Next up on the agenda is Jennifer Lopez, who is set to star in another film. This time, she's taking on the genre of science fiction in a movie that has been heavily criticized for its supposed "AI propaganda."
The trailer for Atlas, which was recently released by Netflix, features JLo in the lead role as a data analyst who has a strong distrust of AI. She finds herself teaming up with an AI named Harlan, played by Simu Liu, in order to take down a rogue robot. Alongside JLo, the film also features Sterling K. Brown, Abraham Popoola, and Mark Strong.
While the concept of humans having to rely on the technology they created is not a new one in the world of sci-fi, there is something about this particular movie that has rubbed fans the wrong way. Some have even gone as far as to label it as a blatant attempt by Netflix to convince viewers that AI is not something to be feared, following criticism the streaming platform received for using AI in a documentary.
One fan on Twitter wrote, "Why do I feel like this movie is just Netflix trying to convince us that AI is actually cool and we should embrace it?" Another user joked that they felt like they had already seen the entire movie just from watching the two and a half minute trailer.
Despite the criticism, there are some who are looking forward to seeing the film and have a more positive view on its potential. One user praised the trailer for perfectly summarizing the story in just over two minutes, while another jokingly commented that they felt like they had already watched the whole movie.
However, there are also those who have not been impressed with the trailer, with some calling it a "stinker" and "terrible." But there are still fans who are excited to see JLo branching out into the world of sci-fi, especially with the recent release of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon franchise on Netflix.
Jennifer has recently starred in the semi-autobiographical movie This Is Me... Now, which received mixed reviews from viewers. The companion documentary has also become a joke among internet users thanks to viral clips. But love it or hate it, Atlas is set to arrive on Netflix on May 24.
