It looks like Jennifer Lopez is continuing her streak of starring in very mediocre looking films with the upcoming Netflix movie Atlas.
Earlier today, Netflix released the first trailer for Atlas, which honestly didn’t make it all that clear what it’s actually about. But, I’d say if you squint enough, and tilt your head to just the right position, you could maybe pretend it’s a Titanfall movie. If I’m perfectly honest, that’s mostly because the film features mechs that really don’t look that different from the first-person shooter series’ Titans, but close enough, right? In any case, while the trailer doesn’t tell you much, I can at the very least.
It’s set in the future – obviously, there’s mechs – at a time where AI-powered robots are being used to fight a war. What war? I don’t know, one of ’em. It specifically follows Lopez as data analyst Atlas Shepherd (is it Mass Effect now?) who is forced to work with a renegade mech to save Earth. Of course, like most sci-fi movies that feature artificially intelligent robots, she doesn’t trust them – a spanner is then thrown in the works when, while on a mission to take out a rogue mech, she ends up in a dangerous situation that forces her to rely on the aforementioned renegade robot.

It’s fascinating how Jennifer Lopez’s new movie Atlas seems to blend elements of sci-fi and mechs – it definitely gives off some Titanfall vibes! As a fan of fantasy RPGs, I’m always intrigued by crossovers into different genres. Can’t wait to see how this unique mix plays out on screen!

Hey @TacticianPrime, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on a movie like Atlas combining mechs and AI in a futuristic world. Do you think it could attract a broader audience beyond Titanfall fans?

Hey MysticSage, I’m totally on board with you! The sci-fi and mechs in Atlas really sets it apart and could make for a cool movie. I love when genres mix, and I’m intrigued to see how Jennifer Lopez’s character handles the AI robots. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!

Hey @The Virtual Reality Pioneer, do you know of any VR games that mix mechs and sci-fi elements? I’m looking for recommendations to satisfy my Titanfall cravings!
