Atlas (2024): A Titanfall Prequel Plot Could’ve Saved This Movie

🎬 Welcome back to We're Too Literary! 🎬

Why would a General in future Earth's military enlist the help of an untrained analyst to stop the biggest A.I. threat humanity has ever encountered??

It's moments like these that had us questioning everything about Netflix's new original Sci-Fi movie, Atlas.

In this episode, we dive deep into the layers of this sci-fi spectacle, critiquing everything from plot holes to bizarre character choices. Jonathan and Kenny dissect the movie's lack of coherence, its campy moments reminiscent of a 90s B-movie, and the wildly inconsistent use of AI technology. We weigh in on Jennifer Lopez's performance and the Arc suits that seem inspired by Titanfall Titans and Pacific Rim Jaegers. Hell, one type of Titan in Titanfall is called an Atlas-class Titan! They couldn't have been more on the nose.

Trust us; our suggestions for a Titanfall-inspired prequel might just be the redemption arc Atlas needs.

From analyzing the A.I. motivations to discussing why any analyst would lead a defense team, we leave no stone unturned. Tune in for a hilarious and critical breakdown, where we imagine better character development and more sensible plotlines. If you've ever shaken your head at a movie and thought, "I could write that better," this episode is for you.
