Not to add fuel to the J-Lo hate-train that's been running wild this past year, but she was so thoroughly out of her element in Netflix's recent sci-fi dud Atlas.
Though Lopez has proven herself a solidly capable performer in both drama and comedy roles over the years - certainly for the standards of musicians-turned-actors - it's extremely tough to buy her as a misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of AI in this movie.
Granted, the script makes little attempt to take advantage of Lopez's innate charisma or physical athleticism, but it's painfully clear throughout that this lead role would've been better played by literally hundreds of A and B-list actresses who seem a little less out-of-place in a sci-fi action flick.
This isn't to say that J-Lo can't thrive in the action arena, but nothing about this film made her seem like a natural fit for it.
