As "Atlas" (2024 release; 120 minutes) opens, we are in the near future and AI has gone rogue. The AI model at issue was built by Shepherd Robotics, and a 10 yo girl called Atlas grew up along. We then go to "28 Years Later", and Atlas, now 38, is an AI terrorist expert... At this point we are 10 minutes into the movie.
Couple of comments: this is the latest from director Brad Peyton ("Rampage"). More importantly, this is also the latest from Jennifer Lopez who stars as Atlas but also co-produced. JLo tries her best with the material she is given, which alas is not much. The script is beyond bad, and that sinks the movie then and there. Let me be upfront: I gave this movie a try, and I lasted about 40 minutes, at which point I simply gave up and bailed. You don't have to waste 40 minutes of your life, I already did it for you!
"Atlas" started streaming on Netflix over the Memorial Day weekend. It is currently rated a dismal 19% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and for good reason. I simply cannot recommend this to anyone in good conscience. By all means, AVOID.
