Reception
In a negative review, Monica Sullivan wrote: "The presence of Amanda Donohoe in any picture, however tiny the budget, immediately makes the movie seem several times more expensive than it actually is."[3] Regarding the presence of the actress in the film, "Mr Skin" wrote: " By the dawning of the new millennium, the thirty-eight-year-old sizzler was letting those scalding cupfuls overflow in The Atlantis Conspiracy [...]. No covert operation with Amanda, what you see is what you get—and you get a lot!"[4] Filmdienst, however, described the film as follows: "A gripping eco-drama about the struggle for ideals and power, showing how visionary goals fall victim to unscrupulous profiteering. A committed independent production with convincing actors."[5]
