Netflix has secured the top position in the streaming charts with its new film, “Atlas”. Amazon Prime Video, which previously dominated with titles like “Catch the Killer”, “Operation Fortune”, and “Breaking Surface”, now faces stiff competition.
In the recent weeks, Amazon Prime Video managed to hold its ground against direct rivals such as Netflix, WOW, and Disney+. However, the release of “Atlas” has changed the game. This brand-new Netflix film has surged to the top of the German film streaming charts immediately after its release.
“Atlas” is a Sci-Fi action-adventure that features Jennifer Lopez as Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst who joins a team to hunt down a rogue robot named Harlan. Harlan’s mission is to annihilate humanity. During a mission on an alien planet, Atlas’s only hope for survival is an AI robot named Smith, whom she must collaborate with to stop Harlan. Atlas, who is skeptical of artificial intelligence, finds this partnership challenging and fraught with difficulties.
Is “Atlas” a Netflix Flop?
Despite its success in reaching the top of the German streaming charts and garnering a significant number of viewers, “Atlas” appears to be a disappointment for Netflix. The film’s IMDb rating stands at 5.7, indicating mixed reviews from viewers.
Critics have been particularly harsh on “Atlas”. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film has only managed to secure a 17 percent rating from film experts. However, the audience score is somewhat better, currently sitting at 54 percent.
The success of “Atlas” in the streaming charts highlights the fierce competition in the streaming industry and the challenges faced by platforms in maintaining viewer satisfaction. While Netflix has achieved a momentary victory with “Atlas”, the mixed reviews suggest that not all viewers are thrilled with the latest addition to the streaming giant’s catalog.
