Jennifer Lopez in a spaceship on the poster for Atlas.
Despite its star-studded cast, Atlas demonstrated a rotten outing with critics. Netflix's latest original effort stars the one and only Jennifer Lopez as the titular Atlas Shepherd, a scientific analyst who might be the key to winning the war. Her intimate knowledge about the creation and operating system of Harlan , an AI soldier gone rogue determined to wipe out humanity, makes her invaluable to humanity.
Chappie explores giving autonomy to robots programmed and existing in a society that would prefer the alternative. The idea of independent thinking is critical in Atlas for both humans and AI, and then discovering where the boundary blurs. Chappie’s newfound free-thinking makes for a unique arc that, with more narrative development, could have been a successful cinematic metaphor for autonomy and oppression in the modern world.
Ripley is one of the best female protagonists of all time, not just within the sci-fi genre. Although inferior to Ripley, Atlas undergoes obvious physical and emotional changes by the time her movie ends, even if her transition from desk analyst into survival mode field ranger wiping out AI soldiers is underwhelming. On the contrary, Alienpresents a heroine who plausibly undergoes a shift in behavior.
Spader is unflinchingly brilliant as Ultron, making the villain’s mission all the more terrifying. Once Ultron understands the havoc mankind is capable of and all that it destroys, he vows to eliminate the threat, just like Atlas' Harlan. However, Harlan isn’t given nearly enough screen time to convince audiences that he has a surface-level point to his plan.
Let’s consider Atlas as a stepping-stone film to the underrated Upgrade. Atlas features mild AI physical integration with the neuro-links connecting the characters with their robot counterparts. Upgrade goes ten steps further with its brain implant and full, bloody autopilot. The two films exist in different spaces of the sci-fi genre but share a common AI thread that engages similar audiences.
