FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Aleksandar Sarkic The Raiders of Atlantis is really something special, i have watched a lot of strange, bizzare and trashy movies, especially from the 80s but this one beats em all. It has the most bizzare story that Atlanteans are Biker Punk Gang and they want to wipe out whole humanity, this story can only be written in the 80s. the whole movie is like you take some hallucinogenic drug and had a trip. A lot of action, explosions, gore, killings and with great synthisizer driven music in the background. The soundtrack is one of the best from the b-movies, total proto-synthwave stuff. Charachters are enjoyable Christopher Connelly and Tony King does the great job as main protagonist, also supporting cast has done solid job. I would say that the movie looks like a strange mixture of Assault On Prectinct 13, Big Trouble In Little China (note that Big Trouble is filmed three year later maybe Carpenter got some ideas watching this one) and Mad Max with some Italian twist and humour. This is must watch for all fans of cheesy and bizzare 80's stuff, definetely one of the best.

Leofwine_draca THE ATLANTIS INTERCEPTORS is a somewhat quick and slapdash addition to the Italian mini-wave of post-apocalypse movies that came out in the wake of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and the first two MAD MAX movies. This one is directed by Ruggero Deodato and it's fair to say that it's not one of his best films, lacking the raw power of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST for example. However, it does still manage to be one of his more entertaining efforts despite the shortcomings.The first thing to mention here is that THE ATLANTIS INTERCEPTORS makes little sense in terms of plot. Atlantis rises to the surface after a nuclear accident and is protected by a giant plastic bubble. The inhabitants are the usual weirdly-dressed goons from the MAD MAX films, presided over by cult ninja star Bruce Baron playing a guy called 'Crystal Skull'. His appearance has to be seen to be believed.Against them are a motley group of heroes played by the usual Italian stars like Ivan Rassimov and Christopher Connelly. Even Antonio Margheriti Tony King is here as the token black guy with a talent for kicking ass. What follows is an endless stream of action scenes as the plot barely strings together one set-piece following another. There's a siege on a house, a foot chase, a chase in a bus that directly references MAD MAX 2, and even some helicopter action. The ending goes into overt sci-fi territory and is the worst part of the movie, making little sense.The sheer wealth of action in this film is what keeps it moving. There's the occasional gore effect of a decapitation or slashing but mainly this is about firepower, explosions, and stunt men earning their money. The early scenes in which the characters explore their newly-destroyed world are quite eerie and atmospheric, but these are soon dispensed with in favour of endless cheesy action. What harm is there in that? None in my book. THE ATLANTIS INTERCEPTORS is shallow but never less than fun.

dirk275 Mike and Washington are two mercenaries who kidnap some guy for 50,000 dollars and head out to sea for some R&R. At the same time scientists are raising a Russian sub only to somehow trigger the rise of Atlantis. Mike and Wash manage to rescue a few scientists that are lost at sea and head to an island. The island, however, has been wasted by bikers who are descendants of Atlantis. Mike and his team try to rescue a captured scientist and get away safe. Along the way there's lots of gore and gun-play.I saw this movie as a teen. I loved it then and I loved it when I saw it again recently. Admittedly, a suspension of reality is needed. The plot is far-fetched and there are some things that just aren't explained.For instance, no one explains how the character of Crystal Skull knew how Atlantis was coming. The lady scientist ends up in the chopper at the end and we're not told how she got there. A lot of film time is wasted watching a copter land when it could've been used to fill us in on the plot holes.But in spite of these things this movie is a whole lot of fun. The action is nonstop. Tony King and Chris Connolly are great as the two male leads. They have a great chemistry. There are moments of humor too. A fight with a German military man stops because Mike drops his cash and they realize they are both good guys. You have to see it to get what I mean. A biker gets beheaded with wire in another great scene. All in all this one won't leave you bored. I recommend it. It's tough to come across so good luck getting it. It's worth finding.

HaemovoreRex From Ruggero Deodato, the director who gave us the incredibly powerful and disturbing Cannibal Holocaust comes this lighter weight action yarn from 1983.It utilises the intriguing central premise of the resurfacing of Atlantis as a catalyst for mass violence when the descendants of the aforementioned long lost continent, who are now living amongst us, take to the streets in heavily armed gangs and set about annihilating the rest of mankind.The future of the human race appears to rest in the hands of a small group of people who escape the initial wave of urban anarchy whilst they are out at sea.But returning to dry land how can so few defeat so many? The above plot provides the basis for scene after scene of urban shoot outs and ferocious pitched battles against the marauding hordes of leather clad, painted faced bikers as our heroes fight for survival in a world that has descended into chaos.A great assembled cast of B-movie favourites including Christopher Connelly, Tony King and Ivan Rassimov head this fairly enjoyable effort that is certainly never dull and boasts some admittedly very exciting scenes ala. Assault On Precinct 13.Added to this some great stunt work, with some very noteworthy scenes involving a mini bus and you have a solid 90 mins or so of action entertainment.However……it has to be said that the film makes virtually no sense at all! It appears to have been cobbled hurriedly together sans any logic which sadly serves to seriously undermine it.It's almost as if, in a desperate attempt to cramp in as many action scenes (copied from other movies) into one picture, the makers forgot to provide a plot that links the said scenes together.The end result is a decidedly disjointed affair to put it mildly.However, I don't wish to be too hard on the film for viewed as an action movie it certainly delivers the goods by the bucket load.As a final note, fans of those lovable cut and splice ninja movies from the 1980's as produced en masse by Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai will delight to see non other than Bruce Baron as the head villain in this, although he spends most of his screen time beneath a 'crystal' mask.
