Atomic Eden

ATOMIC EDEN is a film that delivers exactly what is expected, nothing more or nothing less. It proudly displays it's B-movie roots on it's sleeve and takes off running. Even though the majority of actors are relative unknowns, there are a few familiar faces who will most certainly attract an audience. German martial arts star on the rise Mike Moller could easily become the next big thing. His fight choreography is nothing short of stellar and helps to set ATOMIC EDEN apart from the rest of the pack. Even though his role is more like an extended cameo, DTV superstar Lorenzo Lamas reminds us just how solid of an actor he truly is. If you're anything like me, then the presence of Fred "The Hammer" Williamson should be all you need to make this film essential viewing. After spending years it seems in small parts or doing cameos, Williamson is front and center and even well into his seventies, there's no question that he could still kick your ass.

The rest of the cast does very well in their respective roles. Each character on the team has their own specialty which is always fun. When they all work together, each person actually needs to be there and are an important part in fulfilling their plan. The lesser known actors are obviously having fun hamming it up in the film and who wouldn't. Everett Ray Aponte, Dominik Starck, Josephine Hies, Nico Sentner (who also co-wrote and directed), Wolfgang Riehm (who is fantastic), and Hazuki Kato (a beautiful badass) give the picture personality and diversity. The film is tight, action-packed, and a damn good time.

It can sometimes be easy for critics to rip a B-movie apart for whatever reason. The fact is, B-movies are supposed to be fun. B grade action films are supposed to deliver the action. Nico Sentner's ATOMIC EDEN delivers both and in spades. Let loose and have a good time with this thrilling new entry in the B-Action film pantheon.

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.

ATOMIC EDEN is a film that delivers exactly what is expected, nothing at all. It proudly displays it's digital home-video Z-movie roots on it's sleeve and takes off running. Even though the majority of "actors" are complete unknowns, there are a few familiar faces who will most certainly make some wonder "Didnt I see this guy somewhere?..Maybe yes". Unknown German martial arts star Mike Moller could easily bury any future career with this. His fight choreography is nothing short of actually not bad and at least helps to set screenshots from ATOMIC EDEN as a wallpaper. Even though his role is just a few frames and seconds, DTV regular Lorenzo Lamas reminds us just how desperate for a paycheck he truly is. If you're anything like me, then the presence of Fred "The Hammer" Williamson top-billed should be all you need to think twice before watching it. After spending years in doing cameos, Williamson is front and center and even well into his seventies, there's no question that you will start kicking yourself halfway through the movie for starting it.

The rest of the "cast" wouldn't be able to act their way out of an elevator. Each character on the team has no talents whatsoever which is fun watching when you are drunk. When they all work together, each person actually needs to be there and are an important part for you understanding how much time you already wasted. The unknown actors look embarrassed and most likely closed their FB pages long ago - and who wouldn't. Everett Ray Aponte, Dominik Starck, Josephine Hies, Nico Sentner (who also co-wrote and directed - on his smartphone), Wolfgang Riehm (who likes to get paid), and Hazuki Kato (starring in Muppets Most Wanted) give the picture personality and confusion. The film is cheap, face-palm-slap-inducing, and a damn poor idea of wasting time.

It can sometimes be easy for producers to hype their Z-movie by fake reviews for whatever reason. The fact is, B-movies are supposed to be fun while Z grade home-video films are supposed to steal your time & money. Nico Sentner's ATOMIC EDEN steals both and in spades. Get a lobotomy and have a good time with this joke of a new entry in the Z-Action film pantheon.

****** After reading the first "review" on here, couldn't resist to put some things into perspective. This is not a b-movie, its a z-movie, ultra low budget shot on really poor digital cameras. Williamson did some good b-movies before, and this Moller guy seems to be a good martial arts artist, but this whole movie is an insult to b-movie fans. I think its possible to make better movies on the latest iPhone these days.

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.
