While its premise and some of its effects may be B-movie grade, "Atomica" - like the best B movies - delivers an unexpectedly rewarding kick.

Cheap-TV genre fare that might have passed muster as an average episode of "The Outer Limits," but over feature length simply feels slipshod and dull.

The original title for the second theatrical release from cable channel Syfy was Deep Burial, and that would have been an appropriate fate for this low-budget, sci-fi thriller.

Atomica is the same old Syfy schlock without any of the fun...

A well-intentioned and well-executed effort that may be too slight to really stand the test of time.

Rated: 2.5/5

Utterly atrocious. Low-budget, amateur acting and a dull and boring plot. Perhaps the worst movie I’ve seen in decades.

Suspenseful, mysterious, and good acting. Also strong, scary, and realistic underlying message.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Gave up after suffering through an hour of nothing happening - literally. Nothing. Zero. Happening. What is Tom Sizemore doing in this dreck?

A surprisingly decent Scfy Tv movie that does well with its low budget and brings a satisfying conclusion to its underrated story.

Not much happened in this movie, it was pretty boring. The plot was pretty predictable, it was basically a movie about wasting your time while wasting your time, so an extra half star for being an interactive film.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

I enjoy low budget sci-fi films like this especially in the vein of the film moon. However this film has some strong points but overall feels lacking. The twists at the end I saw coming almost right when the movie started. They should hardly even be called twists. The acting overall is pretty bad with very little backstory given. With more talented people in front and behind the camera I think this could’ve been a better film it as it is it’s your typical Syfy channel TV movie.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
