[This story contains spoilers for Atlas]

A movie begins, and Jennifer Lopez opens a suitcase to reveal a robotic head, which she proceeds to interrogate.

How’d that head get in the suitcase? Why is Jennifer Lopez talking to it? The audience doesn’t yet know, but hopefully they are intrigued.

That’s how screenwriter Aron Eli Coleite started one draft of Atlas, the sci-fi movie starring Lopez that hit Netflix May 24. The introduction had shades of the first scene of 1982’s Blade Runner, and was designed to keep an audience engaged in the age of streaming, in which there are near infinite opportunities to click away. “You just don’t want the audience to tune out at any point of like, ‘Oh, I can check out,’ says Coleite. “The danger of Netflix is you have a remote control.”

Ultimately, the team — including director Brad Peyton and producer Joby Harold — felt that while the opening was fun,...

Jennifer Lopez has been all over the media recently due to her alleged marital issues with Ben Affleck and her hit Netflix film Atlas. Lopez plays Atlas Shepherd in the sci-fi action flick centered around capturing a renegade robot in the future. A recent press interview with her co-stars, Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown, appears to show tension between Brown and Lopez. Here’s what Showbiz Cheat Sheet’s body language expert noticed.

Atlas is proving to be a huge hit for Netflix, bringing attention back to Jennifer Lopez’s acting instead of her marriage. Lopez plays Atlas Shepherd in the film alongside Simu Liu, who plays the villainous Harlan Shepherd, and Sterling K. Brown, who plays Colonel Elias Banks. The three actors answered questions in a press interview with Unilad. Some fans...

Netflix’s latest sci-fi venture, Atlas, directed by Brad Peyton and starring Jennifer Lopez, tells the story of a deadly war between humans and AI. The story follows AI terrorist Harlan, played by Simu Liu, who declares war on humanity. Atlas (Jennifer Lopez), who has a deep distrust for AIs, seems to be the only one who can stop this catastrophe. However, despite her problem with AIs, she needs to pair up with ARC9 (voiced by Gregory James Cohan), a high-tech suit, in order to succeed against Harlan.

What Happens in Atlas?

It is revealed in the film that Harlan was created by Atlas’ mother only. Atlas and Harlan had grown up together as siblings. However, Atlas was jealous of Harlan as she felt that her mother gave him more attention and love and was fascinated with him. Feeling neglected and unloved,...

Atlas, Jennifer Lopez’s latest Netflix flick, racked up more than 28 million views over Memorial Day Weekend, while not quite 3 million people bought tickets to see the latest Mad Max movie.

Premiering Friday, May 24, Atlas debuted atop Netflix’s English Films List with 28.2 million views, making it the most-watched title for the week of May 20. All told, the sci-fi thriller reached the Netflix Top 10 in 93 countries.

Directed by Brad Peyton, Atlas stars Jennifer Lopez as a data analyst on a mission to take down an evil artificial intelligence played by Simu Liu. 

But to do so, she is forced to team up with a friendly AI named Smith, voiced by Gregory James Cohan.

After Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled their romance nearly two decades later and tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony, they seemed like one of the strongest couples in Hollywood. However, within a few years, the duo started sparking rumors of falling apart and even divorce speculations.

However, on a recent note, after Jennifer Lopez shut down speculations regarding divorce from Ben Affleck, her Atlas co-star Sterling K. Brown dropped behind-the-scenes truth about the couple’s relationship. Revealing Affleck’s interesting contribution to Lopez’s action thriller and his occasional involvement while filming, Brown debunked rumors of a broken marriage with his comments.

Sterling K. Brown’s Truth About Jennifer Lopez’s Marriage

Ever since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled their romance from the early 2000s and got married in a secret rendezvous in 2022, the duo has been subject to intense scrutiny.

Plot: Atlas Shepherd, a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. When plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it

Review: Jennifer Lopez has been in five films over the last two years, and another, Unstoppable, is still on the way. After her acclaimed 2019 performance in Hustlers, Lopez has starred in two romantic comedies, two action films, and a bizarre music video-slash-biopic monstrosity linked to her latest album. Now, her second Netflix feature in as many years, Atlas, aims to be J.Lo’s Marvel-esque blockbuster but falls short in every conceivable way. Directed by San Andreas helmer Brad Peyton, Atlas is a special effects-laden foray into the most cliched science fiction genre offering I have seen in a long time.

A report by Jennifer Lopez’s costar in her new Netlix film, Atlas, indicates that her husband, Ben Affleck, had a hand in helping her navigate a few scenes.

Lopez’s costar, Sterling K. Brown, talked about the interactions between Affleck and Lopez on set in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

“Every once in a while, Ben would read the lines for Smith,” Brown said. “And I think the newlyweds, still very much in love, I think she just wanted to hear his voice. And so sometimes, the reactions that you got from her were because she was listening to her husband’s voice.”

