Netflix's 'Atlas' Flops Despite $100M Budget and Star Power

TL;DR Summary
Netflix's latest sci-fi film, Atlas, starring Jennifer Lopez, has been critically panned, earning only a 17% approval score on Rotten Tomatoes. The $100 million production has been criticized for its overuse of CGI, clichéd storytelling, and lackluster script. This continues a trend of big-budget Netflix films failing to impress critics. New Netflix film head Dan Lin aims to shift the platform's strategy towards producing fewer, higher-quality films, potentially moving away from costly sci-fi spectacles.
