"The Flash" Struggles to Find its Footing Despite Star-Studded Cast.

The Flash movie, based on the Flashpoint comic, features Barry Allen going back in time to save his mother, leading to a multiverse adventure with a younger version of himself, Batman from a different Earth, and Supergirl. While the film has solid humor and impressive digital effects, the characters lack depth and the time-travel CGI is disquieting. The Flash signals a new beginning for the DC universe, but ultimately falls short of its potential.
