AI may not be advanced enough to make a movie even as crappy as Atlas, but in the meantime, it seems like autocomplete is having a go at it. Read full review

The Associated PressJocelyn NoveckMay 24, 2024
Atlas, an often ridiculous sci-fi epic with dialogue cheesier than a Brie wheel but also an old-fashioned, human heart o’ gold, is a J.Lo movie. Through and through. Read full review

The A.V. ClubCourtney HowardMay 24, 2024
Without a visionary director at the helm to make better use of its simplistic concept and with no infusion of camp to match its zanier facets, Atlas is a shrug. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandMay 23, 2024
It’s like cinema made by Mad Libs, but worse, because we do realize actual people made this, not just randomized choices in a studio head’s office somewhere. Read full review

We Got This CoveredCharlotte SimmonsMay 24, 2024
Much like the AI we know in the real world, 'Atlas' is unable to turn its wealth of potential into much of anything worth engaging with. Read full review

VarietyTodd GilchristMay 23, 2024
Atlas is predictable, overlong and bland, the kind of experience it’s hard to get excited about when the star player seems to be perfunctorily running the bases. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMay 28, 2024
I’ve always liked Lopez. Like Brown. Have enjoyed Liu’s recent turns and I’ve always been on Team Mark Strong. But this is pretty bad, and can’t have been any fun to film, either. Read full review

New York PostJohnny OleksinskiMay 28, 2024
Like most of Netflix’s films outside of awards season, “Atlas” is a sluggish afterthought that settles for being just short of OK. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMay 24, 2024
In “Atlas,” Jennifer Lopez does everything she can to act her way toward a good movie. Unfortunately, she can’t do it well enough to make a difference. Read full review

The Daily BeastColeman SpildeMay 24, 2024
Instead of weaving any thoughtful critique into the film’s subtext, Atlas grounds its assessment of artificial intelligence into a powder so fine that it’s near translucent. Read full review

The PlaylistRodrigo PerezMay 24, 2024
Atlas is rote and routine, using the concept of sci-fi and artificial intelligence in the most obvious way: A.I. runs wild, attacks humans, and becomes the central enemy of the entire world; the ultimate threat that humanity must face, battle, and hopefully defeat. But all of it is conventionally realized, uninspired, dull, and something you’ve seen done more inventively a thousand times before. Read full review
