3/4
"...there is certainly nothing wrong with the film’s style, but I long for the next Disney classic."
NutzWorld
Blake French
3.5/4
"'Atlantis' is both nostalgic and fresh, a film that occupies a style both memorable and familiar and utilizes effective storytelling rarely seen in cartoons."
Cinemaphile.org
David Keyes
2.5/4
"A worthwhile venture that may not go down as a modern animated classic, but it does expose Disney as a studio more than willing to break free of tradition and try something a little different, for once. It's about time."

"As a film that promises to deliver adventure and thrills, Atlantis becomes a bigger disappointment with each passing scene."

"Atlantis proves that if you want to tell a story, you need a story."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
B-
"Worth seeing for the splendid animation and some vivid characterizations, whatever its narrative weaknesses."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/4
"Offers 90 minutes of solid entertainment."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2.5/4
"the movie, despite being visually innovative, is somewhat clumsy in its melding of old-fashioned storybook adventurism with a modern sensibility"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
8/10
"It carries with it the spirit of those old science fiction stories."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
"The mystery and allure of the lost land and its people is missing in this surprisingly flat, trite and less than compelling picture."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
5/10
"Once all is said and done, the only thing that I was left with was a nasty case of the ho-hums."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
5/10
"In spite of our modern electronic wizardry and our technological advancements in animation, movies still need a good story to tell; otherwise, it’s all just flashing lights."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
2/4
"After seeing spectacular epics like Tarzan, it is difficult to properly appreciate the mediocre, but entertaining Atlantis."
Bangitout.com
Jordan Hiller
3/4
"Disney sigue siendo lo que siempre ha sido desde su creación: una fábrica de sueños, de los cuales Atlantis es el más reciente"
Moviola

"Just the kind of movie Disney set out to make in the old days, sans songs - imagination-firing fantasy coupled with humorous characters, lush visuals and a tight screenplay."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery

"animation fans should delight in this gorgeous, eye-popping widescreen adventure tale"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
7/10
"Una cinta para niños no apta para ellos."
Cinenganos
Luis Martinez
"A rehash fantasy adventure story that only inexperienced moviegoers like children could find even remotely fresh."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
2/4
"A deathly dull adventure."
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
3/5
"The movie does a good job of showing an inter-racial cast working well together, and there are both male and female good guys and bad guys."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
3/4
"This is good-looking artwork and the story is strong."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B+
"...a fresh, rip-roaring action/adventure that will please older kids through to the adults."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
C+
"Disney has cooked itself up a gosh-darned adventure epic. The problem is that its production committee has whittled and pared away the story to a mere 88 minutes, sweeping away the detail that gives an epic its heft."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
D+
"Feels like an uninspired rehash of Rider Haggard, Jules Verne,
Raiders of the Lost Ark
, and a dozen "Star Trek" episodes."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
2/4
"Atlantis, although some very smart people were involved in its making, is not the least bit interested in being very smart."
