Jennifer Lopez’new movie, Atlasis taking fans to a dark and violent future full of battle mechs, flying vehicles, sprawling cities, and explosions.
In a brutal and thrilling teaser for the upcoming sci-fi action epic – which was released on Wednesday morning – Lopez’s Atlas Shepherd barely survives a crash landing in what appears to be a robotic suit of armor, leaving her bloodied and desperate for help.
From the brief glimpses of the glittering metropolis and towering, violent robots, it appears that the future portrayed in this universe is bleak and on the brink of disaster.
With what appears to be a series of different nefarious agents and shadowy figures plotting and planning the fate of the world (played by the likes of Barbie star Simu Liu, American FictionSterling K. Brown and Kingsman star Mark Strong), the teaser explains that “the future of humanity is in your hands.”
According to Netflix’s official press release, Lopez’s Atlas Shepherd is “a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence.”
“(Shepherd) joins the mission to capture a renegade robot with whom he shares a mysterious past,” explains the synopsis. “But when plans go awry, your only hope of saving humanity’s future from AI is to trust it.”
Successful filmmaker Brad Peyton – who has directed Dawn, Fury It is San Andreas – directed the science fiction epic from a script written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite.
Atlas is set to premiere on Netflix in May. Watch the trailer below.
