Whether she’s ready or not, Jennifer Lopez is entering the war to save humanity in Atlas, the upcoming sci-fi action film from Netflix.

In a new video from Netflix, Lopez’s Atlas Shepherd is talking with Colonel Elias Banks (Sterling K. Brown) when a bomb explodes on their ship. During the fiery chaos, Banks places Atlas in an AI-powered robot suit. Atlas does not know how to use the suit, to which Banks says, “Let’s hope you’re a quick learner.” Atlas’ suit detaches from the ship and she’s in freefalls as the preview ends.

Lopez stars as Atlas, a gifted data analyst with a severe distrust of AI. After her ship comes under attack, Atlas must join a mission to capture a rebellious robot from her past. “When plans go awry, her only hope of saving humanity from AI is to trust it,” the Netflix logline reads.

Besides Lopez and Brown, Atlas also stars Simu Liu as Harlan, Mark Strong as General Jake Booth, Lana Parrilla as Val Shepherd, and Gregory James Cohan as the voice of Smith.

Atlas is directed by Brad Peyton from a script by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite. Peyton is best known for directing Rampage, San Andreas, and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Producers include Lopez, Peyton, Jeff Fierson, Joby Harold, Tory Tunnell, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Benny Medina, Greg Berlanti, and Sarah Schechter.

Lopes is looking for her second consecutive hit on Netflix after 2023’s The Mother. In The Mother, Lopez plays an elite assassin who comes out of hiding to protect her estranged daughter (Lucy Paez). The Mother is one of the most popular movies on Netflix, ranking eighth on the streamer’s all-time top 10 for English films.

Atlas streams exclusively on Netflix starting May 24, 2024.

A war begins in the new trailer for Dune: Part Two
Timothée Chalamet in "Dune: Part Two."

By splitting Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel Dune into two parts, director Denis Villeneuve delayed the introduction of the story's primary villain: The Emperor of the Universe, Shaddam IV (Christopher Walken). But in the newly released trailer for Dune: Part Two, viewers finally get their first glimpse at the man who plotted the downfall of House Atreides. House Harkonnen may have struck the blow against their rival house, but Shaddam IV allowed it because he feared that the late Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac) would unseat him. But the Emperor has badly miscalculated, because Leto's son, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), is now poised to make Shaddam IV's fears into a reality.

netflix underrated movies watch june 28 30 2024 unbroken 3

Emotions are running high in America. No, I'm not talking about politics; I'm talking about Inside Out 2. The Pixar animated movie about the inner life of a pre-teen's emotions has reigned supreme in June, grossing so much ,money that it's already on the list of the 10 most successful animated movies ever.

Not everyone is interested in that movie, or another Bad Boys sequel, or even The Bikeriders. There are those who prefer to stay home and see what's on Netflix. But instead of watching the dreadful Jessica Alba action flick Trigger Warning, try these three older movies that are almost as good, if not better, than what you can find at the movie theater.
