Atlas

Atlas would have worked a lot better had it not been used as a vehicle for thinly veiled social engineering. Woke nonsense, AI fear mongering and climate agenda's in the form of depopulation, are front and centre, to the point where you simply can't ignore its infuriatingly tiresome, finger wagging. A drippy robot named Zoe, that whinges about its pronouns, climate change alarmism with AI that wants to "reset" humanity (heard that before?). Worse still, this bland, lecturing story, goes nowhere remotely interesting. Its predictable. formulaic fare. Is there an upside? Its pretty limited. Lots of sci fi eye candy and exposition driven special effects are well done but frankly, that's about it. In summary, a hollow exposition driven sci fi shell, filled with lecturing alarm

Better than expected! I saw one or two still images from <em>'Atlas'</em> in the lead up to watching it and I wasn't getting good vibes. Happily, I actually really enjoyed this 2024 movie - another reason to not judge a book by its cover and all that. Of course, it is nothing near perfection and has a couple of issues, e.g. a slightly overlong run time and an underwhelming villain, though overall I liked this. I do tend to enjoy seeing Jennifer Lopez, looking at the films I've viewed her in (nine titles with this one) she hasn't let me down yet; this is another showing worth watching, in my eyes at least. As noted, elsewhere Simu Liu's antagonist is forgettable. That isn't all his fault, his performance could've perhaps been better but it's more so the way the character is made to ac

Somehow this is the worst JLO movie of the year. No stars or review for this terrible, terrible movie.

It's just Titan Fall 2, but the worse version.

Atlas (2024) is lousy with unconvincing CGI visual effects and nonsensical plot points, yet the least realistic, hardest thing to believe about it is Jennifer Lopez as a super tech wiz. Atlas Shepherd is supposed to be exceedingly smart. We know that because she’s on a 71-0 chess-match winning streak against her home AI system. Even if chess proficiency were a marker of a superior intellect, how do we know Atlas didn’t program the computer to lose on purpose? Another sign of Atlas’s alleged genius is when she finds out the whereabouts of rogue humanoid artificial intelligence Harlan (Simu Liu) by tricking Harlan’s main henchman. “When you thought I found Harlan in your code, you checked to make sure that I didn’t. Your fear led me right to him.” You’d think a brilliant mind like Atla
