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 alarmist agenda’s. I’ll pass.

Better than expected!

I saw one or two still images from ‘Atlas’ 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 act visually that facilitates the dullness.

I’d recommend this, though a quick look around on the usual movie sites suggests that isn’t a commonly held belief. *shrugs*

Had potential but destroyed by JL’s over acting
**Movie Review: Atlas**

Alright, let’s talk about “Atlas.” The graphics are absolutely banging, and the action scenes? Properly nailed it. You’re on the edge of your seat, loving every punch and explosion. The storyline, though, is a bit meh. Nothing to write home about, really.

Now, here’s the kicker: Jennifer’s acting. Blimey, it’s a disaster. She’s overacting like there’s no tomorrow, and it just ruins the whole vibe. It’s so over the top, you can’t take any of the serious bits seriously. It’s a real shame because everything else was looking pretty decent.

So, in a nutshell, “Atlas” is a bit of a mixed bag. Great visuals and action, but the story’s just alright, and Jennifer’s performance? Total rubbish. If you’re splashing out on a big project, make sure the acting doesn’t muck it all up.

Why oh why…
A good idea was laid to waste by such poor acting. It was painful to watch Jenifer Lopez… “pain” (grimace) for the duration of the whole movie… walking as if she had a stick on her legs and back (apparently it is how a “tough” girl walks?) was there no other emotion for the whole movie?

The whole environment felt like a game rather than a real life/alien environment.

It felt hollow, empty, rushed, but lots effort to do… what?

Why would you destroy a good story with kid gimmicks, frag fest and a horrible actress? Keep her to the rom com where she was ok?

I am even struggling to put this together…

Great movie. Story was interesting and acting was good too and most importantly no political propaganda and agenda. Thank you, creators. Really enjoyed the movie.

Unfortunately not a good movie…again.
That was one of the movies where I’m glad I wasn’t sitting in the theater. Otherwise I would have mourned my money and left the theater before the last half hour, or maybe even earlier. I was able to fast-forward and wasn’t surprised in the end because the ending was predictable, just like the whole movie. Doesn’t anyone bother to write a coherent story anymore? A few action sequences and some CGI were still reasonably well done, but they don’t make up for the bad story, the lousy dialog and the plot holes. In the beginning I still had hope that the movie would be reasonably good, but as the story progressed this hope also faded. A movie to forget…unfortunately. I give it 4 stars because the beginning was still reasonably entertaining.
