  1. Heed its title’s advice and just don’t.
  2. Arguably the least inspired film in the actor’s canon, if not all of movie history.
  3. 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.
  4. The film repeatedly oversimplifies Wilkerson's polemic, dumbing down the argument for an audience that may well start to feel patronized.
  5. Some of the chintziest and most uninspired exploitation cinema this side of Sharknado.
  6. It repeats the same joke over and over (and over again). And just when you think Wolfs might be interested in moving onto fresh new material, it attempts the same punchline again, in its 400th variation.
  7. A sequel that ups the ante in virtually every way—none of them good.
  8. Were it not for scattered laughter-inducing scenes—most of which, I would gather, were not intentionally humorous—I would rule it an abomination. ... Melania is a level of insipid propaganda that almost resists review; it’s so expected and utterly pointless.
