Why Are Atlas Reviews Such Bad?
Despite bad reviews, Atlas is the most recent Lopez film that has gained notoriety on Netflix. Released in May 2023, her first partnership with the streaming service was The Mother. The Mother examines raised Lopez's innovative return to her action roots, but critics judged the film unsatisfactory for its strong dependence on conventional genre clichés, therefore earning a 43% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Still, The Mother was a huge hit on Netflix, ranking the streaming service's highest opening weekend of the year at the time with 83.7 million hours watched and around 43 million total views.
Atlas is the newest Netflix action film to follow this pattern for Lopez now. Atlas reviews once more show that Lopez makes a commendable attempt to carry the great scope of the film, but ultimately it is a sci-fi spectacle that falls under the weight of its shallow and poorly written storyline. Along with The Boy Next Door (11%) and Gigli (6%), the negative reviews produced a 17% Rotten Tomatoes score from the critics—one of Lopez's worst marks of career. Atlas's 51% audience score, which is similarly bad, suggests that viewers have not particularly loved it either.

Atlas: Examining Closely
Jennifer Lopez stars Atlas Shepherd in the 2024 Netflix original film. Data analyst Atlas sets out to retrieve a renegade robot; she does not trust AI. She must, however, rely on artificial intelligence to trust when events deviate from expectations if we are to save mankind.
Viewers will have to watch the film to determine whether the narrative turns out as effective with an interesting twist at the end as it is not evident how it develops.
The Netflix Evolution
Atlas follows a bigger Netflix trend not only for Lopez but also for most customers who view whatever new movie occurs on the streaming site that weekend with little thought given to its quality. Given this past Memorial Day weekend, Furiosa, George Miller's prequel to his 2015 blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road, disappointed at the box office even with great reviews, which is particularly frustrating. But the Netflix trend is likely to endure for the foreseeable future as viewers grow more reluctant about visiting theatres.
Netflix has Atlas on streaming.
