Review of Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) by Gijoe54 — 13 Jan 2023
Atlantis: The Lost Empire can best be summed up as Stargate lite. A perfect action adventure film just mature enough to draw in adults, but still childish enough for young kids to sit through. The characters are easy enough to follow without being overly complicated for developing minds and the wide range of backgrounds they come from really helps you latch on.
Story is a strong point with great setup and payoff. It only stumbles towards the end, mostly involving inconsistencies or plot holes around the giant crystal, most of which can be overlooked. I especially enjoy the tie-ins to real life history myself.
The animation with blends of 3D models at certain points looks great. The colorful, yet muted color palette also brings a more gritty look to the classic Disney art style while still maintaining visual flare.
The soundtrack is both appropriate and even has distinct tracks I couldn’t help but remember as being tied to this film. At 96 minutes, the film never drags nor moves too fast, using every minute wisely for something.
This is a good stepping stone for younger kids to take in more intense movies, and adults will certainly find entertainment value in it as well.
