A Brilliant Conflict

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Blistering performances.

The movie is about a technical engineer, who is sent to a nuclear power plant to repair a communication failure and the unexpected scenarios that follow.This movie has a very good storyline that could have been much more but the low budget made it not reach its potential. It makes me sad that stories with potential like this gets destroyed due to bad actors and low budget.It is a one time watch movie.

When I saw Atomica was on SyFy I didn't expect much honestly because let's be honest it's not the best criteria to have a good movie. But after watching it I have to admit that for a low budget movie it wasn't that bad. Don't expect a lot of special effects and so because there are barely none. And that's what you normally get with Sci-Fi movies. The story is okay without being great. The acting was okay as well. There are only three actors in it but the story is mainly between two actors. So all those ingredients makes you wonder how this movie could be good. To me it was the intrigue and a bit of suspense. You feel and know there is something odd going on. It's just waiting for it to happen. And even though I figured it all out before it happened I wasn't bored watching it. But it's not the greatest movie ever, that's for sure.It's just fine to watch once and then forget about it.

Worth a one time watch.(Spoiler) The idea of "Clean Energy" while getting rid of Radiation Contamination, as explained in the intro Commercial, is not new.In reality, the idea of the Thorium Nuclear Reactor; and or Generation III Nuclear Power with Radioactive Waste Recycling.(Spoiler) The idea of a Human Designed "Fan" NEVER Failing, No "Chief Engineer" (Abby) would ever believe that.(Spoiler) Guess Abby never heard about "Duck and Cover" at the end. Which brings up the question; how did this even "Leak Out" since all those that would have Leaked the Information Out died, and the information was put into a box at the end.

The people that agree with vicstevinson saying the film was sexist was low, the main problem with anything being made is lack of creativity and spending the time in coming up with something original as well as making it look better than this - in the opening part of the film, you can see a gap on the helmet of Abby (Sarah Habel), give me a break, that is just lazy, she is wearing this helmet for what reason, should be for oxygen - I thought, what other reason would there be ? I remember in working on Mr. Belvedere, on how lazy the writer's were, they would just copy other people's ideas for the show, that is what Hollywood always does, besides not being more detailed in having the surroundings looking convincing, these films are made by lazy people who unfortunately make way too much money for what they do, more like lack of what they should do, be very detailed and care more about making quality film's and television programs, earn your money, instead of cheating and being lazy, sorry but watching these film's is just frustrating, just like Ghost in the Shell, another great example of lazy - way over paid people. They seem to sit around a table and talk about how much money they can get for empty stuff, one dimensional garbage. The independent film's at least try and are not Hollywood crap driven, for the most part I believe.