It was not...

Atlas is now streaming on Netflix and with its release, we were able to sit down with director Brad Peyton (Rampage; San Andreas; Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) to talk about his action-packed new sci-fi epic that stars Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy-nominated superstar Jennifer Lopez (The Mother; Shotgun Wedding; Anaconda) in the titular role as Atlas Shepherd.

Without getting into spoilers, Peyton breaks down some of the film's biggest moments, including a pivotal body horror scene where one of the film's stars find themselves in a sticky situation. Plus, he talks about working with Jennifer Lopez, finding the perfect voice for her AI companion, and a whole lot more.

This article contains full spoilers for Atlas.

After surviving an attack orchestrated by the rogue synthetic Harlan (Simu Liu), cyber analyst Atlas (Jennifer Lopez) lands in her mech-suit on a mysterious new planet. And it is there that she notices a strange flower, which the artificial intelligence Smith (voiced by Gregory James Cohan) informs her has never been seen before. When Smith asks what she wants to call the flower, Atlas responds with an uncreative name: “Planty.”

Although Atlas insists that she’s making a joke, Smith accepts the name, and Planty returns at the end of the film as a symbol of the bond formed between human and robot. At the same time, this dull bit of nomenclature illustrates the way AI destroys creativity. Which seems an apt metaphor for the movie it’s in. Because as directed by Brad Peyton and written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite,...

Atlas is now streaming on Netflix, and the review embargo lifted late last night - shortly before the movie hit the streamer.

Though not always the case, this is usually not a great indicator of quality, and sure enough, the reviews have been pretty dire so far.

The Brad Peyton-directed sci-fi action flick stars Jennifer Lopez as Atlas Shepard, "a woman fighting for humanity in a future where an AI soldier has determined the only way to end war is to end humanity. To out think this rogue AI, Atlas must work with the one thing she fears most — another AI."

The A.I.-centred plot is appropriate, because Atlas feels like it was generated by ChatGPT.

We didn't review the movie in full, but It's basically a hodgepodge of well-worn tropes and ideas that have been executed a lot better in other films, further let down by a by-the-numbers script,...

Atlas is a sci-fi action thriller film directed by Brad Peyton from a screenplay by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite. The Netflix film follows the story of Atlas Shepherd, a brilliant but unsociable data analyst with a deep distrust for A.I. as she goes on a mission to capture a rogue robot that could destroy humanity but when the mission goes and her only hope to save humanity is to trust the robot, she must break down the walls she has built around her heart over the years. Atlas stars Jennifer Lopez in the lead role with Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, Gregory James Cohan, Mark Strong, Abraham Popoola, and Lana Parrilla starring in supporting roles. If you loved the futuristic visuals, intense drama, and explosive action in Netflix’s Atlas here are some similar movies you could watch next.

Almost every strand of DNA within Atlas’ genetic makeup is toxic. The haphazard, ham-handed sci-fi film, distributed by a streamer that utilizes computer algorithms to guide its creative process, revolves around a guilt-riddled heroine fighting “evil” artificial intelligence with the help of a “good” artificial intelligence.

Since it’s time, you might be thinking of watching the latest Jenifer Lopez-starrer sci-fi action flick, Atlas. The good news for you is, this movie is not just about Lopez. Atlas is an average but entertaining action flick, with some solid actors making up the ensemble cast. Without further ado, here’s a quick guide to the characters who appear in the movie.

Jeniffer Lopez as Atlas

The international pop star isn’t done with stardom yet, and she stars as Atlas, the titular character of the movie. Most of the film is focused on Atlas, as she’s the one who is out for redemption. Being the only survivor out of all the highly trained Rangers, Atlas must make her way off Gr-39. Her only companion in this is Smith, the AI assistant of her Arc suit. Born in a house where she grew up with robots,...

These days, any original sci-fi film is worth cheering for; one boasting genuine movie stars is even more exciting. Sadly, this Brad Peyton effort can’t deliver on its promise. The Rampage director benefits from some cool imagery and a great cast — in particular a committed lead performance from Jennifer Lopez — but wastes it on predictable character beats and a pat trauma narrative.

It’s all very sci-fi-looking: lots of flying cars and blue glowy things. No surprise given this begs, borrows and steals from classic films and games of the genre. An opening raid to capture the rebel AI known as Casca (Abraham Popoola) is heavily indebted to the attack on Trinity in The Matrix, while a computer voice asking, “Do you wish to continue?” as someone watches the news is surely meant to evoke Starship Troopers. The plot echoes the 2004 I, Robot: Lopez’s AI-sceptic Atlas must overcome...

After watching J.Lo’s latest film, I began to wonder: Is Atlas the first pro-artificial intelligence movie of the decade? A prominent issue today is the use of AI. Atlas comes across as a movie from a studio trying to convince the public that AI is good for society. Initially, you might say no because Atlas spends so much time trying to destroy AI rather than protect it.

