Netflix’s latest release, “Atlas,” has sparked significant controversy despite topping the streaming platform’s most-watched list. The action-sci-fi film starring Jennifer Lopez has received a mixed reception, creating a buzz on social media. So, what has led to this polarized reaction, and how did “Atlas” manage to climb to the number one spot?
“Atlas” Faces Heavy Criticism Despite Popularity
Directed by Brad Peyton, “Atlas” features Jennifer Lopez as a warrior fighting to prevent technology from falling into the wrong hands. The film, which seems to blend elements of “Terminator” and “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” has been heavily criticized for its low-quality special effects and simplistic storyline.
Released on Netflix on May 24, “Atlas” quickly garnered poor reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a dismal 19% rating, making it one of Lopez’s lowest-rated films since “Gigli” in 2003. Despite the harsh reviews, “Atlas” has achieved significant viewership success. It has topped Netflix’s film chart, amassing 56 million viewing hours and over 28 million views. The main cast also includes Simu Liu, Lana Parrilla, and Mark Strong.
