Walked in and out of the room today as my wife was watching this piece of crap. Boy, Lopez got an easy gig with this one. All she had to do was sit in a chair and emote.
Atlas is an ad for Netflix. Like Red Notice and Damsel. It's an algorithm designed to pull in subscribers to their service. The script is AI written, they pay big name actors whatever they need to and use cheap cgi to get it done. That's why the ideas and cinematography are generic and uninspired. It's just so Netflix can bait potential subscribers, it's not actually for anyone to watch.
I'm more of a hard science fiction fan and an IT professional. So I'm a serous technical nitpicker. 1) JLO and the screenwriters really don't seem to have a clue about how AI works or could potentially work. So many of her lines and exposition were cringe AF. 2) The fact that they just casually say that they are going to go fight the bad guy on a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. That is 2.5 million light years away from our galaxy! When we look at the Andromeda Galaxy we see what it looked like 2.5 million years ago. Yet this society doesn't appear to be more than maybe 100 years from now. By comparison, even in the Star Trek franchise (which isn't hard sci-fi I know) that occurs between 150 - 1,000 years from now they still haven't left this galaxy. Yet Atlas and her cronies act as though going to Andromeda Galaxy is like they are running down the street to get a slurpee at 7-11 and a pack of cigarettes. After this last little tidbit I just flipped my brain to the off position and proceeded to laugh hysterically.
Their representation of a foreign space vista was laughable. When you have watched great Sci Fi like the Expanse, I am watching this CGI Bullshit and I can tell people who know nothing about Space made the CGI. When they arrive at the planet, like 2 or 3 other planets and an astrroid belt are all in the same shot. I'm thinking you didn't even have to come here for this dude. If he stayed there any longer, he would have died in the planetary collision that was clearly about to happen.
Atlas seems like made very very simple in early draft before adjusting it to be more believable. Unlike, for example: Cameron's Avatar, that early scripts was made far more complex before simplified to audience.
@@marshallstannus yes I did and it's more crazy than I expected. The movie it's so badly written. As a professional dancer, I found the choregraphies hystericals & the dancing in the rain was so bad, Gene Kelly would have 🤮. . The doc was embarrassing, she can't listen to good advice cse she has a delusional grandiosity about her talents. Nobody would care if she wasn't walking around like she is a great artist, trashing other very good actressses.
I find this jlo bashing trend lately a bit silly … it’s a sort of mobbing really … the masses have tasted blood … and there they are … ready to rear the wounded animal in pieces. This is not a great movie, but not horrible in its genre … it’s just non ton lately to drag jlo through the mud … good for her, there’s no such thing as bad publicity
Funny things that I think you didn't mentioned: - The AI terrorists are so so advanced, so high tech that an small magnet can destroy them, but wait, even 28 years ago they didn't tried some kind of magnet weapon to kill them all? Like a big EMP may be? lol! - The amazing MECH tech that JLo need to actually make MOVES (Move legs and arms) inside the Mech to actually move it?, so she gets even tired and sweating because of the physical effort ? lol! - A.I it's totally in SYNC with JLo, but she still need to do swipes to the UI and TALK to the A.I to do things? so advanced lol! - A.I. first and worst terrorist in the Universe, can makes a lot of clones of the "Cosko"? terrorist, but it CAN'T do millions of clones of himself and spread it around many galaxies. So advanced, no no!, I must be only ONE! LOL!. Same stupid plot than "THE CREATOR" movie, the stupid kid that CAN'T BE CLONED by millions. They didn't learned from THE MATRIX virus? SMITH?, that it cloned him self.
The scene with the sword came from T2 in the elevator. Jlo even gets injured in the same back area as Sarah Connor. This is awful. This doesn’t help Jlo case of stealing from other artists. Now she is doing it to other actors. She must be stopped! LOL
"JUST SHUT-UP AND SWIVEL IT!" best line ever. I can see why reviewers love to hate on this movie. But is it really the next Showgirls? I mean, I liked it. Espectially the stuff with Smith. And look ... its Number 1 in the top 10 on Netflix. Maybe the AI Bots are the new zombies. Cuz this movie slaps in America.
Netflix chooses what they put at their top. They’ve put things that have absolutely flopped as “top” for a while when absolutely nobody was watching them or talking about them. It’s a marketing strategy, nothing more
@@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access basically put expensive yet bad movies on top so usual audience watch without thinking. While "hiding" good but cheap movies, make no effort to promote them, because Netflix knew fans/ movie enthusiasts usually search it themselves.
