    Possibly one of the stupiedst things Ive seen

    The movie is nothing but gross conjecture for the entire length of the film. Will have to have eye surgery due to excessive amount of times I had to roll my eyes. Waste of time

    Fantastic

    Georgeos Diaz Montexano is the absolute genious behind all this. He spent 25 years studying the tale of atlantis and found out atlantis is not just a made up story created by Plato. People fail to understand why this doccumentary is diferent to others made about atlantis before. The exact location of atlantis was given to us by Plato. But it wasn't until georgeos read carefully into it that all this information could be known. This documentary is just a tease of what's coming in the next part... and wether people fail to see how important all this is, it will make history because this people have found atlantis for good. And all it takes is the world to study the works of georgeos to understand how all this is plausible. And I hope it happens sooner or later. Depends on how prejudiced the people are

    no results that advance the reason for the title

    Besides being an excellent inspiration for a fiction guided tour, part of a highly informative fantasy film, there is nothing but speculative conjecture about Atlantis' location. I recognize that the coordination of the route must have been colossal, the same I fully acknowledge and respect the effort and importance of the work of archaeologists. But the way is presented here, everything looks like Atlantean architecture whatever that is, and without a final location is extremely accommodative. There are those who think that Atlantis sunk because of its decadent society. From Plato's Critias, the island was rich in resources, glowing red metal more precious than gold, the ground providing many plants and animals, including elephants. Research identifies the footprints of the megafauna of the south of the Iberian Peninsula 125,000 years ago, with four-meter-high pachyderms and wild boars weighing more than three hundred kilos. I do not recall them mentioning related findings. On a par with the vast majority of documentaries presented lately with an impressive title, multiple findings boxed in the purpose, hundreds of speculations, and no results that advance the reason for the title. At the video teleconferences they are mostly wearing the same clothes, so next time at least make the docuseries seem real.

    I liked it...

    Hollywood legend James Cameron and filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici set out on an adventure to find the lost city of Atlantis using Greek philosopher Plato as a virtual treasure map.

    And it's not that they found Atlantis, the lost city, once the legendary fictional city of Plato, but it actually existed one day, well at least that's what the evidence points to, I'm very happy, because I was rooting for the success of the troupe, and that that madness, violence, wouldn't it be a waste of money and time... That story, right, a dream in the mind, and a backpack on the back and a lot of willpower to carry it out, and here we have the reward... I liked it...

    Just A Rehash...

    Other then bringing on John Cameron for a cameo almost all the information is a repeat or rehash of the most probable theories on the fall of ATLANTIS. The most plausible of them being that the Minoan Island Trading Empire on THERA, now SANTORINI was built upon a dormant Volcano. This erupted with a massive explosion and venting of the caldera which subsequently collapsed. Thus creating a massive Tsunami which inundated the eastern Mediterranean. This occurred sometime during the 16th Centuries B.C.E. The eruption took some time to develop its full fury, so the Island appears to have been evacuated prior to the major eruption. The eruption on the Volcanic Explosivity Index was at the level Six (6), possibly as high as a Seven (7).

    There are several other candidates, starting with MALTA, then keep moving West. Even beyond the PILLARS OF HERCULES (Straits Of Gibraltar). To take that theory seriously you would have to believe that ATLANTIS was best represented by George Pal's ATLANTIS; The Lost Continent (1961). A enjoyable fantasy film, but hardly science. If you have seen the other documentaries on ATLANTIS you might want to skip this one. If not watch it. Those who have, watch the movie instead. Its hokey, but fun.
