Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Pharaoh-in-de-Nile This is the worst film I have ever seen in my life...it is too crap for words, its filled with dumb Nazis and various other stupid characters and the plot is just s**t.The worst part is when they leave the captain of the ship stuck to this wall that you can never get unstuck from, and thus leave him to die in a horrible and slow way...all this with the usual 'funny' music that they always play on scenes like this in these dumb films.Oh, and at the end they come up from Atlantis and end up at Stonehenge which is in southern England...who comes up with this crap.Other 'scenes' include a brand new take on 'The Deerhunter' and a whole new meaning to the word 'dumb'.I'm not even going to give this a '1(awful)' as this seems to good for this...This film should be placed under the dictionary definitions of 'Stupid','Crap' and 'Waste of Time'....Seriously don't waste your time watching this heap o' garbage!
Kate T Escape from Atlantis is the best of the bad. I myself have seen it a few times just because I love it so much. Is the storyline predictable? Yes! Is the acting shabby? Absolutely! Are the characters clichéd? You betcha! Is it more fun to watch than most other crappy sci-fi/fantasy movies? Oh yeah! This is not the kind of movie you watch if you want to be dazzled by special effects or blinded by brilliance, but it is the kind of movie you watch if you just want to have some fun laughing at an incredibly shoddy piece of work. When one watches this movie, one has to wonder if the writer of the screenplay and the director deliberately made it so bad. If you don't appreciate this movie for its crap value, you don't get the joke.
watchedtoomanybadmovies You gotta love the cheesy low budget movies. This one comes complete with bad effects, props and bad acting (really bad). Plus, every time I see Mercedes McNab (the sister) I keep thinking 'Watch out! She's a vamp!"- for those that know Buffy/Angel.A perfect example of what happens when someone with bad taste and wants to waste money making a flick, the little that was spent of course. I don't know if I feel more sorry for the writer of the movie or the producer who didn't make back any money.I'd say it's good for little kids in it's simplicity, but I don't know if I'd want to subject a kid to it...umm...1/10 because that's the lowest it will go.
bullions27 I know it's a Power-Rangers gimmick and catered to 7 year olds but really why were they taking themselves seriously with this movie? If they are going to write a plot with crayons, at least have the decency to make it silly. It's kind of hilarious if you watch this. We have a typical family filled with cliched characters (father a war veteran who lost his wife and blames himself LOLOL), air-head children trying to hard to fill the stereotype but fails with horrendous acting, and a laughably horrid sidekick who serves no purpose to the movie but to fill camera space. Funny stuff!However, the real great moment comes near the end when war-dad and bad-acting-villain try to work a sword fight, but then they realize none of them know how to (probably because no room in budget for choreographers), so they come up with this American Gladiator type setting to run around in. LOL.1/10 rating because they try to treat this seriously.
