ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

stevebelair 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.

rp68711 Atlantis Down is definitely a must see movie. It keeps the suspense very high from the beginning to the end of the story, making you continuously wonder what's coming next. Oftentimes, it reminds of Hitchcock's movies when several possible shocks occur completely breaking the expectation based on the previous scenes. At the end, still many interpretations are plausible. It's a never-ending story, or a story where it's up to the watcher to decide what the most plausible end of the movie should be among the several underlined by the developments.It's intriguing and deep. It makes you think, and you do want to watch it again.

erminiascarcella Atlantis down is a movie directed by the Italian Max Bartoli. In this movie you can see the trauma of childhood surfacing into consciousness under the form of a bursting Flash Back experiences with the possession of the Ego. The wound gets infected and takes, the one affected, away from the cohesiveness of the group destroying the individual who is unable to connect with the other members who frantically attempt to rescue him/her from the inevitable self-destruction. The individual [ who in turn is affected by the unresolved childhood wound] has an inner battle between the powerful emotional memory from the wound and the impotent Ego. This movie has also placed in evidence the importance of where the series of the events take place: the spaceship in the space symbolized an attempt to escape the Mother Earth while exploring galaxies; the unexpected landing in the nowhere zone in the Earth symbolizes the necessary return to the Earth in order to attempt to heal the wound but as often it can occurs when wound erupts powerfully in the consciousness, the individual and group have lost the connection with the real world. They are lost in the wood, they search for human life, they are separated from civilization while desperately longing for it! This can in the analytic psychology of C.G. JUNG can be seeing as the desperate journey of a single individual with his different parts represented by the others with the immersion in to the unconscious risking the loss of consciousness. The emotions from early wounds are destroying the Ego, which is represented by the main character of the movie who is in a constant dialogue with the other people representing different parts of self. The fragmentation and the weakness of the Ego bring the destruction of the individual and the separation from the world. The story, the visuals, the acting and the sound track are of very good quality and take you into the drama of human kind, where isolation, loss, fragmentation , dissolution, desperation are experienced vividly Erminia Scarcella, MD President of Jung Society of Washington DC

franca4569 When my husband and I first heard about it, we had very little faith in this project. We live between Williamsburg and D.C. and a couple of friends strongly suggested us to check this out, so we went to Portsmouth the day of the last show. After seeing the film, though, I must confess I was stupefied and confused at the same time. The technical achievement of this movie is phenomenal (assuming it's true it was a low budget). The director, the Italian Max Bartoli, creates a unique look and directs a very eclectic cast of unknown and more experienced actors often forcing them to step out of their comfort zone and still delivering some great work. The soundtrack penned by another Italian, Rino Amato, got me involved since the beginning and deserves to be complimented. The cinematography is incredible as well as the editing and almost every other element in it. Atlantis Down is an amazing independent movie, but it's not for everyone because it makes you think a lot even after you've left the theater!