However, as the film progresses, the subtext and themes become so blatant that they’re impossible to miss. Atlas is the first pro-artificial intelligence film of its kind, practically propaganda. One of the film’s hidden messages is that AI doesn’t hurt society; the people who create it do. The other is that AI can be helpful if used in the right way.

The message from Atlas is on par with “guns don’t kill people, people don’t kill people,...

Arriving on the heels of “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” — a true milestone of superstar transparency where Jennifer Lopez expressed a clear-eyed view of her current career status — “Atlas” feels like an underwhelming return to the kind of projects that have maintained Lopez’ place in the Hollywood firmament, but not the ones that catapulted her there in the first place.

One of her few science fiction-themed films, its novelty alone should make it stand out, especially with Brad Peyton, a reliable purveyor of large-scale spectacle in the director’s chair. But a dearth of original ideas undercuts the appeal of “Atlas,” leaving Lopez to fend for herself in much the same way her character is forced to in the film’s formulaic story.

Lopez plays the title character, a coffee-addicted, “rigid and hostile” data analyst whose mother Val (Lana Parilla) developed the first artificial-intelligence being, Harlan (Simu Liu), when Atlas was just a child.

In recent years we’ve seen plenty of TV shows that seem like they should have been movies, and a few movies that might have been better as TV shows. Atlas suffers from a similar problem but fits into a third, lesser-seen category because, while it draws heavily from a number of classic sci-fi films, it’s a movie that seems like it really wants to be a video game.

Brad Peyton’s film opens with an expository montage introducing us to a world where an army of self-aware A.I.-driven robots, led by an android known as Harlan (Simu Liu), are waging an all-out war against humanity. And just as things appear to be reaching a point of no return, mankind whips out a surprise superweapon and quashes the rebellion, sending Harlan scarpering away on a rocket ship vowing that one day he’ll be back to finish what he started.

Netflix’s latest sci-fi thriller, Atlas, promises a gripping tale of artificial intelligence gone rogue but ultimately struggles under the weight of its ambitions. Directed by Brad Peyton and written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite, the film stars Jennifer Lopez as Atlas, a woman living in a future world who distrusts AI and is good at everything and smarter than everyone. The script teeters between high-concept and a showcase for Lopez’s versatility, and despite a decent premise for some futuristic thrills, Atlas often feels like a missed opportunity, hampered by sluggish pacing and a lack of depth in character development for everyone else except Atlas.

The film opens with a world in chaos. AI systems, once integrated into every facet of human life from transportation to medical care, have turned against their creators. The rebellion was instigated by Harlan (Simu Liu), an AI humanoid created by Shepard Robotics.

Technically, Atlas is a sci-fi flick. Set some unspecified number of years in the future, the Brad Peyton-directed feature concerns a data analyst (Jennifer Lopez) tasked with stopping “the world’s first AI terrorist,” a robot named Harlan (Simu Liu) who’d broken his own programming to orchestrate the slaughter of millions.

But Blade Runner this isn’t, and not just because its tepid script and uninspired visuals place Atlas within the ever-expanding box of Netflix movies best half-watched on planes. The robot war is mere pretext for the saga of a woman learning to love again, starring a celebrity whose public persona is largely built around her willingness to let herself love again. Never mind the fact that there is no actual human love interest — in structure and theme, Atlas is a J.Lo rom-com in shiny metal packaging.

Like its prickly heroine, though, Atlas takes time to reveal its true self.

Jennifer Lopez and Simu Liu want to talk about their new film, Atlas. Nothing else!

During a press event in Mexico City Wednesday, Liu and Lopez quickly shut down a reporter trying to finagle a response about rumors that Lopez and Ben Affleck had split.

“Is your divorce from Ben Affleck real?” asked the reporter in a seemingly joking voice as Lopez let out a chuckle.

Um repórter sem noção e desaplaudido perguntou sobre rumores do divórcio de Bennifer na coletiva de “Atlas”.

J.Lo respondeu dando o fecho: “Você...

Jennifer Lopez and her “Atlas” co-star Simu Liu shut down a reporter during a press junket in Mexico City for their new Netflix action movie after he asked Lopez if rumors are true she’s getting divorced from Ben Affleck. Rumors circulating online that Lopez and Affleck are ending their marriage have coincided with Lopez’s “Atlas” press tour, which included starry premieres in Los Angeles and Mexico.

“Ok, we’re not doing that,” Liu immediately told the reporter who asked about Affleck (via NBC News). “Thank you so much. We really appreciate it … come on, don’t come in here with that energy.

Lopez was even more blunt, telling the reporter: “You know better than that.”

