My review of Atlantis the lost empire

 My review of Atlantis the lost empire 

Intro: A Disney movie with no song and dance. Plus, it's not based on any pre-existing book. Well, that's one way of reinventing yourself. 

Atlantis the lost empire: This movie is centered on a man name Milo Thatch who's a down-on-his-luck linguist. The reason why is he trying to prove that Atlantis is real, but everyone thinks he's crazy. He gets his chance when an associate of his grandfather proved him with the means to find it. This discovery is short-lived when outside forces want to exploit Atlantis at the expanse of its inhabitants. So, Milo has to protect Atlantis before it's gone forever. 

This movie isn't bad however it's not good enough to be considered underrated. I feel bad that it got bad reviews because people give it crap for breaking away from the Disney formula instead of appreciating what it's trying to do. I'm glad that the movie spends most of its time trying to get to Atlantis because doing that helps build suspense of how will they get to Atlantis? The movie balances the seriousness of the movie with the humor. That's another thing I don't get why people think this movie is too mature for kids, besides that high body count there's nothing in this movie that's inappropriate for kids for the most part. This movie deals with how good intentions can lead to bad things.  There is also has foreshadowing in this movie which will or will not surprise you. The animation in this movie is fine it did a good job at blending 2D animation with CGI. 

Milo Thatch is a brilliant but obnoxious man who has been dreaming about finding Atlantis for years due to his grandfather. I like that despite that he's a pushover he's willing to stand his ground. What bugs me about him is how everyone treats him. Yes! He can be annoying, but you don't alienate the navigator. Also, how he honors his grandfather is creepy.   

Kida is... is... Whoa! (My editor dumps ice on me.) 

Me: Hey! 

My editor: You were getting too excited stay focus! 

Anyway, Kida is a warrior princess of Atlantis. She's also playful and caring of her people. 

Comm. Rourke is a clam and collective. What bugs me about him is that the movie tried to paint him as the villain and he's not. Yes! What he's doing is wrong however he's not malicious about it. 

I don't have much to say about the rest of the characters because they feel like one-dimensional characters for the most part. 

One of the problems with this movie is that it has head-scratching moments. The movie could have been better if it was longer because there are parts of the film that feels rushed. All in all, this movie was overlooked and it should get a second chance. I would recommend this if you like Indiana Jones movies.
