Atomic Eden

This is a movie that brings back the charm of the 90s action movies. It's also a tribute, to the direct-to-DVD movies of those days that always featured a big star. Fred "The Hammer" Williamson has been successfully cast here as well. I was also very happy to see Mike Möller, who is currently traveling all over the world and is now involved in Hollywood films. Atomic Eden has no lengths and is well timed. It is remarkable what has been achieved on a tiny budget. Wonderful fun for an evening. Best get the mediabook, which has beautiful cover artworks. In the booklet you can read a lot about the production history.

Some good fights and shootouts scattered among a whole lotta nothing. Minimal, yet still ambiguous, plot; stiff acting from mostly unknown cast; illogical actions for a bunch of experienced combat dudes. For example - they've got limited time to be exposed to radiation while on mission in this location before it threatens their lives. After killing the first wave of attackers who wore hazmat suits with gas masks, why didn't they snap up the protective gear from those bodies? Even worse, the ending dangles a sequel that likely will never be made. Nor should it, based on this whiff at an action flick.

I found this movie by chance on Amazon and decided to give it a try - and wasn't disappointed.

ATOMIC EDEN delivers exactly what you think: some interesting characters exploring an abandoned industrial complex full of gasmask wearing minions, a lot of shooting and fighting and the Charme of the good old action movies from the late 80s.

Mike Moller as the fighter is a very talented young martial artist, and no surprise his role is one of the best, followed by the Hammer who is a veteran in slightly grungy and independent movies.

If you are interested in some simple but good action and a wide variety of characters with different abilities and strength, ATOMIC EDEN is what you are looking for.

I had fun with this movie and would recommend it to my friends.

A very entertaining and successful action film with great actors and great fights. The special effects are also well done. This is really a film that you should definitely watch. It is not only classic successful genre cinema, but also up-to-date and keeping up with the times in its subject matter. Nico Sentner succeeds in inspiring his audience. I especially like the diversity of the cast and also the openness to homosexuality. Absolutely great actors are included, in particular Everett Ray Aponte and Fred Williamson. Definitely a great film, very well done! I always recommend this film. I love it.

First of all Atomic Eden is not a movie which will win an Academy Award. However, if you are like me and you are fan of John Carpenter movies, especially "Assault on Precinct 13" you will enjoy and appreciate this film a lot! Besides that, Atomic Eden is bullet riddled and bone smashing love letter to the glorious time when video stores still ruled the world. You'll read many reviews for this movie where people will dismiss this as trash but I'm here to say that this film wasn't made for people like that. It was made for the people who live and breath action and can't get enough of it. Look past the flaws and know that this is indie action filmmaking on a budget and you'll have a good time. It pretty much should call out to any fan who grew up watching any of the epics that Cannon Films put out back in the day.
