Per Johnsen I sometimes wonder what actors think when they watch the result of their last project. and the movie not only is a disaster movie but a disaster. Are they just happy they got payed and can move on to the next, not at all concerned with their own artistic reputation? Atomic train is a disaster movie and even more a disaster of a movie, but I guess that's what you got not only Rob Lowe for, but all the people responsible for this rubbish. It's like much of the cargo on the train, a total waste, but someone's got to do it, as long as it pays the bills. It's a pity about Lowe, he's doing an alright job, but I had better hopes after watching him doing the best ever JFK impression in Killing Kennedy (2013), though Atomic Train is from 1999. He's not at all a bad actor, and that also goes for many in the cast here. But reading the script, doing some research, they should have stayed away and found another project. A film plot more full of logical flaws, characters with no common sense and total non realism, is hard to find, if not impossible.
jordy15-1 *Edit: Why did I gave it a 7? 4 is good enough.* Warning contains spoilers!Uh a few things straight i have the two our version so some things might not come over to your version if u have the four hour version. And this is what I think so you can have different minds than me Well I saw the film today and I must say I thought it was worse the only few things I didn't like is 1 the story could have been better if the bomb was placed by terrorists 2 Well the beginning was a bit rushed! the train starts riding one sec and loses it's brakes the other sec. I think also that the runaway itself was a bit rushed too! 3The end was way too long, The name of the movie was Atomic Train but almost 30 minutes before the movie ends the bomb already explodes and 30 boring minutes join in without any thing about the atomic train is self!.What I would have done 1Make the story interesting and more realistic by replacing that bomb with poison's chemicals or something like that 2Wel make the runaway scene a bit longer or the movie a bit shorter 1:30 hour is enough I think 3 uh And add a damn tank car! A chemical train without tank cars? never saw before! 4uh write a better script for sure. 5The character, make them interesting. I mean call one person you actually liked?? The people in the caboose? Nope, We don't know a thing about them! they don't seem to help at all! + I didn't care when tucker died! (Which is the worst thing that happens in a movie, don't care over a good guys death!)
RichN36 Actually this movie isn't so bad for a Made for TV Action Movie. Of course everything was over the top and the acting was sub par. It was the type of movie that if it can go wrong it will. You keep asking yourself can anything go right for these People????? and then nothing goes right for them. It is just one of those movies you have to watch and let the mind wander and enjoy this movie is best watched if you have a big storm outside and you can't go anywhere so might as well sit back and have fun.Of course there are plot holes you can drive a Steam Train Through. But what Made for TV movie doesn't. Some Charters are droped before the first half of the movie is over and you never see them again and you go through the rest of the movie wondering if they will ever show up again.My biggest gripe of the movie is some of the actions of the Charters get them into the Problems they have. If only they follow the Rules or directions this movie wouldn't have had the same Ending it did. Just following the Rules would of caused the Train to have a happy ending.But don't worry it is a Great time killer full of hammy acting and Cheap FX.
pukasan This is a movie of a "net", it has nothing but holes. However...the movie is so ridiculously lousy that it made me laugh and i can't help to start liking it , Maybe they made the movie this way on purpose because it's impossible to get this many morons working together and make a movie this bad.Think about A.T. as a "Mystery Science Theater 3000" movie then you can really enjoy non-stop laughing and cussing for 2 good hours. Every character in A.T. dies with a great-hilarious reason. i love every part when people get killed in this movie. the fat guy fell off and got smashed by the train, a kid climbed back up the train from the last car but tripped and got killed walking toward the back? and it's super funny when the "water is better than nothing" helicopter hillbillies screw up and, BOOM!. They should really make more people die in this movie. maybe Kristin Davis and Mena Suvari can show their boobs in the movie, they should get killed while having sex or swimming naked. and also, where is the dog in this movie? there should always be a dog in a movie like this, It can be a goofy K9 dog helping a bimbo soldier disarming the nuke weapon and both got toasted.by the way, this movie is totally not shot in Colorado, (very likely in BC, Canada). But of course they don't care if you know or notice it. This movie can be fantastic when you are high, it's so much more entertaining than "jeepers creepers". If you like this movie because it's just ridiculously dumb and funny, you might love "the Room", that is a cult classic of this kind!
