Atlas Review

Atlas reviewed by Matt Donato. Now streaming on Netflix.
Atlas earns more than a shrug, even if it won’t settle relevant and alarming debates about artificial intelligence’s place in contemporary society. Brad Peyton oversees a futuristic action thriller that frequently plays like a clone of other cautionary tales about AI - but those movies, shows, games, and books don’t have Peyton’s secret weapon: Jennifer Lopez. She’s able to command the screen, bicker with software programs, and sell a convincing heroine’s arc from behind a mech-suit’s windshield. Atlas is far from the “Justice for AI!” disaster its premise implies, and while it’s not the next groundbreaking sci-fi epic, it earns points for building an entertaining, adequately executed movie around a hot-button topic.

[@thecaaat7753]

Tbh actually enjoyed it

[@scottwpilgrim]

Yeah it's a solid 4 which isn't bad if you consider movies like M. Night Shamalamadingdong's Avatar the Last Airbender exists.

[@rafys78]

Agreed.

[@phoenixfaze1]

[@alxiong]

It’s a solid 4, let’s be honest.

[@shockerthedan670]

[@ethical13]

From the trailer, it seems that JL forgot how to act, assuming she ever knew how to act to begin with.

[@SourRobo8364]

[@protogenxl]

Well the reviewer never played it......

[@Sea-raider]

Atlas is an ambitious game that blends open-world exploration with pirate adventure elements. While it offers vast seas to explore and intricate ship-building mechanics, its complexity and early technical issues might not appeal to everyone. If you're into survival games with a focus on naval combat and exploration, Atlas could be worth a try. 🚢🏝✨

[@lennymarinez]

How the hell is Netflix stock so high with continuous garbage like this?

this movie was entertaining and it shows how AI would help in our daily tasks in the near future.

it's basically Titan Fall with AI enemies. if you ever played Titan Fall you'd appreciate the Smith mech in this movie. not bad tbh

You might need to update your news! The real voice artist and her agent had spoken! OpenAI didn’t use Scarlet Johansson voice! This is the typical example of human hallucinations!

[@elevatedmind]

Her acting is amazing.....You all remember Gigli.

[@weepingcamel1]

this movie is so monumentally, jaw-droppingly dumb... 10min into the movie, you are shown a weapon that can zap an android unconscious, which would have solved the central problem of the movie, then is never seen again. Human armada can travel to andromeda galaxy in a day, presumably with arc drive or warp drive, but the ships have no missile warning or defense systems... senescent AI had decades to prepare, and managed to mass produce ... 50 androids in total...

This is sort of the perfect review for this movie. The grappling with the “big message” is awkward and sort of charming. The review of the underlying B movie is pretty solid. It’s like an echo of the film. Thumbs up.

[@blue525252]

This wasn't as bad as most of the comments lead you to assume it will be. This was interesting with J Lo's understandable AI contempt.
