Jennifer Lopez plays a data analyst on the hunt for an evil robot
Jennifer Lopez fans are flocking to social media in praise of her latest performance in a new Netflix sci-fi thriller.
While some viewers have been left heavily divided by J Lo’s latest film, others have swooned online, blown away by her performance in the action movie.
Cast, crew and synopsis
The film was written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Colette and directed by Brad Peyton.
And as well as starring the one and only J Lo, its cast also includes Simu Liu (best known for Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and, of course, Barbie) and Mark Strong (The King’s Man and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).
The story centres around a government analyst named Atlas (Lopez) who is forced to confront her hatred and distrust of artificial intelligence when her mission into outer space searching for a robot goes awry.

Reactions
Despite some viewers being left very divided over Atlas and it achieving a pretty abysmal rating on Rotten Tomatoes – with an audience score of a sad-looking 54 percent and an even more tragic critics’ score of just 17 – J Lo fans are coming out in force to defend her latest release.
A user took to LADbible Facebook group Netflix Bangers to rate Atlas a strong nine out of 10.
Another user quickly responded: “Easily her best role, I actually enjoyed her acting… She did well…”
And the praise for J Lo has spilled over onto X too.

One user wrote: “We just watched Jennifer Lopez’s Atlas movie on Netflix. Definitely out of her norm in the best way possible. (I LOVE Rom Coms).
“Great mixture of brains, heart and bad a**. Looking forward to seeing @JLo play more parts like this!!!”
Another added: “One thing about Jennifer Lopez…she is going to act her ass off each and every time! We watched Atlas twice already, 10/10. Loved the Reunion with Smith at the end.”
And a third resolved: “To the surprise of no one, Atlas is number one in over 70 countries. The new Jennifer Lopez film adds to her year of number one hit movies and iconic filmography. The haters are crying right now.”
Indeed, despite the criticism the movie has faced, Flix Patrol reports as of today (May 28), Atlas actually is the number one film on Netflix with Ice Age: Collision Course, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, In Good Hands 2 and Mother of the Bride, the other titles to make the top five.