Guess the ear-piece isn't defibrillating her in an actual sense but makes her still living brain sending out nerve impulses to cause repeated violent contractions of her muscles including the heart and diaphragm which has essencially the same effect as an external defibrillator which also causes such contractions. I don't know whether something like this would be possible, but in zerms of movie logic and regards to suspension of disbelief this makes much more sense than an ear-piece making her breath in space somehow as if it could conjure not oxygen but breathable air and materialize/dematerialize it in the lungs in short order. The "defibrillation scene" is actually a good idea within the premises - in contrast to most of the other stuff.
Did you seriously just make a 50-year-old man sound like the guy from the Pepperidge Farm commercials in your scenario? How old and out of touch do you think 50 is? Dude, Ryan Reynolds is almost 50. Hugh Jackman is 55. Keanu Reeves is almost 60.
I'm glad you said this. Not 50 yet myself,but I laugh when I realize that whole "wet behind the ears" saying comes from how notable it is to witness a young guy like this, talk with this "entitled youth" zeal, (as if it isn't gone in the blink of an eye). Next week a teenager will be talking about how old he is... The movie is quite bad, (no Jupiter Ascending to be sure), but the way this guy starts the review by saying "Bots are what we call normies", made me laugh, because to me, when I hear ANYONE use pop culture speak as a standard to prove their relevance, shows them straining to be important somehow. This shows how far down the path of a loss of creativity, including movies, daily language, and young peoples personalities, we have traveled... Next stop for this guy is looking for something to bring meaning to his life ,besides RU-vidr who is temporarily not 50 years old. Goes by quick boy, no pressure 😅 thumbs down for this guy.
Naaaaah. What the episode Virtual in-stanity from American dad, which parodies James Cameron's Avatar and Aliens with a person in a mech fighting a smaller robot. They DEAD must have ripped that scene of. Instead of it being a guy in mech suit fighting a 15 foot blue woman in the show it's Francine fighting Stans female human Avatar. In this movie they just did that but with "Jenny from the block" fight Shang chi
Yeah! I just thought the naming scheme would help people keep track of who I’m talking about, as the name Harlan was rather boring for a killer ai bot! I agree not hard to pronounce
@@cristela4034 why though? Asian names get mispronounced and interchanged and Asian identities erased for laughs all the time. It’s tired. I am sure Marshall means no malice, it just stuck out to me that he’s the only actor who gets renamed for a laugh 🤷🏾♀️
@@anushapremkumar7356 This is why comedy is dead, cause no one can make a joke without someone getting offended. You say Simu Liu is a known actor but he is mostly known for Shang-Chi. Jennifer Lopez, on the other hand, is a well known singer and actress. He also renamed one character to Costco for laughs, cause all character's names where really generic or dumb.
Thinking about you and your gf laughing at the ridiculous scenes you highlighted made me laugh like hell!.. BTW, you totally remind of Tommo, he's an F1 tuber... Thanks so much for sharing!
You unfortunately missed. what I. like about sci-fi movies. Many of the good ones. Star Wars is an example are extremely Corny. And simple minded. But the thing that made Star Wars spectacular. was seeing on screen the reality. of great special effects that brought the universe to life. and I have to admit that this movie had great sci-fi. special effects. for that reason, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Someone else made the point there is a certain dirty satisfaction in watching unintelligent, non-science fiction people make a science fiction movie, if only to see all the bizarre assumptions and inaccuracies. If a society can casually travel to the Andromeda galaxy in little time (presumably by folding space), it definitely would not be concerned about a 28yr old robot, regardless of how sophisticated it was in the past. It would have been outdated and bested one year later, and wholly irrelevant after about four years.
Okay I think the thing with the missle is just poorly edited. I believe what was supposed to be happening is she fires the missle as she's running and so she runs past the explosion/cliff just after we see the explosion happen, but they didn't show that on screen. So when the cliff falls she's already past where the missle hit and is struck by the falling rocks. It seems to be missing a transition shot that would have helped make it more clear what was happening. However, this just raises the question of why would she, or really anyone, ever do that? I didn't watch the movie so is it possible that she was trying to crush some behind her, or maybe trying block off the path of the enemies chasing her? It doesn't look like it so I don't think it makes sense either way but I tried.
I would just like to go on the record that JLO doesn’t know how to play chess, yet alone win a chess game against anything sentient…. She’s just a flop in general
I've seen some terrible Netflix movies and this one was surprisingly better than a lot of them. It was formulaic, and lacked any surprises, but the dialogue was 90% surprisingly acceptable, Jlos acting was competent, and the action was enjoyable. Honestly, it wasn't that bad. Unlike that two movie thing that came out recently that was so bad, I felt like it was bad on purpose. Rebel Moon, that's the one. Oh man, just stupidly bad. This was so much better than that.
