Atlas (2024) Movie Review

 Plot

Atlas Shepherd, a brilliant data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a terrorist AI with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when the mission doesn't go as planned, her only hope of saving humanity from AI is to trust another AI.


Review 

An action packed, a new Netflix sci-fi movie starring Jennifer Lopez, "Atlas" explores familiar sci-fi territory with an AI gone rogue. There is nothing we haven't seen before.

CGI is used extensively for world-building and action scenes, are adequate but not particularly thrilling. The alien world depicted often feels more like a video game environment than a fully realized cinematic universe. 

Movies explore if humans and AI could co-exist or not. The plot revolves around Lopez's character, Atlas Shepherd, who initially distrusts AI but gradually learns to trust it through her interactions with the suit's AI. Although I enjoy the conversation about the difference between a human and an AI. The rest of the plot is not that interesting and engaging. Terrorist AI's story is not that interesting either. Jennifer Lopez's performance is okay. She did better than I expected.

Ultimately, "Atlas" is a "turn your brain off and watch" type of movie, offering some entertaining moments but not achieving the groundbreaking status of other sci-fi films.
