- 70The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe New York TimesAndy WebsterWhile its premise and some of its effects may be B-movie grade, Atomica — like the best B movies — delivers an unexpectedly rewarding kick.
- 30Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleDagen Merrill’s thriller, made under the Syfy channel’s banner, is strictly 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.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile there’s nothing particularly wrong about minimalistic science fiction — some of the genre’s best offerings have been of that variety — Atomica is a lifeless, tedious affair that won’t play any better on the small screens for which it was obviously intended.
- 10Village VoiceChris PackhamVillage VoiceChris PackhamAtomica's slapdash script is a hasty aggregation of screenwriting and science fiction clichés, barely feature-length and possibly written over a single weekend.
