Ironically--for a movie with such a "deep"(sea) theme--this one comes
across as rather shallow. For a moment I thought it was going to build
an allegorical story, relating the "dying" culture of the Atlanteans to
our modern America, but no, it just plowed ahead with its
straight-ahead, banal story. The characters, including the now-requisite
"zany" sidekick(s), aren't very interesting, the animation impressive
in a now-standard way (including one sequence that is painfully
derivative from
Aladdin), and all the crystal power stuff comes across as so much New Age hooey. Bleh.
