In Lopez’s Atlas, you’ll find similar flaws — unimaginative concept, high predictability, and superficial portrayal of beaten themes.  Atlas Review: Another one about AI Jennifer Lopez plays an analyst in the movie The film introduces us to the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) terrorist, Harlan, who has corrupted AI bots globally and convinced them to destroy humanity. As the dance of death goes on for days and humanity retaliates, he leaves the planet with a promise to return someday and …
