Atlas (2024) is a science fiction action thriller directed by Brad Peyton, featuring Jennifer Lopez in the lead role. The film premiered on Netflix on May 24, 2024, and quickly became one of the platform’s most-watched titles, reaching the Top 10 in 93 countries despite receiving predominantly negative reviews from critics. ​

In a dystopian future where humanity is at war with artificial intelligence, Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst, is recruited for a mission to capture a renegade robot named Harlan (Simu Liu), with whom she shares a mysterious past. When the mission goes awry, Atlas finds herself stranded on an inhospitable planet and must rely on an AI-controlled mech suit named Smith to survive. As she battles external threats and her own distrust of AI, Atlas embarks on a journey that challenges her beliefs and the fate of humanity. ​

Despite critical panning, Atlas found an audience on Netflix, topping viewing charts in multiple countries. Some viewers appreciated the film’s exploration of AI themes and Lopez’s performance. However, others echoed critics’ sentiments, citing the film’s clichéd storyline and lackluster execution. ​
