Atomica (2017)
8/10
Character vs. Effects
24 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Few sci-fi character actors outshine the effects and set, this effort stands head and shoulders above CGI due to the tight story line and Excellent acting from D. Monaghan and Sarah Habel. Tom Sizemore has pivotal role in the finale and good to see him living up to his potential. Wayyy better than the big budget busts starring big buck stars. The reason for eight versus 10 stars is the slow script which takes off after a very long buildup, the incredulous position of the protagonist, Abby/Sarah Habel, and the SPOILER ALERT potential to have more fully developed the background of the notorious company profit posturing vs. human sacrifice.

The industry has lagged since the inception of The Trilogy for lack of strong character roles and believable story lines, Atomica will live for a very long time as a prime example of an excellent story, film and acting on a very small budget! What The Shining did for horror, ATomica will be known for revitalizing good small budget sci-fi films.
