Fresh and Exciting

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The whole movie is a nuclear bomb itself. It's three hours long! And it felt like three whole long days. This movie has a good concept, but a horrible delivery. There are way too many plot holes in the movie. It is so boring. The characters are all flat and one dimensional. While the lead actors are attractive, none of them are very talented. Kristin Davis, who is usually pretty good, is terrible here. It's not really her fault though, because her role was so unglamorous. Most of the other actors are also awful. Only Rob Lowe's performance comes close to being adequate.One more thing, would you put a nuclear bomb on a train?!

I have to agree with "lame, lame lame..., etal. 1. A major air leak would put the train into emergency and slow it to a stop. 2. Why would an NTSB investigator even board the train? Its not exactly like he possesses any special skills to mitigate the problem. Why not an accountant or journalist...it would make as much sense. 3. It was amazing how the railroad crew materialized immediately on site (in the middle of the Rockie Mountains) when the decision to install a derailer was made. 4. Finally, where is there 300+ miles of steep, continuous downgrade leading into Denver, Colorado...they would of had to be coming from the moon.

First I have to say: I am one of those people who likes movies that most other people don't. I can usually find something about any movie that I at least sort of like.This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Stupid, dim-witted, idiotic, I can not believe someone actually made this, let alone released it to the public. Thats my summary.A thousand words is not near enough to rip it apart. I can't believe the number of veteran actors who got caught up in this mess...did they not read their scripts first or what? To the person from the UK who loved it: Get a hold of your government, tell them you are movie deprived, demand quality! You don't have to put up with this level of entertainment in this day and age man.All copies of this movie should be sealed in a time capsule and launched into outer space.

From the creative masterminds who probably brought you "Walker Texas Ranger" comes the action packed suspense movie extravaganza of last century!!Starring Rob Lowe, Mena Suvari, and a dozen other people I don't know, it's..... Atomic Train!! Watch as NTSB investigator John Seger tries to stop a freight train carrying a nuclear weapon race out of control through the scenic Rocky Mountains to the city of Denver!!See corny effects like CGI images of trains rushing past trees and mountains. Watch in amazement as actors come within mere inches of hitting each other in the face, and yet their victims' heads still fly backwards.Marvel at geniuses who park their helicoptors on the train tracks even when they know that there's a runaway train on the loose. Wonder in awe why professional school bus drivers with two dozen kids in tow would cross a railroad crossing without even looking, only to have the engine stall when they reach the middle of the intersection... what are the odds!!!!Be entertained by the intelligent conversations such as the one featured here...John's Daughter: Where's my Dad? John's Wife: I don't know. Last I heard, he was on the train when it derailed. John's Daughter: So... where is he?Brilliant!! And the catchy one-liners are even better. The comedy never stops!! But you'll have to see for yourself. This movie is a riveting two and a half hours long, but don't ask me how it ends... I shut it off with an hour left!!!!That's "Atomic Train," possibly airing on great networks like USA... check local listings for the next showing. If you miss it, you might cry!!
