`The Flash` movie review: The repetitive narrative resets with time and parallel universes bring ‘the butterfly effect’ into focus and puts into question the very logic for Allen’s attempt

The much-awaited ‘The Flash’ is a mixed experience at best. It has spectacle and blockbuster elements, glitzy action with a fair dose of comedy thrown in but its longish runtime, general incoherence, and inconsistent VFX keep frustrating you every once in a while.
Barry Allen’s (Ezra Miller) attempts to save his family inadvertently alters the future several times. In one attempt he finds himself trapped in a reality in which General Zod (Michael Shannon) has returned and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. So he tries again and the narrative goes into a tailspin dishing out nostalgia trips and fan service with every DC comic superhero flashing through a ‘multiverse’ in this very obvious attempt by Warner Bros to keep its ‘Justice League’ potential top-of-mind.
