tkaine3 This film was enjoyable Dominic Monaghan stole the show. The acting was above par and Tom Sizemore was in about 20% of it towards the end. It definitely could of been worse on this budget but the writing and storyline held up. Some of Ms.Habel's scenes were a little out of sorts at times I felt I was watching a soft porn flick... NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING. But on a budget that was minimal this film held it's own and I can say it was a pretty good film.. Sci-fi fans who don't have sticks up their butt will enjoy.

Al McDowall I so rarely write reviews, despite watching an awful lot of movies. This one was poor enough that I was motivated to pop down a warning for any who might think 'Ah, I'll give it a go'I don't mind a low budget approach to SciFi, I can look past less than perfect FX and CGI, I don't even consider bad science a deal-breaker. Bad writing, bad acting, insanely obvious 'twist' and lack of satisfying dismount, however - that's enough to get me to put finger to keyboard and declare this a real dud. The actress playing Abby was awful, bless her. Though, to be fair, the script was pretty sub-par so she didn't have a lot to work with. Dominic did his best but the shot choices, off-pace editing and, again, poor source material meant his efforts simply came across as hammy. With better direction on all areas, he at least could have salvaged some dignity. Tom Sizemore was barely in it and had little to do.The premise of the film is not the worst, and in more capable hands could have been at least an entertaining diversion. However, the actual final result looks like a rushed, b-grade (at best) made for TV gap filler for when the decent shows are on hiatus. SyFy has shown what they are capable of with The Expanse (among others). This was simply not a good movie on any level.

Tina Willis No spoilers here. I added another point to my rating because I whole heartily disagree with the low reviews. Although those looking for high tech fancy sci-fi special affects, and action packed fight scenes, (this story is not about that),they will be disappointed. What it DOES have, is some very believable acting. And although a modest setting as most of the movie is shown in a debilitated run down power facility in the future, it is believable. Most of the movie has a lot of dialogue between two characters. That in itself may turn some viewers off. But the story/pace gives little bits at a time, to build suspense, yet gives enough that the characters aren't flat/one dimensional... It is a slow burn thriller, and for a lower budget film, I thought this was excellently done. The lower ratings are not fair. I believe it IS NOT due to the QUALITY of this movie, but rather, the viewing preferences, of the viewer.

drhall-672-138129 Few sci-fi character actors outshine the effects and set, this effort stands head and shoulders above CGI due to the tight story line and Excellent acting from D. Monaghan and Sarah Habel. Tom Sizemore has pivotal role in the finale and good to see him living up to his potential. Wayyy better than the big budget busts starring big buck stars. The reason for eight versus 10 stars is the slow script which takes off after a very long buildup, the incredulous position of the protagonist, Abby/Sarah Habel, and the SPOILER ALERT potential to have more fully developed the background of the notorious company profit posturing vs. human sacrifice.The industry has lagged since the inception of The Trilogy for lack of strong character roles and believable story lines, Atomica will live for a very long time as a prime example of an excellent story, film and acting on a very small budget! What The Shining did for horror, ATomica will be known for revitalizing good small budget sci-fi films.
