Seeing Atlas starring Jennifer Lopez pop up on Netflix doesn't necessarily leave you with a lot of hope that it's going to be a good movie, but I surprisingly liked it much more than I expected.

It may not start off particularly strong, but it gets going and I feel Jennifer Lopez did a better job acting than I expected, and I do remember her doing fairly well at times, like in Out of Sight.

Anyway, it really gets going after about 20-30 minutes, and the action is very well done in my opinion and fun to watch. Think Halo but even more action at it's best. She doesn't trust AI but slowly learns to trust the AI she is forced to work with and develops a bond that grows throughout, and I enjoyed that.

I think many Netflix movies get unfairly rated poorly and of course anything starring JLo will as well. As usual, it wouldn't surprise me if the very low ratings came from people who didn't even watch it. I really don't feel if I was going to give something a 4 or lower, I would even continuing watching it and didn't feel I could give a fair review (unless I was in a theater with friends or family and had to sit through a movie I hated).

Anyway, if you like action and sci fi, and go in for some fun not expecting some masterpiece, I think you will definitely be entertained.

Probably worth an 8.5 or so, but the first few episodes took a bit to really get me totally engrossed. But then it REALLY picked up and got a lot more interesting, especially when it had a great unexpected turn a few episodes later. Definitely a very solid drama out of Greece worth checking out. I do agree it could have been tightened up a bit into maybe 10 episodes but overall it was solid and kept getting better and better. I felt the acting was pretty solid and it had a number of interesting characters. I am so glad Topic brings us so much content from different countries I otherwise never would have heard of.

Season 2 was one of the most entertaining Netflix Original seasons ever. I struggle to think of a better one. Fast paced, GREAT fight scenes, so many great characters, and just doesn't really have any down time where it gets boring as many shows do. It just entertains from the very start to the very end. To think of something as good or better from Netflix, I may have to go all back to my all time favorite, Sense8. There are some other good ones, like Witcher season 2 and some others but it's hard to remember something this entertaining. Arcane was good, but not this good. This is definitely a must watch.
