Tania Hussain is the Executive Editor of Television at Collider responsible for creative, editorial, and managerial duties. In addition to leading content ideation and development, she works to generate innovative and compelling ideas for feature articles and reviews with her editorial team.

The Big Picture Remember the hysteria of Y2K and how we were told to shut off our computers at midnight on New Year’s Eve, 1999, in fear of a digital apocalypse? The thought of our trusty desktops rebelling against us was once considered a legitimate worry as we were concerned about an uprising pulling us into the Dark Ages. But fast-forward to today and the dread surrounding technology has grown exponentially with the increased presence of artificial intelligence.

Naturally, this is where Atlas comes in — a brilliant but misanthropic counter-terrorist analyst for the International Coalition of Nations with a profound distrust of A.I. and a deep contempt for her “brother,” Harlan. She lives pretty comfortably in a George Jetson life seen outside her window, wears Tom Ford glasses , listens to Chopin, and always beats the computer at chess. But she is also deeply distrusting of all robots because of her marred history with Harlan.

Lopez, who has given us some of her best work in roles like Out of Sight and Hustlers is not vibing well with the film at all. As a longtime fan and someone who appreciates her taking on a challenge in a diverse filmography, there are times you can feel the actress’s unease permeate through the, often green, screen. You can see Lopez is struggling in scenes when talking to the A.I. Smith and while her discomfort can be pegged to character traits, it’s not convincing enough of a performance.
