Review of Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) by Squire S — 20 Nov 2014

THIS MOVIE WAS JUST AMAZING TO ME! I don't know why but this movie seems to get attention a lot especially with the giant rusty bar less A that shows up on posters and some previews where it gets struck by lightning in the middle of the ocean during raging weather, and when it's on a rusty gate with writings on the wall, and water ripple lighting.

The idea of the sea storms are really cool especially on the poster,viking prologue, and the beginning of the movie.The lightning mechanics were well done in the movie.

The character development for Milo Thatch was GENIUS. Michael J. Fox did outstanding with his voice. It suited his personality traits so well.I can never get enough of him.

Milo and Kida are my favorite Disney couples PERIOD.

Blue is my favorite color and this happens to have alot of blue on it.

The fact that this movie was the very first Disney animated sci-fi movie to come out on June 15th a very interesting day to release a movie, made me wanna try and see it. And yet i'm really happy I did.

Atlantis may not be may favorite Disney score but James Newton Howard made the music fit so well with the movie itself. Turning it normal life/epic Treasure Planet like music into Deuter like soundscapes music.I love Disney movies without songs.

It's really interesting how they relate other B.C cultures and history to Atlantis and also when they used Plato's quote. I like it's action violence and also it's references like 2012, Day After Tomorrow, Avatar, Battleship, and Tron. 2012 and Day After Tomorrow because the natural disasters in the beginning.

Avatar because of it's plot, Battleship because of the sci-fi technology and the leviathan scene, and Tron because of it's crystalized circuits on the statues and artistic cracks especially the stone effigies chanting around the Heart of Atlantis.

Atlantis was a great Disney movie and it really deserves a lot of recognition, love, and gratitude. All thanks to the stupid box-office intake, Atlantis remains a *LOST*, underrated Disney movie along with the other Disney flops.

However in my mind box office, Atlantis is one of my top list of my favorite movies that meet standard in my mind box office. It sucks acknowledging that some critics disliked this film. Those who liked it, we have something in common. Those who do hated it need to see a doctor or be imprisoned into a insane asylum. But I'm really happy that this movie was even created and I'm happy that I, my friends on deviantART, some of my subscriptions on YouTube, and other random fans can see the good in it to this very day on 2014. And I'm looking forward to the 3-D version in 2016. Don Hahn, Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, and James Newton Howard, you have made this awesome animated sci-fi movie possible for the first time. Even if the world was disappointed with this film including the box-office, technicality you guys have done a bang-up job and I'am very very proud that this film was even made. Long Live ? T L ? N T I S.
