Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

ElijahCSkuggs Story revolves around an escaped, die-hard romantic stuntman, a small-town singer, a sleazy businessman, a slow-witted villager who hurts his dog so he can hear it sing, and oh yeah, an alien invasion. Honestly this sounds like a pretty sweet flick. But for some reason, it just doesn't succeed in any particular area.Atomik Circus features some good acting, especially by the dude who was the lead in Man Bites Dog, Benoit Poelvoorde. He was actually pretty memorable as the sleazy businessman who ends up suffering from an alien bite. Also, I had no clue Jason Flemyng could speak French. He didn't have really long lines, so maybe he just jumped on board because it seemed like an easy and fun role....that was probably it.The movie had a weird vibe that reminded me of the movie Undead. Probably because it had a similar style, especially with the blood and gore. Atomik Circus had a real cooky vibe that felt like it was trying too hard to amuse the viewer. At times I was amused, by the over-the-top violence, but never really by anything jokey. The dude with the missing face, that completely fell flat.Atomik Circus is a weird flick, and I can see many people enjoying it, and many people hating it. I'm in the middle ground because there were some good things about it, but overall it just kinda felt like a jumbled mess. Definitely a unique genre hybrid though, that's for sure. 5.5 outta 10

LARSONRD Energetic and frequently mind-blowing excursion into manic cinema, this is a thoroughly enjoyable cross-genre science fiction tale – starts out as a love story between a backwoods wannabe rock starlet Concia (Vanessa Paradis, who has a face worth staring at for decades - damn you Johnny Depp!!) and a down-on-his-luck motorcycle stunt performer James (Brit actor Jason Flemyng); but her dad (respected French actor Jean-Pierre Marielle; aka the murdered professor from DA VINCI CODE) frames him for an accident and he goes to jail; but he escapes to try and be reunited with her. Meanwhile, face-sucking aliens land and begin decimating the populace, while in James' absence a chauvinistic entrepreneur claiming to be big in the music business tries to woo Concia with promises of stardom, while all manner of strange and warped townspeople have various activities and agendas of their own. It all explodes into an immense action climax. Filmed with hyper energy, most of its low budget spent on pretty convincing CGI effects for the aliens (I mean, they even have a mechanical dog instead of a real dog!), it's a thoroughly wonderful cinematic insanity, with something astonishing, humorous, disturbing, or very appealing at every turn.

ironic0n maybe later i'll chill out and be able to judge more objectively - but with a fresh impression of just seen movie - it is definitely the worst i have ever seen. and such an impression worths sharing. any plot doesn't exist at all acting appearances are absent. including that of Vanessa Paradis - the one actress who could rise expectations. as a fiction movie, it does not meet expectations of spectacularity (do i spell right?) it makes farce of all genres, referred to it: nor horror, neither sci-fi, comedy nor adventure. the film is not one of them, rather a grotesque of itself.may be for one exception of musical appearance of an original singer - and that's what gives to 'atomik circus' not a negative evaluation or 1(awful) but 2/10

gilos This definitely stroke below my lowest move fan's expectations. Aliens strike a remote country village during a song contest. Vanessa Paradis is the village's only music talent and daughter of the bartender. Her convict boyfriend is in town after escaping from prison, so is Benoit Poelvoorde as a funky impresario on a business trip. Aliens strike and everybody dies in a pseudo-arty style, where gore meets spaghetti western. The girl and the convict land another dimension (sic) and the credits finally appear. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one. All you will miss are the few funny lines of B. Poelvoorde who once again demonstrates natural comedic talent - although not hugely different from past performances e.g. Podium, Le Vélo,...
