With all of its growing popularity among the world’s viewers, Netflix is still not having the best times right now as its biggest premieres turned out to be the streaming’s biggest disasters ever seen.
It all started even back in 2023, when Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire hit the platform in December, and now it seems like Netflix’s highly anticipated flicks are jeopardized by the epic space opera franchise’s curse.
Though Snyder’s flops sank into oblivion as soon as they left the streaming’s top 10 chart, their fate is nonetheless repeated by a brand new sci-fi movie that, despite its reign in the top chart, appears to be even worse.

Nothing comes easy for “The Fall Guy” (Universal). Despite a home release 18 days after opening (typical for Universal) and outgrossing “Civil War” by $4 million despite playing for four weeks less, Alex Garland’s film shares top honors with the stuntman actioner this week on the VOD charts.
Both films, available for rental for 48 hours at $19.99, placed #1 on one chart apiece. “Civil War” leads at iTunes (ranking by transactions), while “Fall Guy” does at Fandango (calculated by revenue). One factor differentiating the two is that “Civil War” was released on Friday, while “Fall” debuted the previous Tuesday. That gave the latter an edge on Fandango, which has a weekly Monday-Sunday chart. It was #1 on iTunes on Wednesday through Friday, with “Civil War” #1 since.
“Fall” of course has been a disappointment in theaters. With a head of steam ahead of opening to excellent reviews, Ryan Gosling momentum, and a prime early May release date,...

It’s been confirmed that American actor Alec Baldwin will still stand trial this summer over the infamous shooting that happened on Oct. 21, 2021, during the filming of his movie “Rust” at Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Associated Press reported that on Friday, a New Mexico Judge, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer denied Baldwin his request to dismiss the one count of involuntary manslaughter he was charged with.
Prior to that, Baldwin’s attorneys Alex Spiro and Luke Nikas filed a motion in March to dismiss their client’s manslaughter indictment by accusing prosecutors of “unethical disparagement” and of “violating nearly every rule in the book” to secure a grand jury indictment. The motion to dismiss filing read, “The State did not make Baldwin’s witnesses available to testify. Nor did it present the exculpatory and favorable evidence to the grand jury.”

In director Brad Peyton’s Netflix sci-fi action movie, “Atlas,” Jennifer Lopez stars as the titular character, a data analyst who must turn to AI to help save the Earth from an evil robot (Simu Liu).
“I think this movie does a good job of showing how AI could go incredibly wrong, and this is how it could go really right,” Lopez told me at the film’s Los Angeles premiere.
The multi-hyphenate has experienced the exploitative side of AI, with ads “selling skincare that I know nothing about” using manipulated photos of her face covered in “wrinkles.” “It’s really scary,” she said, adding, “Right away we had them stealing our faces. So, yes, [AI] is really scary.”
Lopez further explained, “I think you should be respectful of AI…We have to be open to all possibilities. These movies that are talking about AI — especially this one — do a really...

After months of speculation and heated discussions, Netflix’s brand new sci-fi action movie Atlas starring Jennifer Lopez is finally here, and it’s still pretty much controversial.
Despite being crushed by both critics and viewers, Atlas is having quite a good time as the film was quick to climb to the number one spot in Netflix’s top 10, according to the most recent data from FlixPatrol.
Also starring Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown and Mark Strong, the movie follows Atlas Shepherd, a sophisticated data analyst who has trust issues regarding the newest technologies, especially when it comes to using AI.
Atlas has her own mission to capture the AI terrorist Harlan who, as his interrogated team later reveals, has escaped and is now hiding on another planet. Learning about it, Atlas embarks on a continuous search for Harlan by accompanying the military mission to find and capture the criminal.

A few months ago, Dolly Parton broke her silence on Elle King’s drunken performance at the Grand Ole Opry. King, 34, had constantly faced backlash from country fans and beyond for saying she was “f—ing hammered” during her birthday tribute to Parton at the Grand Ole Opry in January.
King admitted her performance was “f—ing bad” while trying to perform one of Parton’s classics, ‘Marry Me.’ She also made a joke about people expecting her to know the lyrics to the song. “I can barely play another person’s song, let me see if I can play one of mine,” King said.
Fans also fished out a separate video where King was heard telling the crowd that they were not getting their money back.

Review: Jennifer Lopez has been in five films over the last two years, and another, Unstoppable, is still on the way. After her acclaimed 2019 performance in Hustlers, Lopez has starred in two romantic comedies, two action films, and a bizarre music video-slash-biopic monstrosity linked to her latest album. Now, her second Netflix feature in as many years, Atlas, aims to be J.Lo’s Marvel-esque blockbuster but falls short in every conceivable way. Directed by San Andreas helmer Brad Peyton, Atlas is a special effects-laden foray into the most cliched science fiction genre offering I have seen in a long time.

Last summer, Stereotypical Barbie admitted on the dance floor that sometimes she thinks about dying, and in part because of her brutal, relatable honesty, "Barbie" was the biggest hit of the year. Now, Bob the Builder is apparently set to endure the toy company Mattel's next on-screen existential crisis, as star Anthony Ramos says that the movie will follow a version of Bob who has "kind of lost his sense of what it is, to build," per Total Film.
"In the Heights" and "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" star Ramos spoke to Total Film for the magazine's latest print issue, in which he tried to explain the weirdly emotionally complex plot of the upcoming "Bob the Builder" film. The movie was previously described by The Guardian as being about Bob traveling to Puerto Rico, where he "takes on issues affecting the island and digs deeper into what it means to build.