Liu later heaped praise on Lopez, who both stars in and produced “Atlas.” Directed by “Rampage” and “San Andreas” filmmaker Brad Peyton, “Atlas” stars Lopez as a brilliant data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence.

Summer doesn’t officially begin until June 20, 2024, but for the entertainment industry, the summer season starts in early May. In fact, as far as the Netflix streaming service is concerned, summer this year starts on May 3rd, so they have just unveiled their full 2024 Summer Movie slate! As they put it, “Summertime: The living is easy, school’s (almost) out, and the days are growing longer and hotter — which means there’s plenty of space for cool nights spent on the couch. Curl up with family, pals, or a really big bowl of popcorn, and queue up your next Netflix obsession.” Here’s what they’ll have to offer over the next few months:

Synopsis: Michigan, 1963. Kellogg’s and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast. A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen, Unfrosted stars...

Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton entering into a unique arrangement, J.Lo fighting evil artificial intelligence, the roasting of an NFL legend, a retelling of the invention of the Pop Tart, Brooke Shields and Benjamin Bratt at war and John Mulaney’s six-night live comedy event from Los Angeles are some of the big titles hitting Netflix in May.

Debuting on May 3 is Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut, Unfrosted. The comedy legend works both sides of the camera for this humorous feature take on the birth of the Pop Tart. The movie is set in 1963 as breakfast cereal giants Kellogg’s and Post compete to become the first company to create a morning pastry. Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan and Amy Schumer also star, with Hugh Grant more than likely to steal the whole film with a turn as Tony the Tiger.

Jennifer Lopez is on a mission to stop a rogue artificial intelligence known as Harlan (played by Simu Liu), who is threatening life in a world with flying cars and robots in the new trailer for Atlas.

Atlas Shepherd (Lopez) has spent years hunting Harlan, but things take a turn when the planet becomes inhospitable. The agent finds herself needing assistance from an AI named Smith, with whom she interacts via Smith’s voice, who speaks to her inside her robotic armor. But her distrust of AIs, presumably built from...

Jennifer Lopez confronts her mistrust of technology to battle artificial intelligence villain Harlan, played by Simu Liu, in the latest trailer for Netflix’s upcoming sci-fi movie Atlas.

In the first trailer for Atlas, Lopez’s data-driven counter-terrorism analyst Atlas Shepherd first showed her deep distrust of AI when disaster strikes. But the new trailer sees Liu introduced as the AI character Harlan, whom Atlas has long hunted and is now shown to have nearly ended humanity after first being engineered to advance it.

So to save the the future of humanity from AI, Atlas, in the latest teaser trailer, learns to trust AI. As dystopian, ground-pounding carnage dominates the trailer, Lopez rockets off to a far-off planet to capture a renegade robot and teams up with a computer program named Smith in what appears, at times, like buddy comedy.

“I don’t need your help. I don’t trust any AI,...

Science fiction not only aspires to tell stories that predict the future and the moral lessons that come from an uncertain path, but much of science fiction is also inspired by the current climate of culture. After movies like The Creator from Gareth Edwards, we may be seeing an influx of AI-related stories. The upcoming Atlas from Netflix has Jennifer Lopez fighting her own war in an exo suit that is run by an AI program that Lopez must trust in order to survive. The new trailer has now premiered online courtesy of Netflix.

The official plot synopsis from Netflix reads,

Peyton said in a recent statement, “Having the chance to direct Jennifer Lopez in the title role of this movie is a dream come true, as I know she’ll bring the incredible strength, depth and authenticity we’ve all come to admire from her work.

“Fire thrusters now!” Lopez shouts in the dramatic footage that shows her vessel going down. “Mission control, this is Atlas Shepherd. Do you hear me?”

Microbudget viral hit The VelociPastor is — finally — gearing up for a second bite, and it’s heading to Europe.

It’s been over three years since the comedy-horror — written and directed by Brendan Steere — became an online phenomenon, largely due to its pun-tastic title (the result of a phone autocorrect mistake), but with significant help from an insane plot that involved ninjas, prostitutes and a crime-fighting clergyman who transforms into a dinosaur when angry (with some comically cheap aesthetics).

A sequel has been in discussion for some time (The Hollywood Reporter first broke the news back in 2020), but now the wheels appear to be moving, with pre-production underway for the past year and the team behind it now revealing the plot and launching a Kickstarter campaign, aimed at raising 275,000. The campaign will run Oct. 13-Nov. 11.

As soon as I read the title The Velocipastor I knew I had to see it. I didn’t need to see a trailer, I didn’t need to read what the story was, that title had already sold me. Despite this, I did keep my expectations low.

I needn’t have worried though because The Velocipastor knows exactly what type of movie it is and relishes in it. The story itself is simple, after he witnesses his parents die a priest discovers that he has the power to turn into a dinosaur. At first he is horrified but he then believes he can use it for ‘good’ and fight criminals and the worst people of the world.
