A wave of surprises
As in a wicked game of chess, Atlantis Down strategically zigzags and jumps across a landscape of human frailty and vulnerability, inviting the viewer to question their own potential defenselessness under threat of attack by a 'being' that can't be seen, touched or truly known. This Sci-Fi film cleverly moves towards a subtle, but powerful question: Does one ostensibly have the power to affect outcomes based on the thoughts and the choices they make in the "game" that is life? This concept creeps up on you. Goose pimples tickle your flesh sort of freezing your mind and body and hold you hostage to its building intensity and wave of surprises.
Painful to watch
I wanted to like this movie, but it was painful to watch. It might have been an okay 20-minute short, but 90 minutes of meandering dialog and pointless plot turns was far too long. I can't believe the rave reviews here, like some others, I wonder if I was watching the same movie.
