A team of scientists working to raise a sunken Russian nuclear submarine on an ocean platform off the coast of Miami, Florida, unearth an ancient Atlantean relic from the sea floor and bring in an expert to make some sense of it. But while attempting to raise the sub, radioactive leakage from its missles triggers the re-emergence of Atlantis, and the resulting tidal wave destroys the platform and leaves only a small group of survivors. Rescued by two Vietnamvets-turned-heavies who are out relaxing after their latest job, their boat eventually runs aground on a Carribean island nearby where, upon going ashore, it is discovered that everything has been destroyed and everybody killed. The culprits, a vicious group of well-armed raiders, and their leader, Crystal Skull, are descendants of Atlantis' original race who set about reclaiming the world and adding the survivors to the list of victims as they struggle to stay alive and defeat the raiders and send Atlantis back to the ocean floor.

Extremely low-rent sci-fi film about a group of astronauts who volunteer to start a colony on a newly discovered planet. After 15 years in cryosleep, they awaken to learn that their ship has crash-landed and they're all stuck in their cryotubes. Also, there's a hairy alien on board (which is clearly a guy in a gorilla suit) devouring them. Features sub-amateur acting, CGI that would seem cheap in a PS1 cutscene, and blood/gore effects than didn't even merit an R rating. Spoiler Alert: they kill the beast, escape, and learn that they've been placed in a glass dome for observation by the planet's native species (their costumes aren't much better). Hence the title, Terrarium. Except that when Lionsgate picked this up for release (yes, really), they changed the title to War of the Planets. Additional spoiler: there's no war whatsoever.

This movie doesn't just suck...it FAILS. It had an intriguing premise for a Christmas movie: What if someone actually succeeded in ruining Christmas? It has talented voice actors including Jay Leno, Andy Griffith, Shirley Jones and Ed Asner. It has Roy Disney as a producer. And with all that potential, it gives us a bland slog with one-dimensional characters, dull, forgettable tunes and plot points as predictable as the tide.

Highlights (or lowlights) include:

-The main character, Sophiana. If her name didn't clue you in that she's supposed to be a too-pure-for-this-sinful-earth Mary Sue, get a load of this: she lives at an orphanage where he is hated and bullied by the cruel matron and the other orphans even though she cooks gourmet meals for them and wants everyone to be happy, she has a heart-shaped locket with a picture of her parents, and she needs a cane to walk. Have the feels, **** you! And please pay no attention to the fact that Sophiana is never shown struggling to walk or do anything without her cane.

-The songs. They're bland, repetitive and sound like they were written in half a day. Even Shirley Jones can't do anything with them. So what happens when they give musical numbers to Ed Asner and Norm MacDonald?

-Christmas is ruined because the villain, Krad, stole Santa Claus' magical sack so he can't deliver toys. How he did this is never explained, but what's really crazy is the explanation for why they can't just use another sack: Santa's magical toy sack is--I kid you not--made from Baby Jesus' swaddling clothes. Even Kirk Cameron didn't go that far.
