of different variants of a sci-fi dome in it.

Moreover, there’s also the ongoing problem that I’ve had with the entire ‘Tomorrowverse’ as well, which is that its animation has always remained crude even when you compare it to the other animated movies by DC that came out almost a decade ago.

There are plenty of possibilities for creative imagery here, however, they are all wasted to make all visuals nearly the same, which is a real shame considering this is an animated film about the multiverse. I get why they did this however they have adopted a more static style for these films, so the audience immediately knows that they are different from the older DC animated films. This results in many films looking poor, which is the case here. It might address one issue, but is it worth the complications it brings with it? I wouldn’t think so.

Perhaps Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths–Part Two will come to my rescue and show me a multiversal brawl something beyond my imagination, but as of now, I have to restrain myself from reviewing this part based upon what has been presented. It’s not a completely dreadful movie, no, it definitely has some merits, and at least some brilliant concepts, but at its direst, it’s simply the final act out of all the woes that have besieged superhero content today, and the entertainment industry as a whole. Maybe it’s for the better that ‘Tomorrowverse’ has come to an end, because if there’s one thing in DC’s animation that it, it’s some imagination.
