Jennifer Lopez's Netflix Sc-Fi Adventure Hits Rotten Tomatoes with 10%

Atlas is now streaming on Netflix, and the review embargo was lifted late last night – shortly before the film was due to premiere on the streamer.

While this isn't always the case, it's generally not a good indicator of quality and, of course, the reviews have been pretty dire so far.

The sci-fi action film directed by Brad Peyton stars Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers, Cell) as Atlas Shepard, “a woman who fights for humanity in a future where an AI soldier has determined that the only way to end the war is to end humanity. To surpass this A rogue AI, Atlas must work with the thing she fears most – another AI.”

The AI-centric plot is appropriate, as Atlas looks like it was generated by ChatGPT.

We haven't re-watched the film in its entirety, but it's essentially a hodgepodge of well-worn tropes and ideas that have been executed much better in other films, further let down by a by-the-numbers storyline, Atrocious dialogue and unconvincing lead performances.

Some spoke out in defense of Atlasbut positive verdicts are rare on Rotten Tomatoes, where the film currently sits at an abysmal 10% with 31 reviews counted.

Check out some reactions and review links below, and let us know if you plan to try this one in the comments section.

The official synopsis reads: “Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst deeply suspicious of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go wrong, his only hope of saving the future of humanity through AI is to trust it.

Atlas also stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, Gregory James Cohan, Abraham Popoola, Lana Parrilla and Mark Strong.
