This week’s movie highlight on Netflix is the thrilling sci-fi adventure, ‘Atlas,’ released this past weekend. Jennifer Lopez stars in the titular role, playing Atlas Shepherd, a government analyst catapulted to a distant world on a mission to defeat her oldest enemy: a formidable robot warrior.
Atlas is set in a high-tech, galaxy-spanning world crafted by writers Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite, and directed by Brad Peyton, known for his work on ‘San Andreas‘ and ‘Rampage.’

Twenty-eight years after her father’s groundbreaking technological breakthrough, Atlas is tasked with confronting her “brother” — the AI terrorist responsible for leading the robot revolution. As she ventures into the field, she must reconcile her past and overcome her prejudices against AI to thwart the impending threat.
