What reviewers say

Common ground

It's a low-budget Asylum production that aims for cheesy B-movie fun and delivers a mixed experience hinging on taste.

Fans praised

  • fun, deliberately cheesy Asylum-style fare that works as a laugh
  • Veronica Issa's villain performance stands out
  • decent low-budget cast not exaggerated like typical shoestring films

Detractors panned

  • cheap, shoddy production with visible budget constraints (props, sets)
  • poor acting, especially from Atlantis extras and lead
  • incoherent plot cramming Atlantis, Bermuda Triangle, nuclear weapons, climate change

What stands out

PacingDivisive40

short but drags, boring in places, picks up later

ActingDivisive25

cast mostly poor; Veronica Issa and Fred Williamson stand out as exceptions

Effects and spectacle25

spotty CGI, some good shots but flashback-only, low-budget feel

OriginalityDivisive25

derivative Asylum mockbuster of Aquaman/Black Panther

Cinematography20

soap-opera lighting, cheap sets, unremarkable shot craft

Plot and storyDivisive15

crammed, nonsensical blend of Atlantis, Bermuda Triangle, nuclear weapons, climate change

CharactersDivisive15

inconsistent characterization, forgettable except villain

Dialogue15

clichéd villain speech, 'fluent bad guy'

The rideThe premise suggests some suspense but reviews note dull stretches and a climactic explosion, making the heaviest stretch late.
StructureThe story follows a conventional beginning (crash), middle (exploration of Atlantis), and end (confrontation and escape).
