I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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.

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.

My kids (14 and 11) laughed all the way through. Note: this is NOT a comedy. Some parts kind of grab you but this is really very campy. I was surprised to see this make the STARZ lineup. Still entertaining in an off sort of way.The acting is mostly borderline amateur. Some of the lines delivered by Kristina Roper combined her hand gestures resulted in howling laughter. At times Kristina's acting was serviceable. She is stunningly beautiful. In one fight scene where Kristina is supposed to be attacking with a whip, her style looks more like she's doing a ring toss. Really great fun.Speakman, the Dad, shows considerable prowess with swords. But most of the fight scenes are crazy low production. The action scenes being several levels below the original Lost in Space.

You gotta love the cheesy low budget movies. This one comes complete with bad effects, props and bad acting (really bad). Plus, every time I see Mercedes McNab (the sister) I keep thinking 'Watch out! She's a vamp!"- for those that know Buffy/Angel.A perfect example of what happens when someone with bad taste and wants to waste money making a flick, the little that was spent of course. I don't know if I feel more sorry for the writer of the movie or the producer who didn't make back any money.I'd say it's good for little kids in it's simplicity, but I don't know if I'd want to subject a kid to it...umm...1/10 because that's the lowest it will go.
