Atlas REVIEW – Not Mapped Out Enough
Due to the growing popularity of A.I in addition to the circumstances surrounding the protests last year it’s not surprising that movies are likely to tackle this issue. It was apparent earlier in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Instead of tackling this issue in depth and detail, Atlas is merely an blend of films from the genre prior to it, but it fails to provide any originality or interesting ideas.
Jennifer Lopez plays Atlas Shepherd who is an analyst looking for A.I Harlan (Simu Liu) throughout the course of her existence. Harlan was invented by her mother however, somehow, Harlan was able to change his code later killed the person who created him. Harlan went on to terrorize humans and then went underground. Today, many years later his accomplice Casca (Abraham Popoola) has been snatched and interrogating him is the only chance of finding Harlan.
The film does not spend enough time in the creation of worlds. The audience is only in Atlas the apartment of Atlas for just one minute prior to going on an adventure in space and we’re not able to experience the degree of communication that society can have through A.I. A film like I, Robot, which may not be the greatest sci-fi film ever made, puts in an effort to create our current technological world.
Let me tell you that J.Lo is a complete jerk She is committed to the physicality that is required for the role, yet she isn’t quite right. The first part I’ve ever seen from J.Lo that she appears not glamorous, however this doesn’t help Atlas to feel like a real persona. Atlas is defined by the guilt and trauma she has experienced The majority of the film is one lengthy therapy session with Atlas trying to make a connection to Smith (voiced with the voice of Gregory James Cohan) – an ARQ she must be able to rely on for her survival.
Smith is very sassy because of some reason. it really alters the mood of the movie sometimes. I’m not sure how supposed to think at times when Atlas Smith and Smith get into a fight with each the other, but I recognize that this doesn’t make for a fun. The film doesn’t spend time developing or enhancing any different characters. There are great actors such as Mark Strong and Sterling K. Brown but they are not featured in the film, meaning they’re not given the possibility of making an contribution to the story.
The film soon follows an ambiguous path with regards to A.I Harlan and Smith. Harlan is a bad A.I, Smith is good A.I but that’s all that’s in the tale. What is the reason Harlan wander off? Nobody knows. It’s easy to imagine Harlan is Harlan is A.I since Liu only has one look that he displays throughout the film – an unrelenting coldness. Liu is nothing but a tad boring in his character, and it’s not really his fault since the script doesn’t take time to make him more interesting than the fact that he’s a terrible A.I.
It’s not clear whether it’s funny or appropriate to say that the movie seems like it’s been written by ChatGPT. It’s boring and dull to the end and I might be okay with if it were even a bit better but this isn’t even this. Atlas Also, it’s a film which tries to demonstrate how the main character been able to let go of her personal baggage by undergoing a transformation her hairstyle. The film begins with her hair curly but concludes in straight hair. You’ll have to determine what this means.
