The Legend of Atlantis

 



Why?

I was having a night in with my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this movie. I have been watching a lot of real movies lately and I needed a palette cleanser. Thankfully, he let me put it on.

What in the world?

The princess of Atlantis has to stop her royal advisor from taking 4 elemental crystals and becoming all powerful.

Personal thoughts

Movies like this are my bread and butter. I had honestly missed the 2000's style animation and humor that comes with these movies. I found myself really enjoying the random twists and turns that happened. Something that sucks about these movies is the songs. So many unnecessary and bad songs. I really loved the gym bro king that was in this movie. He would just blindly agree with either his wife or his royal advisor and almost killed a random emissary for defying him. The queen of Atlantis has this friend named Delfi or something like that. I don't understand this woman at all. So there is the inside of Atlantis and the outside of Atlantis. Delfi can teleport between the two at the top of this stair pyramid (Don't ask because I don't know). SPOILER!! When the princess gets kidnapped, she sends the love interest to go get her through what I am assuming is the sewer system. Why didn't she just teleport him in and save him the trouble of swimming for who knows how long. I mean she could have saved his arms and his spirit by the end of the trip. Off topic, but that dolphin I chose as the picture for this movie made me cry laughing. I love it's evil little eyes and how goofy it looks compared to every other single thing in this movie.

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. I think that it's a pretty middle of the road movie and it could have been worse. I also didn't want most of my rating to come from nostalgia and forget that this thing was 50-ish minutes long with half of it being songs. Some of the jokes were interesting but they weren't notable. Would I watch this movie again...no. Would I recommend it to someone...yes, but only if they are tired. These movies are so much more enjoyable when you are already losing your mind.

Watch what you love,
