Atoman

Atoman talks about a young hacker who takes his superpowers from his heritage and his ancestral culture. He figures out by coincidence that he is the one. Like Spiderman. The story talks also about an artifact that gives superpowers to his possessor who should be an unique person. And this artifact in the wrong hands threatens the existence of the world. The cinematic is frenetic and some fight scenes are cool. The movie looks like the chinese and indian productions with a nationalist message. Not boring but addressed more to a local audience. The country where the movie is located is Morocco in North Africa.

People are too harsh with this movie, forgetting it's the first moroccan superhero made by moroccans for moroccans. It's actually a nice watch, with a great representation of moroccan and amazigh identity.

OST is great, and visual effects aren't all incredible but the budget is well distributed. Honestly, better than recent Marvel movies! And the effects and choreography can't be compared to Hollywood productions as it is simply not the same budget nor experience.

Actors do a great job (some are better in the darija version than in the french one).

While watching this movie, you can feel the love, and dedication.

First super hero movie from Maghreb I loved it It's not a marvel but a good start that will encourage other African countries to make more syfy movies and tell more African stories.

Love the music and the scenery was breathtaking Makes one wanna visit Morocco 🇲🇦 There is a first for everything so I hope this movie inspire Moroccans and Africans in general to start seeing out of the box the are in and explore all our potential Congrats to the whole team a special one to my girl Aicha for co- producing this little gem 💎 and to Anouar for sharing with us this great story Allez au suivant la famille et encore BRAVO!!!

I had high hopes going into Atoman, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most underwhelming movie experiences I've had in a long time. The film completely fails to deliver on every front. There are virtually no special effects to speak of-an unforgivable flaw for a movie in this genre. The story is paper-thin, with no real world-building or character development, leaving viewers disconnected and uninterested. To make matters worse, the acting is painfully amateurish, making it difficult to stay engaged or take the plot seriously. Overall, Atoman feels like a missed opportunity and a waste of time. I cannot recommend it.

Atoman, the first superhero movie from the Maghreb, is more than just a cinematic milestone-it's a cultural awakening. Co-produced by the talented Aicha, this film marks a historic moment for North African storytelling in the sci-fi genre.

Directed by Anouar Moatassim and starring Lartiste as Hakim Imlil, Atoman follows a young hacker who discovers his Atlantean roots and transforms into a modern-day protector. It's a classic hero's journey wrapped in a distinctly Moroccan identity, enriched with Amazigh and Arab mythologies. The villain, played by Samy Naceri, adds weight and intrigue, while the beautiful landscapes and immersive soundtrack make Morocco not just a setting, but a character of its own.

What truly makes Atoman special is its spirit. It's not trying to be Marvel-and that's its strength. It's raw, authentic, and filled with heart. The breathtaking scenery and culturally infused story serve as a love letter to Morocco and a bold invitation for African filmmakers to tell their own stories.

Special applause must go to Aicha, whose work behind the scenes helped shape this gem. Her vision and passion as co-producer helped bring Atoman to life, showing what's possible when bold dreams meet action.

Here's to more African sci-fi, more daring ideas, and more trailblazers like Aicha and Anouar.

Bravo à toute l'équipe. Allez au suivant, la famille! 💎🇲🇦
