  • Deception (30%)
    The author expresses her personal opinion about the movie being 'an easy watch that shouldn't be taken seriously.' This is a form of editorializing and an example of selective reporting as she only reports on positive aspects of the movie while ignoring negative criticisms. The article also contains emotional manipulation through phrases like 'the reviews are just as shocking as the movie's AI,' which creates a sense of intrigue and excitement without providing any factual basis.

  • Fallacies (75%)
    The author makes an appeal to the audience's emotions by stating that 'Atlas is an easy watch that shouldn’t be taken seriously'. This is a form of informal fallacy known as an appeal to emotion. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe the reviews as 'shocking' and state that the movie has a 'very low' score on Rotten Tomatoes, implying that it is a failure without providing any context about what constitutes a 'low' score or how it compares to other movies. However, these fallacies do not significantly impact the overall quality of the article.
    • ][The author] The reviews are pretty negative, and it sits at around 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, obviously very low for a big-budget Netflix original.[/]
    • [[]The movie currently sits at around 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, obviously very low for a big-budget Netflix original.[
  • Bias (90%)
    The author expresses a neutral opinion towards the movie 'Atlas' in the beginning, but later on, she encourages readers to give the movie a chance despite its low critical score. This can be seen as an attempt to sway readers into having a more positive view of the movie, which could be considered monetary bias as she may benefit financially if more people watch it.
    • However, even though the score is low and the reviews are pretty negative, I don’t want to completely bash this movie.
      • You can stream Atlas on Netflix now.

        • Jennifer Lopez plays Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst on a mission to capture a rebellious robot named Harlan
        • The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world where robots have destroyed humanity
      • Deception (30%)
        The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author focuses on the romantic aspect of the movie, implying that it is the main theme despite it not being explicitly stated in the title or synopsis. She also uses phrases like 'J.Lo rom-com' and 'learning to love again' to appeal to readers who are fans of Jennifer Lopez and romantic movies. Additionally, she criticizes the movie for its lack of human love interest while ignoring the fact that there is a relationship between Atlas and Smith, which is central to the plot.
        • The robot war is mere pretext for the saga of a woman learning to love again
        • Atlas takes time to reveal its true self. The first act plays like a glossier ripoff of Aliens, but Atlas insists on taking the mission fully analog.
        • As the danger around them intensifies, so does their connection. Atlas and Smith inch closer to 100% synchronization.
        • But there’s something oddly relatable, even romantic about its hope that healing one’s heart might be the first step in saving the world.
      • Fallacies (80%)
        The author makes an appeal to the reader's emotions by describing Atlas as a J.Lo rom-com in shiny metal packaging and comparing Harlan to a toxic ex. She also uses inflammatory rhetoric when she describes Atlas as 'mediocre' and the film as 'awfully tiny'. However, these fallacies do not significantly impact the overall content of the article.
        • ]The star plays a data analyst forced to team up with an AI robot in order to prevent an apocalypse orchestrated by a different AI robot in Brad Peyton’s film co-starring Sterling K. Brown.[/...]
        • But Blade Runner this isn’t, and not just because its tepid script and uninspired visuals place Atlas within the ever-expanding box of Netflix movies best half-watched on planes.
        • The robot war is mere pretext for the saga of a woman learning to love again, starring a celebrity whose public persona is largely built around her willingness to let herself love again.
        • Atlas and Smith press on with their original mission to neutralize Harlan, under relentless attack from his forces. But long stretches of the two-hour run time see Atlas alone in her suit with only Smith for company. She lets her guard down bit by bit, opening up about her childhood and engaging in friendly-ish debate about what counts as life.
        • He plays the role of the new beau who heroically teaches Atlas that it’s safe to love again.
        • For a futuristic, planet-hopping adventure, Atlas feels awfully tiny; as a romance (minus the actual romance), it treads no new emotional terrain.
      • Bias (95%)
        The author expresses a dismissive attitude towards the sci-fi genre and the film's premise, implying that it is inferior to a romantic comedy. She also uses derogatory language such as 'mediocre' and 'shiny metal packaging' to describe the film. These statements demonstrate a bias against science fiction.

              The article contains some editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses her opinion that the notion of an 'A.I. terrorist' is queasily plausible due to the widespread use of A.I., but she does not provide any evidence or facts to support this claim beyond her own perspective.
              • Science fiction often earns its place in memory by envisioning something new and startling – but with ‘Atlas,’ we’ve seen it all before.
              • The notion of an 'A.I. terrorist,' as in Brad Peyton’s new sci-fi action movie ‘Atlas,’ seems queasily plausible.
