ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

invisibleunicornninja One time I was on a bus. That bus was with a summer camp and we were going to an aquarium. The distance from where the camp was located (it was at some college) to the aquarium was several hours long. This is one of the movies that played on the little TVs on the bus. Hanging out at the aquarium was more entertaining than the experience of watching this movie. This is a really boring movie with some decent animation. The characters are all idiots, and the plot is really dumb. I would not recommend this movie, but there are a few semi interesting moments (because of the art and devices not the story).

datautisticgamer-74853 As I had to return to Chicago tomorrow, I recommended to my aunt that we view this as a parting gift. It was the first time I had seen this film in over 16 years, so it felt fascinating to view it on VHS after all this time between her house and some theater I don't remember from my infancy. So what do I appreciate about this film?The story is rather nice with its idea of combining modern technology with what people in 1914 believed would be the near future, as well as providing a different perspective on Atlantis than the usual mythology. It isn't acted to its fullest (I noted some parts where Michael J. Fox's performance as Milo felt really off), but does pull off the occasional gag and passable action. I believe Lyle to be in the mid-tier of Disney Villains, as he has an impressive motivation but doesn't carry it out too effectively. The characters are a rather strong suit of this movie, with Milo of course having a familial legacy to develop and the Atlanteans being significantly more sophisticated than a society buried for centuries underwater would suggest initially. I found the specialists to be a tad above standard for somewhat minor characters, but they did contribute enough in the action and gags departments that I did have some fun. By far, however, the animation is the best thing about this movie; the character designs are really catching and the environments are among the best I have ever seen in a Disney movie. And oh goodness, the effects... I just can't describe them. And it's at that point when you know Disney is on another level altogether.As forgotten as this movie is in the Disney canon, the animation is sure to please Disney fans. Ones who have sci-fi hold them to captivity will likely get something out of this, though it's more for a slightly older audience compared to the average Disney movie. That said, families can enjoy it just fine.

Smoreni Zmaj I love to put my movie marathon on pause from time to time and watch some Disney cartoon for a change. It's healthy for a soul. From this one I did not expect anything at all and I was in for a pleasant surprise. Young and silly scientist gathers expedition to find Atlantis, but his crew are not who he thought they are. After about 20 minutes I lost any feeling that I am watching cartoon and I experienced this same as feature movie. It would be great if they would really make one. It hold attention and does not irritate you with too much niceness and morality, so it is not annoying to non-kids audience. It's not on the level with greatest Disney masterpieces but it definitely is worth watching. I really enjoyed it.7,5/10

SquigglyCrunch I loved this movie as a kid, and I remembered almost none of it. Watching it again I realize that it was a pretty good movie still. It follows a man who believes that Atlantis exists and goes searching for it. The plot of Atlantis: The Lost Empire is interesting. It doesn't waste any time getting right into the adventure, which wasn't surprising. It wasn't really a good thing either though. Other than that, the movie is well-paced and entertaining throughout. The history of Atlantis is one that I haven't seen before though, and it's quite interesting. Other than that it's not horribly original, but like I said, it's still enjoyable for sure. The characters aren't anything special. We get some brief back stories that don't really do much for the characters, but some of them work well enough. Still, they're rushed. Again, it's not like I'm surprised or anything, but it just limits the amount of people who will be able to fully enjoy this movie. The visuals are very good. The art style is very cool, and the character designs are great too. It doesn't stick right out in your face, but it's there, and I loved it. Overall Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a solid adventure movie. While it's ideas aren't particularly unique, it's well-paced and presented well enough. The characters and beginning are rushed, but the visuals are great and it's just all around a really enjoyable movie. In the end I would recommend this movie.
