Netflix's Atlas 2024 is a story written by Aron Eli Coleite and Leo Sardarian. The movie shows the audience the good and bad sides of artificial intelligence, which many of us are dependent on in our daily lives.

The official logline of the movie reads -

"Atlas Shepherd, a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.”

The sci-fi thriller had a large budget, which was evident by the use of powerful visual effects and an impressive star cast, but the movie wasn't well-received by critics as the flick received a 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 5.7 rating on IMDB. However, audiences may see the action-packed sci-fi and make their own opinions about it.
