3 short stories are presented focusing on each member of the Trinity. The final, 4th, act brings it all together in a hurried messed leaving the viewer as confused about what is going as the 3 heroes. If this was the intention, great! If not, then its a really big fail. The individual stories are interesting and would have made top tier episodes back in the Justice League Unlimited days as solo stories. If you're a DC fan then you know Warworld means Mongul. Boy did that disappoint big time. Mongul is reduced to one villain with no clear goal. He looks weak and is defeated easily in what I will at best call a confrontation and not really a fight. There's also a gross feeling of MCU influence with his design. He feels more like a bargain bin Ronan/Thanos. The worst part of the story just stops. Notice I didn't say ends. I wouldn't even call it a cliffhanger. Also I was surprised to see this rated R. Is the use of guns to kill? It's nowhere near the deserved R rating of Apokolips War. It feels cheap as if to entice an older audience to watch. It wasn't so much WARworld as it was illusion world thanks to Martian Manhunter. Which also felt severely under used and wasted in this story. But its not all terrible. The animation and action scenes themselves are amazing and as I said before as stand alone the stories are good. A huge miss compared to previous entries in the Tomorrowverse.
