Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it. Atlas is only on Netflix, May 24.

I just have absolutely zero faith in a Netflix blockbuster, they have a remarkably low success rate. I'll keep an eye on impressions though

Wow, that robot really did fall. Like uh. Like a big thing of some kind. Falling down. Is there a name for that?

So the majority of the film is J-Lo acting inside a cockpit while the rest is mostly CGI? I mean. Sure. Good way to make a paycheck.

It looks very pretty. Very Titanfall. I'll be surprised if it's any good though.

It's even called fucking Atlas and Atlas is a Titan. It's so rote. EA be shook.

Woof @ that trailer thumbnail, that looks like shit. The actual trailer definitely felt like what was going on inside the suits had nothing to do with the cool Titanfall shit that was happening outside of the suit.

I'm a sucker for sci fi but... I'm pretty meh on this. Esp considering it's Netflix whose track record doesn't exactly blow my hair back.

Good luck tho, I'd be happy to be wrong.

You going to have Sterling and Simu in there and have them do nothing?

I mean, it's not on the levels of Gotti; but the film needing nine producers to get the movie made doesn't sound encouraging.

Is it a rule that these movies need to be completely rote rip-offs?

From the director of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, San Andreas, and Rampage. Did Rock turn this one down?

Huh, J Lo is definitely not someone I would think of in a sci fi blockbuster, but Ill give it a go.

She did do a big, weird sci-fi thriller called The Cell almost 25 years ago, though I guess one could argue it wasn't designed as a blockbuster since it was rated R. It made a respectable chunk of cash on a big budget, though. I'm sure the film's performance came up in discussions about her casting

Looks cool visually but so did Rebel Moon

Yeah, Tarsem is the master of visuals. Sad that Immortals wasn't a bigger hit

Seems like a neat B-film to celebrate my 30th. I wonder if they'll do a fastball in this movie:

Jlo had some free schedule from all those cancelled concerts that she filmed this in no rush.

i hope she sings in the movie

also if someone uses AI to replace J Lo with like say the protag from Stellar Blade would that much AI trigger the singularity

you know what we REALLY need


Zack Snyder presents ??? featuring J Lo and Adam Sandler directed and written by Zack Snyder also starring Kevin Hart


the Netflix trifecta, completed

Atlas Shepherd? Really? Most generic ass sci-fi name for a character I can think of. The script definitely reeks of some AI bullshit. Or written by someone who had just played Titanfall and Mass Effect.

Brad Peyton has outdone himself. I'm 5 minutes into this thing and it's already the dumbest movie I've ever seen.

That poster looks like a big budget remake of Robot Jox.

The trailer looks somehow even less interesting than a big budget remake of Robot Jox.
