Andy Webster New York Times Mar 16, 2017
While its premise and some of its effects may be B-movie grade, "Atomica" - like the best B movies - delivers an unexpectedly rewarding kick. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Mar 16, 2017
Cheap-TV genre fare that might have passed muster as an average episode of "The Outer Limits," but over feature length simply feels slipshod and dull. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Mar 16, 2017
The original title for the second theatrical release from cable channel Syfy was Deep Burial, and that would have been an appropriate fate for this low-budget, sci-fi thriller. Go to Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine Sep 24, 2020

Atomica is the same old Syfy schlock without any of the fun... Go to Full Review Tracy Allen PopHorror.com Aug 9, 2019

Tyler N @RT33166214 Aug 14, 2024 Suspenseful, mysterious, and good acting. Also strong, scary, and realistic underlying message. See more Clay W @ottovonb60 Jul 28, 2024 Gave up after suffering through an hour of nothing happening - literally. Nothing. Zero. Happening. What is Tom Sizemore doing in this dreck? See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic Jul 19, 2023 A surprisingly decent Scfy Tv movie that does well with its low budget and brings a satisfying conclusion to its underrated story. See more Oct 18, 2020 Not much happened in this movie, it was pretty boring. The plot was pretty predictable, it was basically a movie about wasting your time while wasting your time, so an extra half star for being an interactive film. See more Mar 30, 2020 I enjoy low budget sci-fi films like this especially in the vein of the film moon. However this film has some strong points but overall feels lacking. The twists at the end I saw coming almost right when the movie started. They should hardly even be called twists. The acting overall is pretty bad with very little backstory given. With more talented people in front and behind the camera I think this could’ve been a better film it as it is it’s your typical Syfy channel TV movie. See more Apr 13, 2019 Confuse. Ugly acting. Ugh.
