Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

stitham I was IN this movie--I have got the last line as the tourist--and agree it's pretty weak. It's not even on DVD. BUT just like your unfortunate-looking baby, it's got a warm spot in my heart. Basically it was made as a low-budget flick, $3 million, for Starz-Encore and they certainly got their money's worth as it's played a ton of times on Sci-Fi Channel and of course Starz-Encore. Filmed entirely on Oahu in the fall of 1996. The last scene of "Stonehenge" had some pillars of "stone" that were actually moving with the wind when we filmed! The lack of chemistry between the leading lady and man is laughable. I have not seen any of the leads in anything since.

Pharaoh-in-de-Nile This is the worst film I have ever seen in my life...it is too crap for words, its filled with dumb Nazis and various other stupid characters and the plot is just s**t.The worst part is when they leave the captain of the ship stuck to this wall that you can never get unstuck from, and thus leave him to die in a horrible and slow way...all this with the usual 'funny' music that they always play on scenes like this in these dumb films.Oh, and at the end they come up from Atlantis and end up at Stonehenge which is in southern England...who comes up with this crap.Other 'scenes' include a brand new take on 'The Deerhunter' and a whole new meaning to the word 'dumb'.I'm not even going to give this a '1(awful)' as this seems to good for this...This film should be placed under the dictionary definitions of 'Stupid','Crap' and 'Waste of Time'....Seriously don't waste your time watching this heap o' garbage!

Kate T Escape from Atlantis is the best of the bad. I myself have seen it a few times just because I love it so much. Is the storyline predictable? Yes! Is the acting shabby? Absolutely! Are the characters clichéd? You betcha! Is it more fun to watch than most other crappy sci-fi/fantasy movies? Oh yeah! This is not the kind of movie you watch if you want to be dazzled by special effects or blinded by brilliance, but it is the kind of movie you watch if you just want to have some fun laughing at an incredibly shoddy piece of work. When one watches this movie, one has to wonder if the writer of the screenplay and the director deliberately made it so bad. If you don't appreciate this movie for its crap value, you don't get the joke.

Simchi Pop (artetiegr) While the overall idea of Escape from Atlantis was intriguing, I found the film to be far less than what I had hoped for upon reading the plot summery. Perhaps I am too much of a child in the technological age: the movie was made, as it is now 2002, an official five years ago --after viewing fantasy epics such as Lord of the Rings, and science fiction feats like Star Wars, as a whole it could not compare to other movies of similar line such as Dinotopia or Homer's The Odyssey.My beef, basically, is that I couldn't relate --I am just about the same age of the children (a young adult), and have no trouble putting myself in the place of a middle-aged man if that is the character available. But the picture did not take me to a different mental plain of existence. I didn't find myself saying 'ACK! I would have done the SAME thing!'. It did not open the doors to my imagination. Even without comparing it to high-budget films or other TV movies, standing alone, certain aspects of the feature I found to be cliche: The character development in the children occurred too rapidly for my liking, seeing too much of the stereotypical selfish-teenager-bitter-after-divorce image changing into the we're-a-big-happy-family-let's-never-separate-again feel that can ultimately make or break a picture in the long run. Even the characters themselves could have undergone improvement: a typical set of one or the other stereotypes. There was the ever-present selfish beauty looking to be rebellious, accompanied by Mr. Perfect image of combining athletics, good looks and intelligence yet a brooding attitude, and lastly the smart-aleck little brother we find to be so common these days. While I know the personalities pushed the story along, I think that adding more individuality as far as nuances and more unique differences would have made it a more enjoyable --and believable (as far as character)-- movie.I do have to raise my glass to the costume and set design --that made it worth finishing to the end for me. Don't get me wrong: all movies are worth seeing for yourself, and the opinion of one could never account for the opinion of many, but I think that with a little more depth to the script, and a little more (I cannot believe I am saying this) realness I dare say Escape from Atlantis could have been magical.
