As Mashable’s Amanda Yeo wrote of Netflix sci-fi thriller Atlas: “If AI wrote propaganda, this is probably what it would look like.”
Keep that in the back of your mind as you watch the second trailer for the film, with Jennifer Lopez out front as the titular Atlas Shepherd.
A data analyst and agent with a grudge against AI, Atlas finds herself on a mission to retrieve a rogue robot (Simu Liu), one she’s met before. As the film progresses, it seems our protagonist might be coming around to the idea of AI when she finds herself lost on an inhospitable ice planet with only an AI for company in her gigantic robot power armor.
From Rampage and San Andreas director Brad Peyton, and written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite, this seemingly action packed film has a big cast alongside Lopez and Liu, with Sterling K. Brown, Lana Parrilla, Mark Strong, Abraham Popoola, and Gregory James Cohan.
