‘Atlas’ Review: The J.Lo AI Sci-Fi Flick Is One of the Year’s Biggest Misfires

As a creative, I am constantly worrying myself with questions about artificial intelligence.

Genocide and AI are two extremely pertinent, complex topics that should be addressed with intense consideration, so as not to alienate the people entrenched in their real-life dangers every day. Unfortunately,has a graceless approach to both, opting to ladle a heaping helping of CGI slop over a thinly written, myopic plot. The film is a nonsensical, emotionless dreck that can’t conjure a compelling character to save its dwindling life.

In a futuristic version of Los Angeles, where the Hollywood sign has been torn down and replaced with a hotel in the same iconic shape—the movie’s first and last bit of unique world-building—Atlas works diligently to monitor the activity of Harlan and his team of AI rebels. As part of her work, Atlas interrogates captured AI insurgents, left behind to act as spies among humans and feed the information back to their commander.

Unlike everyone else in this version of our world, Atlas is AI-averse. The closest she’ll get to using hyper-intelligent technology to do her bidding is when she barks into the ether, “QUAD AMERICANO!” which lets a nearby coffee machine make her order. So, she's understandably reluctant when Colonel Elias Banks insists that Atlas come along on their mission to provide expert knowledge on Harlan’s moves.
