Undescribable Perfection

Such a frustrating disappointment
Ensofter
Overrated and overhyped

Are you telling me that amongst all the other awfulness of this there really is a character called Phister? You sure they didn't mean the director or the writers? Well, it fits with the rest of it, I guess. As I need ten lines of text, so it says in the rules,to make a review I'll try and think of some more to say about this farrago. First, in fairness mode we can say that much of the camera-work isn't at all bad if at times repetitive. Shows us some nice travelogue views, too. But just when you think that O.K., here comes the heroic resolution, this is going to be the bit where virtue triumphs and the bad guys(unseen and possibly non-existent - mind you, I couldn't stick it to the end)are heroically thwarted. Pelion upon Ossa to no effect - oi ve.Mike

From the creative masterminds who probably brought you "Walker Texas Ranger" comes the action packed suspense movie extravaganza of last century!!Starring Rob Lowe, Mena Suvari, and a dozen other people I don't know, it's..... Atomic Train!! Watch as NTSB investigator John Seger tries to stop a freight train carrying a nuclear weapon race out of control through the scenic Rocky Mountains to the city of Denver!!See corny effects like CGI images of trains rushing past trees and mountains. Watch in amazement as actors come within mere inches of hitting each other in the face, and yet their victims' heads still fly backwards.Marvel at geniuses who park their helicoptors on the train tracks even when they know that there's a runaway train on the loose. Wonder in awe why professional school bus drivers with two dozen kids in tow would cross a railroad crossing without even looking, only to have the engine stall when they reach the middle of the intersection... what are the odds!!!!Be entertained by the intelligent conversations such as the one featured here...John's Daughter: Where's my Dad? John's Wife: I don't know. Last I heard, he was on the train when it derailed. John's Daughter: So... where is he?Brilliant!! And the catchy one-liners are even better. The comedy never stops!! But you'll have to see for yourself. This movie is a riveting two and a half hours long, but don't ask me how it ends... I shut it off with an hour left!!!!That's "Atomic Train," possibly airing on great networks like USA... check local listings for the next showing. If you miss it, you might cry!!

This is a movie of a "net", it has nothing but holes. However...the movie is so ridiculously lousy that it made me laugh and i can't help to start liking it , Maybe they made the movie this way on purpose because it's impossible to get this many morons working together and make a movie this bad.Think about A.T. as a "Mystery Science Theater 3000" movie then you can really enjoy non-stop laughing and cussing for 2 good hours. Every character in A.T. dies with a great-hilarious reason. i love every part when people get killed in this movie. the fat guy fell off and got smashed by the train, a kid climbed back up the train from the last car but tripped and got killed walking toward the back? and it's super funny when the "water is better than nothing" helicopter hillbillies screw up and, BOOM!. They should really make more people die in this movie. maybe Kristin Davis and Mena Suvari can show their boobs in the movie, they should get killed while having sex or swimming naked. and also, where is the dog in this movie? there should always be a dog in a movie like this, It can be a goofy K9 dog helping a bimbo soldier disarming the nuke weapon and both got toasted.by the way, this movie is totally not shot in Colorado, (very likely in BC, Canada). But of course they don't care if you know or notice it. This movie can be fantastic when you are high, it's so much more entertaining than "jeepers creepers". If you like this movie because it's just ridiculously dumb and funny, you might love "the Room", that is a cult classic of this kind!

I'm late to this party; it just came on TV (actually, is on as I write) and I, unfortunately, tuned it in thinking it the least of many evils. Should have watched the Mayberry RFD marathon of episodes I've already seen 10 E3 times, including the original airings. At least they bring back memories of a simpler time, when we literally left our doors unlocked and didn't bat an eye at hitchhiking to Florida, not worried about being raped, sodomized, dismembered, and dropped in a 55 gallon drum off a bridge.This movie is execrable. Others have already pointed out the many, many, MANY, errors of fact. I will simply note that the basic premise of the movie itself, the runaway train due to lost air pressure, should have clued the producers before they read past the first five pages of this abomination of a script. It has been 135 years since Westinghouse patented his first air brake. This is NOT state of the art technology, and how any moron, even the cretins who produce made-for-TV movies, could base an entire movie's plot on this idea simply escapes me.Loved the cast, hated the maudlin shyte they had to spout to play their roles in this misbegotten, miserable mess. What a joke! Fortunately, after the first 15 minutes I realized that it was irredeemable and spent the remainder of the air time doing some much-needed cleaning out and organization of my email folders. It was (is) on mainly for background noise, although I must admit that I did give it my attention during the more spectacular moments, the only thing offered by this garbage, and those regrettably separated by the batcrap that passed for dialogue and character development and interaction. Oh, well, at least it was abridged for this showing. GOK what it must have been like to watch the whole bloody thing when it was released.
