Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

xredgarnetx You've heard of dark territory. In ATOMIC TRAIN, welcome to stupid territory. A nuclear device is aboard a runaway train headed for Denver, and it is up to Rob Lowe (!) to save everyone. A fun movie to watch in part for the inept acting and implausible plot, ATOMIC TRAIN is longer than the train itself, and runs for what seems like endless hours. You know Lowe isn't going to die, so it becomes a game to see how often the scripters can put his life in peril. We also know the bomb cannot blow up simply by crashing the train, so we watch bemusedly as everyone frets and runs riot, thinking they are going to die. Watch it for Lowe, if no other reason. He acts his little heart out.

stanleymchale Here in the UK we have a channel called Five which is well known for showing rubbish films, especially during the day.So when I saw a film called Atomic Train scheduled on that very channel this afternoon, I could have been excused for fearing the worst.But Atomic Train is an outstanding production. I've always liked Rob Lowe's work, and in this instance he's again terrific.I've also been a fan of trains for many years and so a film that contained Mr Lowe and a freight train was already off on the right foot with me.But I couldn't have prepared myself for such a gripping ride. The set pieces are magnificent and certainly eek the best out of what must have been a substantial budget. The scenery and photography are also wonderful.In terms of structure, the film builds brilliantly, with an air of suspense filling the room as the train hurtles towards Denver. I can't recommend Atomic Train highly enough to fans of both trains and atomic weapons, but also to anyone wanting a hearty afternoon of pure escapism.I can't understand why people have scored the film poorly for being unrealistic. And yet, they wont say Terminator 2 is unrealistic. Which it is. More so. The chances of creating androids that can ride a motorbike are very slim, even in the future. And time travel? No. That's even more unrealistic. So before deciding to write Atomic Train off, why not consider this;At least trains exist. As do, unfortunately, atomic weapons. Therefore the film is quite realistic.

pukasan This is a movie of a "net", it has nothing but holes. However...the movie is so ridiculously lousy that it made me laugh and i can't help to start liking it , Maybe they made the movie this way on purpose because it's impossible to get this many morons working together and make a movie this bad.Think about A.T. as a "Mystery Science Theater 3000" movie then you can really enjoy non-stop laughing and cussing for 2 good hours. Every character in A.T. dies with a great-hilarious reason. i love every part when people get killed in this movie. the fat guy fell off and got smashed by the train, a kid climbed back up the train from the last car but tripped and got killed walking toward the back? and it's super funny when the "water is better than nothing" helicopter hillbillies screw up and, BOOM!. They should really make more people die in this movie. maybe Kristin Davis and Mena Suvari can show their boobs in the movie, they should get killed while having sex or swimming naked. and also, where is the dog in this movie? there should always be a dog in a movie like this, It can be a goofy K9 dog helping a bimbo soldier disarming the nuke weapon and both got toasted.by the way, this movie is totally not shot in Colorado, (very likely in BC, Canada). But of course they don't care if you know or notice it. This movie can be fantastic when you are high, it's so much more entertaining than "jeepers creepers". If you like this movie because it's just ridiculously dumb and funny, you might love "the Room", that is a cult classic of this kind!

eustace-1 I'm late to this party; it just came on TV (actually, is on as I write) and I, unfortunately, tuned it in thinking it the least of many evils. Should have watched the Mayberry RFD marathon of episodes I've already seen 10 E3 times, including the original airings. At least they bring back memories of a simpler time, when we literally left our doors unlocked and didn't bat an eye at hitchhiking to Florida, not worried about being raped, sodomized, dismembered, and dropped in a 55 gallon drum off a bridge.This movie is execrable. Others have already pointed out the many, many, MANY, errors of fact. I will simply note that the basic premise of the movie itself, the runaway train due to lost air pressure, should have clued the producers before they read past the first five pages of this abomination of a script. It has been 135 years since Westinghouse patented his first air brake. This is NOT state of the art technology, and how any moron, even the cretins who produce made-for-TV movies, could base an entire movie's plot on this idea simply escapes me.Loved the cast, hated the maudlin shyte they had to spout to play their roles in this misbegotten, miserable mess. What a joke! Fortunately, after the first 15 minutes I realized that it was irredeemable and spent the remainder of the air time doing some much-needed cleaning out and organization of my email folders. It was (is) on mainly for background noise, although I must admit that I did give it my attention during the more spectacular moments, the only thing offered by this garbage, and those regrettably separated by the batcrap that passed for dialogue and character development and interaction. Oh, well, at least it was abridged for this showing. GOK what it must have been like to watch the whole bloody thing when it was released.
