Green Lantern : Emerald Knights (2011) 7/10

Starring : Nathan Fillion, Jason Isaacs, Elisabeth Moss
Director : Christopher Berkley, Lauren Montgomery & Jay Oliva
Running Time : 84 mins

With the planet that houses the Green Lantern Corps being under threat from an enemy who wishes to destroy them all, the Lanterns evacuate the planet until their enemy can be stopped. Hal Jordan (Fillion), the Green Lantern of Earth, tells stories to new recruit Arisia (Moss), about the previous Lanterns, hoping to comfort her as they flee what had become their home.

Like Batman : Gotham Knights, this movie is more a series of stories connected by the Lantern Corp, explaining their origins and history for those who don’t already know. Unlike Gotham Knights, the animation here is consistent, which helps avoid the eye strain of multiple animation types. If you’re looking for a flowing story, then this won’t be for you, but if you’re happy to watch a series of vignettes with a common link that culminates in an action packed conclusion, then this will be right up your street.
