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

  • 6 days ago
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.
