‘Atlas’ review: Just what Jennifer Lopez needs — another flop

nypost.com:

her Dunkin’ Donuts ad in which alleged husband Ben Affleck became a rapper, to her campy musical film “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story” that co-starred Jane Fonda and Post Malone as zodiac signs.None of it has made a lick of sense.In a modern world that’s obsessed with staying on brand, J.Lo’s brand is more like Newman’s Own — she’s got salad dressing and pet food.Which brings me to “Atlas,” her Netflix science fiction meh-pic that’s a totally uninspired rip-off of “The Terminator” and “Battlestar Galactica.” What is she doing in it?Lopez plays a socially awkward scientist and chess master named Dr.

Atlas Shepherd, who must chase down a robot terrorist hiding out on a distant planet where trees look like traffic cones.I know.

This wasn’t on my bingo card either.Instead of Skynet and Cylons, Lopez’s character says “AI” over and over again in a doomed quest for relevance.Artificial intelligence — which here, for the most part, means androids — rose up and killed 3 million people.

Twenty-eight years later, humanity is still searching for Harlan (Simu Liu), the machines’ nuts-and-bolts leader who led the devastating revolt.Atlas (another stressed-out and irritated role for Lopez) tracks down Harlan, whom she knew when she was a little girl and her mother helped develop this technology, to a faraway planet.
