Atlantis Down

That by the reviews!. okay, i'm not fake, but I liked it! Seen the title read synopsis and thought "Oh this is classic The Asylum Presents...." But no, the budget was over £12.50 (not much over Okay i'm no reviewer and grammar is...suspect. But it was weird, and kept going off on tangents, cast were no thespians, but they were fine by me. Made a change from the usual disaster type movie, "Asteroid,Plague,Worm Hole in someones kitchen" etc. Then the obligatory "expert" in Asteroids, Plagues, Kitchen wormholes. She (its always a she) will stagger around in stilettos, micro mini skirts, she will be approximately 23 with an 18 year old daughter. The daughter will dress identical to mum, but her skirt will be ultra micro. The multi tasking expert will be married, but separated from her cop husband. He spends more time working than giving family attention. Boo Hiss, but anyway, all will be splendid by the end, he will rescue them from the catastrophe, and get back in wife and daughters good books. Talking about going off on tangents!, err, what was i reviewing?, oh yes, the shuttle thingy, yes, its okay, wont win any awards (cast not diverse enough) Thus, it won't even make it to a light night slot with the BBC. wonder how many stopped reading this by now?, probably a similar number to those who hated the film and switched off ages ago. Going now, bye

I was so amazed at just how poor this movie was that I forced myself to sit through it to the (very) bitter end and all I could think of was thank goodness I only paid £3 for it - but the more valuable loss was 88 minutes of my life where I could have done something more constructive - like count the blades of grass on my lawn or just sitting staring at the wall - honestly, you could have had more enjoyment from toothache!

To have any success at a good film you mostly (not always) need the following: 1. A good story-line/script 2. Good actors who are convincing and comfortable with their roles 3. Decent special effects (especially with space/science fiction films) 4. A decent budget (can make 1-3 above happen)

The tell-tale was the poor dialogue and interaction between the cast right from the get-go and the kiddie-level CGI of the Atlantis shuttle which actually made me laugh out loud when I first saw it (it turned out the joke was on ME!)but the REAL cheat was the cover suggesting that it's a space-based movie - it's not and it goes downhill very quickly thereafter.

I laughed again when the movie quickly took us to a sandy and wooded area where the story-line was so bad that the poor cast couldn't make the translation of it remotely believable. And seeing as I've used the word believable I also find it unbelievable that somebody got any kind of a budget or financial backing to shoot this movie in the first place.

I'm pretty sure I could take a day off work and sit with a pencil and a blank piece of paper and come up with a better story-line than that which I've just endured.

I have never placed a review of any movie previously (and we've all seen a few poor ones over the years) but this one was so bad that it made me want to find someplace that I could vent and if I can stop just one person from watching this catastrophe of a film I'll be happy. I almost feel like going to where I bought mine and hanging out there trying to save someone from doing what I did - being stupid enough to buy it.

BUY ANY OTHER FILM BUT DO NOT WATCH THIS.

I'm about to securely dispose of mine as I would with any other hazard that I have in my house where I don't want friends or loved ones being exposed to it.

After watching this you'll never will see a worse movie in your life. Randomly stuck together pieces of footage. Nicely filmed, but no connections betwwe the shots. What a waste of resources that could have been used for an actual movie. The whole crew has left their reviews, recognizable by their positivity. Just a wate of 90 minutes of your l i fe without anythinv to show for it. Not worth thd popcorn you may have eaten while tryinv to watch this nonsense

this film looks as if it was filmed on a particularly cheap and nasty "not so smart" phone. the story if it can be called that has no depth or explanation. As previously reported it seems to have been mainly a few people in overalls running around in a wood saying how much it looked like home but was so "different" in some unknown way. I do wonder if the guy left on the ship for the first part just realised how lame it all looked and refused to join in. I tortured myself by watching it to the end in the misguided belief some "reasonable" explanation to all the mindless drivel would be forthcoming. I was sorely misguided although when the movie finally just came to a sudden end I was actually quite grateful. I only paid £3 for this DVD but still feel robbed..I considered calling trading standards but feel to embarrassed too admit I actually "paid" for this!

This is the poorest attempt at a "low" budget indi movie ever. From the very beginning of the movie, this wastes no time pouring in its terrible CGI space shuttle orbiting the earth. It looks as if they went on google and typed in "orbiting space shuttle," right clicked it and saved it on their computer to use for later. This movie had no chance of keeping my attention after the horrific attempt at a Michael Scott "thats what she said joke." The first half of this movie is just various shots of nature and people running around the woods. If this movie is ever anything more than a dust collecting bookend on someones forgotten about book rack, than I will have lost all faith in humankind. Thus spending the rest of my time sitting in a bomb shelter waiting for the apocalypse. As far as the acting i would just assume that everyone involved in this train wreck would just assume that they have gone as far as their going to go in "hollywood." You want to see a good sci-fi movie check out john travolta's planet battlefield or maybe waterworld any of those will be much better then this horrific waste of bluray quality!
