Nonureva Really Surprised!

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Paul Jackson This movie should win or be in the category the worst film ever made. I cannot say anything good about it at all. The acting, writing, direction, scenery, and everything else is just so poor. However, I would actually recommend that you see this film just to believe that it was made. The first half of the film is about the journey to the center of the world. Then people go missing, some without any reason. Then the second half is about the lost city of Atlantis which I believe is the 2nd half of another film which they obviously thought would work together. It didn't. If you like B movies then it might be funny to you. But, to anyone else, it really sucks. Gave it 1 out of 10 because there is no option of 0 out of 10.

Gaston_01 This is a low budget movie that is remarkably charming and entertaining. The biggest logic hole for me is that the underground dwellers routinely speak English: Even if previous visitors had visited before (as alluded to), the inhabitants would mostly speak something other than English: The walls bear a different language but they speak English... Not a serious movie, but Janet DuPlessis as the villain really stands out as does the concept of a weird underground dictatorship...There is an unmistakable 80s charm to the surface world that is (to me) irresistible, as is the depiction of Atlantis, though the attempt at making it ridiculous are often unfunny... Its atmosphere is quite strange as a result... In between, the subterranean journey on the way down is very well done, set-wise, but a little tedious.The original "prequel" to that movie was the Kathy Ireland vehicle called "Alien from L.A.": Despite being a more seriously funded attempt at a movie, it is comparatively completely unwatchable... A villain appears and his face remains hidden in the darkness, so he has to announce himself out loud... Katy Ireland"s voice is so awful it has to be heard to be believed: They even make jokes about it in the movie.. That sort of thing... It is totally stupid, ugly and incoherent in every scene... Janet DuPlessis stands out, again, but is too rarely seen, and it is no wonder "Alien from L.A." never plays on TV, while the surprisingly charming and infinitely better improvised "sequel" is still occasionally seen, and a lot of fun...One definitely gets the sense it could have been a lot more: Most of the ideas are unexploited and substituted with lame humour for lack of funds... G.

Woodyanders Spunky British nanny Crystina (cute Nicola Cowper, who sports a vintage 80's Cyndi Lauper-like short spiky hairdo) and squabbling brothers Bryan (obnoxious Ilan Mitchell-Smith of "Weird Science") and Richard (jerky Paul Carafotes) discover the fantastic and dangerous subterranean city of Atlantis while exploring a cave. Said city is ruled by a strict totalitarian government that doesn't take kindly to any strangers from the above ground world. Man, is this flick a real incredibly baffling and barely coherent mishmosh of two separate movies: Director Rusty Lemorande had his finished feature taken away from him by callous studio executives and completed by director Albert Pyun, who turned the movie into a bizarre and baffling sort of sequel to his delightfully inane "Alien from L.A.". The resultant patchwork abomination comes complete with draggy pacing, severe lapses in basic logic (Richard gets a face full of steam, but doesn't suffer any burns whatsoever!), annoying characters, silly dream scenes, shoddy (not so) special effects, a laboriously drawn-out opening third, garish cinematography (the film often resembles a very tacky 80's music video stretched out to feature length), funky, syncopated music, irritating use of wipes, a ridiculous music montage sequence, and a totally nonsensical ending. Janet Du Plessis has a nifty dual role as helpful rat lady Shank and evil eye-patched General Rykov, Kathy Ireland makes a cameo appearance as Wanda Saknussemm, and eccentric stand-up comedian Emo Philips can be briefly glimpsed in one of the dream scenes. Despite its frequently dumbfounding cheesiness and pervasive feeling of heavy lethargy, this oddity still manages to be strangely watchable and entertaining. By no means a good film, but a deliciously dreadful piece of dreck that hardcore bad cinema aficionados should get a kick out of seeing.

jimdmurphy This film is the worst film I have ever seen. The story line is weak - I couldn't even follow it. The acting is high-schoolish. The sound track is irritating. The attempts at humor are not. The editing is horrible. The credits are even slow - I would be embarrassed to have my name associated with this waste of film. Don't waste your time even thinking about this attempt at acting.
