just watch it!

Good concept, poorly executed.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie truthfully isn't Disney's best work, there's definitely been better by them, but this film is still fun and entertaining. Everyone has heard of Atlantis, and the myth/legend of the lost empire. This movie is set in 1914, the beginning takes place in Washington DC, where the main character Milo is trying to plead his case to his superiors to let him continue with his Atlantis research, and to let him go on an expedition. They laugh in his face and refuse. He is discouraged and almost ready to give up hope when he is visited by a mysterious woman who offers him a chance to go in search of Atlantis with a crew. This crew is experienced and very diverse. As far as the crew goes, I liked the different characters, some of them are humorous and some are mysterious/sketchy. The film does a great job with Milo and with the villainous characters as well. I also thought the animation was done in a very skilled fashion, and the effects are done well, visually appealing. The story has a likable way about it, the chemistry between the two main characters is nice to watch and the scenes once they get to Atlantis are very captivating and have a "magical" kind of feel to them. I think everyone can find something to enjoy in this film. 8/10.

Atlantis the lost empire is personally one of my favorite Disney movies, because of the way it sets itself apart from the other Disney movies. Most Disney movies are rather light hearted, and don't have too much heavy material. Though Atlantis the lost empire is appropriate for all ages, it still stands out as more 'edgy' than most other Disney productions, containing death scenes, intense battle sequences, and mild violence.The characters are also pretty likable. The movie follows a young man by the name of Milo Thatch, voiced by Michael J. Fox, and his expedition to find the empire of Atlantis. He has a lot of personality, and his character is very well animated. He meets several other characters on his journey, and they devealope as the story goes on.In conclusion, Atlantis, the list empire is a must-see, and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of animation, or adventure.

This film mixes gorgeous animation, an intriguing journey and fascinating characters, resulting in a truly underrated work of art.Set in the early 20th Century, the film stars Michael J. Fox as Milo Thatch, a young linguist who's been delegated to the boiler-room. He's bright-eyed and idealistic, and not given much respect from the academic community. That is, until he's recruited by an eccentric millionaire (played by a delightfully zesty John Mahoney) to join an expedition to find the lost Atlantis. The supporting cast is full of colourful characters: A fast-talking doctor, a sassy teenage mechanic, a bizarre little guy obsessed with dirt, and a demolitions expert who dreams of one day opening his very own florist shop. They're simply fun to be around, and they're given the chance to be themselves without being constricted by the needs of the plot.Marc Okrand (the creator of Star Trek's beloved Klingon language) was actually hired to create the Atlantean language featured in the film. Designed to be somewhat of a "mother" language, it takes influence from Indo-European roots. As such, the film is a treat for anyone who has studied linguistics or ancient history. One of the downsides of the film is that the villain is not very interesting or believable. There is very little motivation that drives the villain to do what they do -- at least not realistically. This is really the only reason I would not give this film a ten, as the villain's scheme hogs a good chunk of the climax, and the characterisation feels rather weak.The best part of this film is how much diversity and creativity goes into creating the world. A lot of effort went in to making the world seem real, and it shows. There are so many layers to the story, and every detail makes the story even more intriguing. The artwork is astonishingly gorgeous, and a stark reminder that 2D animation can sometimes be the most powerful and impacting choice. The detail, oh, wow, the detail that went into this film!Overall, it's an exciting and clever adventure, with memorable and fascinating characters. This is an underrated gem that really deserves more recognition for the fantastic work that went into it.

In 1914 Washington, Milo James Thatch works without notice in the boiler room of a museum. He has a theory that Atlantis had an advanced power source and lies in the ocean off of Iceland. Nobody believes him and they refuse to fund his expedition. He's approached by Helga Sinclair and brought to wealthy Preston Whitmore who was a friend of Milo's grandfather. Whitmore gives him the mysterious Shepherd's Journal from his grandfather and finances an expedition. There's a large ship, an impressive submarine and an expert crew.The animation work is pretty good with good CGI for its era. It's got some action that also works well as CGI. The visual style looks good. The story and the characters are another matter. I'm not thrilled with Milo but the other characters are worst. Milo needs a comedic sidekick. I didn't like or trust the other character. It turns out that it's for a very good reason. There just isn't any thought to make a fun group to root for. As for the story, there isn't much other than the fun fight against a giant lobster. I don't know how the Atlantean suddenly learn to speak English and yet they couldn't figure out how to fly the fishplanes in all those years. The whole thing feels like it needs a few more rewrites.
