Atomica (2017)
5/10
Acceptable bangs for bucks.

This film was obviously made to a tight budget, BUT the money was used pretty wisely. I give points purely for that factor as a canny director and producer will know where to pour on the dollars, and where to save a few cents.

The plot was a bit vague and it frustrates me that story lines aren't thought through properly. I thought the tension was good throughout and had me guessing wrong a few times. Was a bit slow in places.

The writer should have toned down the importance of the plant to make the actions of the characters more believable (a facility that feeds the entire worlds power grid is manned by 2 people?). I would have found it to be more believable that 2 men might run a nuclear waste disposal facility. No one would want to be anywhere near that. And the antiquated equipment would have looked more at home in my scenario.

All up I enjoyed the film, and I recommend it as a dull, rainy day time waster.