She knowingly wasted billions of dollars and cost every soldier's life that went on the mission of (not just destroying) capturing Harlan ONLY to figure out how he bypassed security...which him doing that never actually happened, They could have just nuked him from a distance when they located him. This just so she could personally make sure he's destroyed to avenge her mom and keep her secret from getting out.. The self-made Hero lol
"You're in a giant robot" "What did you think was gonna happen!" 😅😅😅 Your review cracked me up. Other than this I will never watch this movie. I'm. Sure your review was far more Entertaining.
I liked this movie. I don't get the hate some movies get, people are like sheep, their "neighbor" or "favorite reviewer" disliked it so I have to dislike it to.
Netflix speciality is to overpay an ex superstar and put them in a trash movie. Surprisingly, it’s massively successful. What does that say about the audience?
Here’s a similar one I found! www.zensationalgifts.com.au/products/pug-dog-shape-decorative-cushion-pillow?variant=40513060012099¤cy=AUD&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6uWyBhD1ARIsAIMcADogQbMYuwViSa1NQKwWNCSYZoUhWqqnvioxMHnP_n82C8TsrY9EY3kaAsDYEALw_wcB
Lets not forget... Netflix uses an algorithm of everything people watch to determine what people want to watch. The algorithm got it right! Loved it! It was entertaining! All the things you are pointing out are all weird because everything makes sense in the movie! Hella ride🎉
I was invested for about 20 min. I couldn't wait to see where they were gonna take it. It had an Aliens vibe, with a little bit of Terminator mixed in. Then I thought the were gonna go BO3 campaign route. Sadly none of that came to pass.
Hey buddy, his name is Simu Liu, not Shang Chi. You seem to know every other actor's name but his. Why is that? Is he not important enough for you to know it? Do your research. This is disrespectful.
I believe streaming services stopped aiming to make good content... Stuff that's objectively appealing to a large portion of their respective audiences. It's all about quantity of content. Netflix doesn't (or maybe they do) know that people are simply playing Netflix as background music. Like AM/FM stations. shareholder meetings do not touch on quality of content. The only important metrics are viewership. How many people played the movie.
Not sure what's the issue with the term "bot" though. We are probably coming from different generations, but back in my time when there was no twitter and facebook to "bot" on, we used to play things like Half-Life and Counter Strike and every now and then we had AI driven companions - bots. So the term is okay and legit.
I'm only one in the world that thinks that film IS a COMEDY with action and a scifi? Like Marvel's movies. The jokes are bad and the editor did not his job to delivery the jokes, but its trying to be a comedy
As a generic 50 year old black man I take offense to being excluded from the demographic that would think this is "another terminator film". 🤣 Back in my day we used to call these "Thursday Night Prime" films - named after the Cinemax Thursday night low budget trash films that would inexplicably have a-list actors in them. Keep up the good work!
The thing with you is you never tried an AI relationship. Try and then give the movie another chance. It's like a new song on the radio. Before you know it, you're humming the bad song. At this point you know you're in trouble.😂😂❤❤
Is not bad acting, but is not great neither ..the problem is that her crazy fans will start demanding a nomination to the Oscars and if she dont get it ( she will not ) they will say she got snubbed because people are jealous of her beauty
I actually enjoyed iit. It's an ok movie. The bad guy was terrible. that is true. Not a big JLo fan, but she earned ther pay on this one. She was the best thing of the movie
Its funny you say this is made for 50 year old dads with brain rot because, turns out, thats exactly who ot was made by. The executive producer (and one of the writers) is Aaron E Coliete, 49, who also worked on notable Netflix flops like Locke and Key, the Spiderwick Chronicles, the movie Mortal, and only a couple more credits.
I'm baffled about how you see 50 year-olds. I'm a Chilean woman and I'm not that stupid or clueless. Kind of bored of genx, gen z, millennials rivalry. Any 50 year-old person knows, it doesn't matter if they're white or not, who Jennifer Lopez is. You sound more like my 80 year-old dad and even he would find this movie a disaster. LOL
The most painful part is not cringing so hard that you pull a muscle watching JLo pretending to act. And what's a shame is if love to have more piloted mech movies, but because this worthless celebrity was put into this utter dog shit movie, studios are going to make the assumption that people don't want to watch mech movies, as opposed to realizing they want to see good mech movies with a good script.
I tried to watch the movie, but I quit fast. As a joke, it would be kind of funny. Your review is hilarious. Why is everything JL does anymore is the most ridiculous joke?
I am an average 50 year old Gen x white guy, and this hot garbage is not for us. I'm going to kick this down the road to the guys our dad's ages..maybe 75ish...maybe this is for them.
