8/10
Atlantis. The King of Danish Silent Films!

Warning: Spoilers
I love this movie. I first heard about this movie when I bought the '53' titanic film and was intrigued when I heard about a 1913 Danish silent film. "Atlantis, made in 1913 in Denmark was also one of the first full Leno film ever made." The clips were in excellent shape and was disappointed when I could not find it for sale. But one evening, (I was on the Internet) when my friend was over, I just randomly typed in "Atantis 1913" and I nearly had a heart attack. I had found a copy on Ebay. As you have probably guessed, I quickly snatched up a copy, and when it arrived I quickly ran inside and put the tape in. Just as I had hoped, it was a feast for my eyes and ears. It was taken from an excellent 35mm print. I watched the story unfold. It is about a docter who's wife is institutionalized and he ventures from Europe to America searching for a cure. But during his journey, he meets a beautiful dancer named "Ingigerd" whom he falls in love with and follows her to America. Overall this is a really excellent movie and I highly recommend it.
