: I wouldn't like to see a movie that told a story I've already fully experienced several times for myself. Fate of Atlantis works great as a game, and I'm totally content with leaving it as a game only. Wouldn't you rather see a new adventure with Indy after waiting so many years for the fourth film? It's almost certainly going to be his last shot, film-wise. It would be a waste to retell a story that has already been done perfectly. Also, a lot of the intricate locations and puzzles would be lost in the translation to film - the very things that made Fate of Atlantis so fun and involving!

: As for Atlantis itself, check this page out. There is even a link in the theory section to another site with the full transcripts of Plato's dialogues.

It was pretty interesting, with some really interesting and possible theories... as well as some pretty convincing evidence of a real continent in the middle of the Atlantic, not the destruction of Thera in the Mediterranean Sea.
