Atlas

Better than expected! I saw one or two still images from <em>'Atlas'</em> in the lead up to watching it and I wasn't getting good vibes. Happily, I actually really enjoyed this 2024 movie - another reason to not judge a book by its cover and all that. Of course, it is nothing near perfection and has a couple of issues, e.g. a slightly overlong run time and an underwhelming villain, though overall I liked this. I do tend to enjoy seeing Jennifer Lopez, looking at the films I've viewed her in (nine titles with this one) she hasn't let me down yet; this is another showing worth watching, in my eyes at least. As noted, elsewhere Simu Liu's antagonist is forgettable. That isn't all his fault, his performance could've perhaps been better but it's more so the way the character is made to act visually that facilitates the dullness. I'd recommend this, though a quick look around on the usual movie sites suggests that isn't a commonly held belief. <em>*shrugs*</em>

Somehow this is the worst JLO movie of the year. No stars or review for this terrible, terrible movie.
