Plot: A brilliant data analyst with a deep distrust of AI finds it may be her only hope when a mission to capture a renegade robot goes awry.
This Atlas Movie was a mess.
Pros: I sympathize with the AI more than Jennifer Lopez’s character. The CGI looks descent enough & at the same time I enjoyed Jennifer Lopez as the lead.
Cons: It tried to have a discussion about artificial intelligence benefits for human kind but not succeeding. I didn’t engaged with the main storyline that much. All the green screen effects was obvious how terrible they were. It does rushed a lot & it biggest downfall is it’s script.
