Reviews

Davis P This movie truthfully isn't Disney's best work, there's definitely been better by them, but this film is still fun and entertaining. Everyone has heard of Atlantis, and the myth/legend of the lost empire. This movie is set in 1914, the beginning takes place in Washington DC, where the main character Milo is trying to plead his case to his superiors to let him continue with his Atlantis research, and to let him go on an expedition. They laugh in his face and refuse. He is discouraged and almost ready to give up hope when he is visited by a mysterious woman who offers him a chance to go in search of Atlantis with a crew. This crew is experienced and very diverse. As far as the crew goes, I liked the different characters, some of them are humorous and some are mysterious/sketchy. The film does a great job with Milo and with the villainous characters as well. I also thought the animation was done in a very skilled fashion, and the effects are done well, visually appealing. The story has a likable way about it, the chemistry between the two main characters is nice to watch and the scenes once they get to Atlantis are very captivating and have a "magical" kind of feel to them. I think everyone can find something to enjoy in this film. 8/10.

gavin6942 A young adventurer named Milo Thatch (Michael J. Fox) joins an intrepid group of explorers to find the mysterious lost continent of Atlantis.The film has the makings of a cult classic. Joss Whedon was the first writer to be involved with the film but soon left to work on other Disney projects. According to him, he "had not a shred" in the movie, which is a shame. The artistic style comes from the same hand as the creator of "Hellboy", which probably attracted a certain audience. And the protagonist is a descendant of the the legendary Blackbeard, which opened up some interesting world-building possibilities.But the story is not as good as it could be, and the idea of different languages is cool but simplistic. The idea that a language an be translated letter by letter in nonsense, on top of the fact that "Iceland" and "Ireland" would both be in English... that is a bit silly.

SquigglyCrunch I loved this movie as a kid, and I remembered almost none of it. Watching it again I realize that it was a pretty good movie still. It follows a man who believes that Atlantis exists and goes searching for it. The plot of Atlantis: The Lost Empire is interesting. It doesn't waste any time getting right into the adventure, which wasn't surprising. It wasn't really a good thing either though. Other than that, the movie is well-paced and entertaining throughout. The history of Atlantis is one that I haven't seen before though, and it's quite interesting. Other than that it's not horribly original, but like I said, it's still enjoyable for sure. The characters aren't anything special. We get some brief back stories that don't really do much for the characters, but some of them work well enough. Still, they're rushed. Again, it's not like I'm surprised or anything, but it just limits the amount of people who will be able to fully enjoy this movie. The visuals are very good. The art style is very cool, and the character designs are great too. It doesn't stick right out in your face, but it's there, and I loved it. Overall Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a solid adventure movie. While it's ideas aren't particularly unique, it's well-paced and presented well enough. The characters and beginning are rushed, but the visuals are great and it's just all around a really enjoyable movie. In the end I would recommend this movie.

OllieSuave-007 Disney's 41st full-length animated feature film is a story about a young adventurer named Milo Thatch, who joins a group of explorers to find the lost continent of Atlantis.This movie brings back Beauty and the Beast directors Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, who gave us quite an adventurous movie full of sci-fi action and drama. Being a film set in 1914, the character dialog didn't sound too slapstick or modern, which fits the story better. The animation wasn't as colorful or vibrant as in earlier animated pieces in the Disney canon, but it is serviceable. The visual effects, particularly for the action and magic scenes, were done well and mesmerizing.However, there was very little storyline to the movie due to its predictable moments, lack of interesting characters and character development and limited intrigue. Nothing really sticks out or captures my attention and there is room for plot holes to fill, as much of the magic roots of Atlantis (like the electrical flying cars and how the Atlantis people survived for so long) were never really explained.Overall, the Atlantis concept of the story is interesting, but the it's not one of the better Disney movies out there.Grade C-
