Despite Lopez’s return is uncertain, Atlas Sequel could be in the works. Jennifer Lopez continues to embody the essence of super-stardom as a multi-talented entertainment icon.
Her recent projects showcase her versatility and influence across various genres and mediums: from the heist film “Hustlers” (2019) to romantic comedies “Marry Me” and “Shotgun Wedding” (2022), the action-thriller “The Mother” (2023), and her self-funded biographical project “This is Me… Now” (2024). Add to that her 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, and it’s clear Lopez is a powerhouse in the entertainment world. While some of her projects may not always hit the mark, her magnetic presence remains undeniable.

The Flawed Charm of Atlas Sequel
In her latest venture, the sci-fi film “Atlas” directed by Brad Peyton, Lopez once again proves her star power, even if the film itself falls short. This streaming release, filled with cheesy dialogue and subpar CGI, won’t be making it to the big screen like “Minority Report” or “I, Robot.” Despite its flaws, Lopez shines as Atlas Shepherd, a brilliant data analyst navigating a future dominated by AI. Alongside Sterling K. Brown and Simu Liu, Lopez delivers lines with gusto, making the film’s straight-to-streaming release feel like a missed opportunity for a rowdy theatre experience.
AI and Trust Issues
“Atlas” explores the tension between humans and AI, with Lopez’s character harbouring a deep distrust for technology. Tasked with a dangerous mission on an unstable planet, Atlas must rely on Simon, an AI persona, to survive. The film delves into her struggle to trust Simon, paralleling broader questions about the role of AI in society. While the message about the importance of trust in human relationships is evident, it feels somewhat heavy-handed and fails to resonate deeply. Despite this, the dynamic between Atlas and Simon provides some engaging moments.
Off the Rails but Star-Powered
As “Atlas” progresses, the story veers into familiar territory, borrowing elements from better films that precede it. The stakes, intended to be high, never fully materialise, leaving the narrative somewhat disjointed. However, Jennifer Lopez’s commanding presence anchors the film, making it worth watching despite its shortcomings. Her portrayal of Atlas, combined with the film’s exploration of AI and human trust, offers enough intrigue to keep viewers engaged, even if “Atlas” doesn’t quite hit the mark.
