Atlas (2024) review

In this unpleasant futuristic scenario (they're rarely good), artificial intelligence has "bypassed" built-in "security protocols" and a humanoid named Harlan (Simu Liu) has become the first A.I. terrorist who, after killing millions, manages to escape Earth - close to thirty years later, counterterrorist expert Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez) is asked to accompany a team of rangers to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy and capture him alive.  This is exclusively designed for the Millennial Gamer crowd with the mech-suits and "upgradable weapons" - Peyton supposedly admitted he was inspired by the Titanfall series (although I'm sure Armored Core and MechWarrior played a part too) - and J.Lo. does her best having long conversations with on-board computer program "Smith" (voiced by Gregory James Cohan), except it really hammers at the "trauma" angle: Atlas has to overcome a veritable mountain of personal baggage (her mother was a programmer, Harlan was a childhood companion) to properly "sync" with her machine.  For every minute of "action" there's another fifteen of dialogue and flashbacks - I can't imagine a gaming enthusiast, if he/she had a controller, not mashing buttons to get back to the "final boss fight" in which a sword grows out of Harlan's hand, "Smith" gets slashed to pieces (but "survives") and "trust" in new technology is "restored": Mark Zuckerberg approves.
