Lopez's character must navigate a hostile planet filled with AI threats.

Critics find the film lacks originality and innovation.

The neural link device, a key plot point, is poorly explained.

Atlas’s journey is compared to Ripley’s in “Aliens.”

The film's attempt at depicting AI-human relationships falls flat.

Lopez's performance is described as stressed and irritated.

The movie's writing is criticized as dismal and uninspired.

"Atlas" is considered a flop, unable to save even with Lopez's appeal.
