Atlas

The premise of this movie is good. The writing is very elementary. It's a fun romp of a science fiction flick but it's super painful watch at the end of the day. Jennifer Lopez is a truly brutal actress! Nails on a chalkboard. The sound of bad brake pads and brake rotors on a neglected car. The sound of a jackhammer. All these things are better than enduring Jennifer Lopez and her terrible acting skills. I pity anyone who gives this "movie" a rating of two or more stars. Her husband Ben Affleck is a far superior actor. Don't believe me? Think I am crazy for taking the time out of my day to write such a horrid review? Watch this "movie" and see for yourself. The movie critics are 100% accurate here. She phoned it in.

Brad Peyton seems to be another one of these directors that Hollywood keeps throwing money at for mediocre formulaic movies, almost certainly written with AI now, trading on big star names & flashy soulless CGI. Jennifer Lopez is still just an average actor I hate to say, propped up by better actors around her. Using AI as a plot device has already been done so much better in movies since the 80's, but is now mostly just boring. It's easy to see all the movies Peyton is trying to pay homage to, but it's usually in the laziest way possible. The excessive time of Lopez alone in her mech suit, clearly just hours of her, green screen, & the director trying to come up with remotely interesting dialogue, is truly a test of endurance to watch. This movie will be forgotten within months.

If you are a sci-fi fan and are known with the Titanfall game series, this movie will be very surprising. It is yet another take on the 'ai will take over the world'. But since I am a big fan of the Titanfall series it was great to experience a movie that was set unintentionally in the world of Titanfall. Jennifer Lopez would not have been my first choice to star in this type of movie, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by her acting. The relationship between ai and humans got very well portrayed by Jennifer. I even almost shed a tear in the end of the movie. Having said this, I would say that there is a lot of untapped potential. It was a good experience, but it could have been amazing with a more compelling story and build up. The story felt a bit cliché at moments but the CGI partly made up for this.

The writers latch onto a current concern: what happens if AI develops to a point where it decides it's time for us to go and it's bye-bye humanity. The special effects are good and I like imaginings of what the future will look like and what I will miss out on, unless maganuts destroy everything first.

I assume most who decided to watch Atlas did so because they like a good sci-fi space opera and wanted to see how Jenny from the block is holding up.

There isn't a lot new here as plot goes: madman (mad robot, same thing) is determined to kill everyone except for a few chosen; heroine is off to stop him. And plot twist (not really), heroine finds soul mate.

The film is pretty much a one woman show as Ms. Lopez is on camera 100 per cent of the time. As she has to work in a confined space for much of the film, acting as such is how well Ms. Lopez can use her voice to create mood and sense of urgency. Basically a decent pop corn flic.

Not good . J lo past her prime and this is an effort to reignite the failing career of a once popular singer .

Not worth the effort save your time and watch AI or Blade Runner or something with substance .

The acting is ok , effects are poor quality, and the story is rather stupid .

With failing concert ticket sales, failing looks, and failing career. I think this Atlas is a map jlo will should get lost in and those who pick it up will wish they are playing where is Waldo. Why waste your time on this vanity project for pop culture has been ? Spend your time and money on yourself you deserve better .
