Critics Have Seen Netflix’s 'Atlas,' And They’re All Saying The Same Thing About Jlo’s Sci-fi Action Movie

2024-06-13 6

Jennifer Lopez has been all over streaming over the past couple of years, starring in both "Marry Me" and "The Mother" in 2023, before her musical "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story" that accompanied the February release of her ninth studio album. Now she’s headed back to Netflix for the sci-fi action thriller "Atlas." The newest flick, in which she must trust artificial intelligence in order to save the world from a rogue A.I. terrorist, is streaming on Netflix subscription. Critics were able to get a look before its release, and they all seem to agree the new movie lacks depth.

Starring alongside JLo is Simu Liu — who absolutely shut down a journalist who tried to ask the "Hustlers" actress a question about the state of her marriage to Ben Affleck during press for the movie — with the Marvel hero switching over to the villainous side. So let’s see what the critics are saying about Atlas, starting with GamesRadar. Matt Looker gives the film just 2 stars out of 5, saying that similar to other movies dealing with the dangers of A.I., it isn’t all that clever beneath the surface.
