You would think that a sci-fi movie where Jennifer Lopez partners with a smart-ass, sentient mech suit to fight against her evil AI brother would be a little more fun. Alas, Atlas takes itself far too seriously. It also fails to really dig into the complexities of the AI debate...
Atlas takes place almost three decades after an uprising that saw an advanced AI bot named Harlan help liberate other machines, who then proceeded to bypass their security protocols and start a war with humanity. Except, in this case, the AIs lose, and Harlan heads off-planet to lick his wounds - but not before issuing an ominous threat...
The most important thing you need to know about Atlas is that she has grown to absolutely loathe AI and, by extension, most futuristic tech. She has the same fears many of us do (along with sci-fi characters like Will Smith in I, Robot), which are exacerbated by the fact that the tech around her can be hacked and exploited by Harlan and his associates.
