When a young adventurer named Milo Thatch uncovers an old journal containing clues to the whereabouts of the sunken city of Atlantis, he wastes no time in putting together an expedition and setting off in search of the maritime metropolis. Heading deeper and deeper in their submarine, Milo and his crew brave many dangerous experiences, including a confrontation with a giant lobster, and are overjoyed when they finally find the underwater kingdom. However, after they reach their goal, it's not long before they discover a plot to seize all the power and riches it has to offer, and soon find themselves becoming the unlikely defenders of the lost civilisation.

Pretty average. The animation didn't impress, the story was average, the way some of the villains making good at the end was unconvincing and there was far too little humor. IN A NUTSHELL: This is a bit of a blast from the past, and now it’s gone a bit stale.

An imaginatively rich fantasy. Some of the scenes are so breathtaking that seeing them on a wide screen in a cinema must be a blast. The story is weaker, the Pearl Harbor-style aerial combat mixed with Star Wars doesn't work very well. But if you like animated films, you’ll enjoy this because the creators didn’t spare the fantasy. Overall, a strong three stars.

A not very surprising film that combines entertainment for adults and children in the same way as classical animation and computer animation: not very well.

It's not an animated film that is particularly exceptional in its story or execution, but it's something that can entertain both children and adults. There's Atlantis, which is the basis, some mystery, villains and heroes you can easily distinguish, and above all, something beautiful, mysterious, something connected to the alternative history of Earth. Too bad it's so transparent. But some scenes are visually beautiful.
