“Atomica” (*1/2 out of four) was a drab futuristic melodrama without much action or thrills about a young safety inspector (Sarah Habel) who has to fly to a remote nuclear power plant in an isolated desert when communications go offline; once there, she begins to suspect that two of the employees (Tom Sizemore and Dominic Monaghan) aren’t exactly who they say and there may be larger issues at play. Yet another futuristic action picture in which the future simply isn’t what it used to be. Monaghan is one-note and annoying; Sizemore is hardly in it and looks hungover or exhausted or both.
