Jennifer Lopez confronts lethal artificial intelligence.
In the year 2043, a malicious AI ends the lives of three million individuals before vanishing into space. Approximately three decades later, a data analyst known as Atlas Shepherd ( portrayed by Jennifer Lopez) is assigned the task of apprehending this malevolent entity. Is this plot IMPLIED to be juvenile? So is the film itself.
Nowadays, the subject of artificial intelligence (AI) is tremendously popular - movies are consistently released exploring this topic, and AI can be depicted as either a savior or a destroyer of humanity. In the case of Jennifer Lopez's film, the AI decides to demonstrate its problem-solving capabilities through mass murder.
Atlas Shepherd's script is desperately outdated - the narrative is paper-thin, and both the AI and the other characters are two-dimensional caricatures. Nonetheless, the film manages to be enjoyable, despite these shortcomings.
A thorough examination of "Atlas" through Ronny Rüsch's eyes is featured in the latest episode of the ntv podcast "Oscars & Raspberries". This program also includes reviews of the mini-series "Eric", the horror movie "The First Omen", and the enchanting drama "All of Us Strangers".
