- tellumMay 29, 2025Jennifer Lopez’s acting here is about as good as her live singing.
- Tristan McMillanMarch 13, 2025easy watch and fun
- Mister ArnMay 22, 2025"Atlas" features Jennifer Lopez as a hero battling to save the world. Her success hinges on whether she can trust an AI. The movie is enjoyable if you focus on the action and don't scrutinize the plot too closely.
- jackmeatFebruary 15, 2025My quick rating - 5.8/10. This flick dives headfirst into the ever-relevant theme of artificial intelligence and humanity's uneasy relationship with it. Jennifer Lopez stars as Atlas, a brilliant yet skeptical data analyst who finds herself on a high-stakes mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. Simu Liu plays Harlan, her nemesis in this technologically charged adventure. From the get-go, it’s clear that Atlas had a sizable budget, and the special effects are impressive. The film delivers a visual spectacle with its sleek design and well-executed action sequences. Whether it’s the futuristic landscapes or the explosive battle scenes, the film makes sure to give you your money’s worth in terms of eye candy. One of the film’s strengths is the dynamic between Lopez's character and the A.I. known as Smith, played by Gregory James Cohan. The unlikely buddy story between them adds an unexpected layer of warmth and humor to the otherwise intense narrative. This relationship gives the film a human touch, even as it delves into the complexities of artificial intelligence. Even with all the technological beauty, the movie isn't without its flaws. The numerous mission briefings printed and handed out 30 minutes before deployment are almost laughable, adding an unintended layer of absurdity to the plot. This is indicative of the script's occasional lack of coherence, as it sometimes struggles to balance the story's many moving parts. While it is packed with well-done action and strong performances, particularly from Lopez and Cohan, it doesn’t quite elevate itself beyond the typical sci-fi fare. The film offers some entertainment value but ultimately falls short of being a standout in the genre.
- 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 8, 2025Watchable but still a bit naff. J-lo isn't too bad but she is overshadowed by a SMITH...a CGI robot and almost anyone else. Effects are great and pretty well done but the story is just sooooooo bad. It is utter garbage. We're led to believe a rogue AI terrorist caused a worldwide human-bot war that necessitated the formulation of an international council of nations to combat the huge threat but later find out that the worldwide death toll is just 3m. That's 0.03% of today's population and he's done the world a favour by creating world peace and a stable council...populated, led and headed only by by Americans of course. Anyway, the bad robot escaped to another world saying "I'll be back" and 28 years later his whereabouts are micaculously discovered by J-lo as everyone else in the world is stupid and incompetent. So off we go to get him. The world we find, is protected by a huge, impenetrable forcefield, FTL travel seems commonplace, no-one seems at all surprised to find another inhabitable, if somewhat inhospitable world so presumably there are loads around and spaceships are plentiful so the ICN, who have a butt load of huge space warships and giant space mechs send a single ship with a few space mech-marines to this hitherto unknown but somehow atmospherically mapped planet which holds the only threat the world appears to have to combat AI robot terrorist and his army of repeat villains. Of course all the trained mech marines die instantly but J-lo survives somehow and after a lot of shallow soul searching mind bonds with her mech to become a uber mech but hang on, all the others were already mind bonded super experienced uber mechs with highly developed tactical skills and died straight away but we ignore that bit. Anyway, being the only clever person on Earth J-lo overcomes all the obstacles to find the bad bots city and armed with self righteousness and thick, thick plot armour kills the army of bad AI bots that turn oit to be a bit shite, pretty stupid and tactically inept until there is only the top terror bot left to have a one on one punch up with. Of course J-lo wins by doing stuff the big bad end bot wouldn't expect, which turns out to be pulling him towards her...as if that was some kind of ever so clever plan and then pulling his arm off or something, I don't know as I was scrolling through facebook by then but yay J-lo...you killed the bad guy and just in time as seconds later a butt load more mech bots reinforcements arrive from Earth leading to the obvious question why they weren't just sent to start with, or some kind of reconnaissance done like anyone with half a brain would do but I guess that's because everyone but J-lo is stupid.