“Bridgerton” Season 3 is here, and with it comes a new collection of string covers of iconic pop songs. The Shondaland Netflix series made a mark with its first season by packing the regency-era period story with string quartet covers of modern pop songs, and the trend continues in the new season that puts the focus on a romance between Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton).
“Bridgerton” Season 3 Part 1 also features the Netflix show’s first-ever original song: “All I Want” is written by Rogét Chahayed (Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More”), Wesley Singerman (Jennifer Lopez’s “Butterfly”), Taylor Dexter (Joji’s “Die for You”) and Nicole Cohen (Meghan Trainor’s “Sensitive”).

Although Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have recently been in conversation allegedly about their troubled marriage, they once made headlines for being one of the most popular couples in Hollywood, especially after showcasing their chemistry in the romantic crime drama, Gigli. Despite the couple being sensational at the time, the film failed at the box office and was heavily panned by critics.

Jennifer Lopez’s recent films in her career have failed to impress fans, with many complaining about the mediocrity of the films she is participating in. Although her performances in her recent films Shotgun Wedding, and The Mother were praised, the films were considered cliche and derivative. Her latest film Atlas may be the weakest film in recent years.

The film has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, with a meager score on Rotten Tomatoes. But it is still far from being her worst as fans will be surprised to know that one of her films with her husband Ben Affleck holds the record for the worst film of her career.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck embarked on a storybook romance almost 20 years after ending their first engagement. Now married, the couple have reportedly hit a rough patch again. While divorce rumors are swirling, neither Lopez nor Affleck are willing to fess up to what is going on inside their marriage. It wouldn’t be the first time they were secretive about a breakup. Let’s take a look back at the end of their original engagement.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s first relationship began on the set of a movie

The couple got together in 2002 following Lopez’s divorce. As a true Hollywood power couple, they were photographed all over Los Angeles and on the red carpet.

A report by Jennifer Lopez’s costar in her new Netlix film, Atlas, indicates that her husband, Ben Affleck, had a hand in helping her navigate a few scenes.
Lopez plays Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence. She joins a mission to capture a renegade AI robot, voiced by Simu Liu. The mission requires the assistance of Smith, another AI robot voiced by Gregory James Cohan
Lopez’s costar, Sterling K. Brown, talked about the interactions between Affleck and Lopez on set in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“Every once in a while, Ben would read the lines for Smith,” Brown said. “And I think the newlyweds, still very much in love, I think she just wanted to hear his voice. And so sometimes, the reactions that you got from her were because she was listening to her husband’s voice.”

Jennifer Lopez took a break from doing blockbuster movies to star in the short-lived cop series Shades of Blue. But after three seasons, she felt it was time to move on from the program.
What Jennifer Lopez thought about her run on TV Jennifer Lopez | James Devaney/Gc Images
Shades of Blue tried offering a different take on the typical police procedural. The television series saw Lopez playing a former dirty cop trying to provide for her family using questionable means. After being caught, Lopez’s dirty cop character would be forced to become an informant.
Speaking with Parade, Lopez shared she had no issue with returning to the world of television. She hadn’t been cast in a long-running show since her In Living Color Days, although she did appear in a few shows every now and then. In the 2010s, Lopez felt it was more than a good time to do TV.

After surviving an attack orchestrated by the rogue synthetic Harlan (Simu Liu), cyber analyst Atlas (Jennifer Lopez) lands in her mech-suit on a mysterious new planet. And it is there that she notices a strange flower, which the artificial intelligence Smith (voiced by Gregory James Cohan) informs her has never been seen before. When Smith asks what she wants to call the flower, Atlas responds with an uncreative name: “Planty.”
Although Atlas insists that she’s making a joke, Smith accepts the name, and Planty returns at the end of the film as a symbol of the bond formed between human and robot. At the same time, this dull bit of nomenclature illustrates the way AI destroys creativity. Which seems an apt metaphor for the movie it’s in.

Atlas is now streaming on Netflix, and the review embargo lifted late last night - shortly before the movie hit the streamer.
Though not always the case, this is usually not a great indicator of quality, and sure enough, the reviews have been pretty dire so far.
The Brad Peyton-directed sci-fi action flick stars Jennifer Lopez as Atlas Shepard, "a woman fighting for humanity in a future where an AI soldier has determined the only way to end war is to end humanity. To out think this rogue AI, Atlas must work with the one thing she fears most — another AI."
The A.I.-centred plot is appropriate, because Atlas feels like it was generated by ChatGPT.
We didn't review the movie in full, but It's basically a hodgepodge of well-worn tropes and ideas that have been executed a lot better in other films, further let down by a by-the-numbers script,...

Atlas Movie Review Rating:

Director: Brad Peyton
Atlas Movie Review(Photo Credit –IMDb)
What’s Good: Some of the action is fun in a cheesy way, and the movie doesn’t know when to hold on to its unhinged energy.
What’s Bad: The acting is awful across the board, and great actors like Sterling K. Brown and Mark Strong are wasted.
Loo Break: You could take a break at any point, and you wouldn’t be missing much, as the film’s twist is just too predictable and there are no action or character moments worth waiting for.
Watch or Not?: This film is an overall pass. There are better offerings out there, especially with Furiosa and Dune still playing in theaters.
Language: English (with subtitles).

It’s been a rather dreadful year for big Netflix original sci-fi films in 2024, and “Atlas,” the big event science-fiction dystopian thriller from director Brad Peyton (2015’s “San Andreas” and “Rampage”), won’t change that narrative in the slightest. Set in a conventionally bleak dystopian future—aren’t they all?— “Atlas” is rote and routine, using the concept of sci-fi and artificial intelligence in the most obvious way: A.I.
