Atlas is a sci-fi thriller in which humanity faces the fury of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Filled with impressive visuals and intense action sequences, the movie explores themes of technology, ethics, and humanity’s future in an increasingly interconnected world. However, despite Jennifer Lopez’s convincing performance, the film’s predictability impedes its potential to become an incredible masterpiece.

Jennifer Lopez is simply superb as a human distrusting machine. Her struggle to survive the battle and her transformation from analyst to combat fighter are convincing. Simu Liu, as the villainous robotic character Harlan, is believable, though he could have been more impactful. Sterling K. Brown, as Colonel Elias, delivers a strong performance, and Abraham Popoola, as the unbeatable AI fighter Casca, is brilliant. In a limited role as Atlas’s mother, Lana Parrilla plays a key character in the film.
