Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.Disclosure – I paid for the Netflix service that viewed this film.

Oh, Poor Atlas, Why Must A.I. Be Challenged?

Humanity’s distrust of artificial intelligence is lightly examined in Atlas, a movie that’s more about a woman bearing this name. She’s a data analyst and to say she hates robots is the least of her problems. Jennifer Lopez not only is the lead but also one of three producers hopeful that this A-lister can become the next Linda Hamilton. When this tale had its version of Terminator’s Judgment…

The VelociPastor (2017

You can’t make a movie that’s “so bad it’s good” on purpose. The VelociPastor proves it. Even at a mere 75 minutes, this horror comedy overstays its welcome.

After witnessing his parents die in a car fire, Pastor Doug Jones (Gregory James Cohan) briefly vacations in China. There, he receives a velociraptor claw from a dying woman. Now, whenever Jones becomes angry, he transforms into a dinosaur. He’s convinced he should try to remove this curse but Carol (Alyssa Kempinski), a hooker he saved while in his scaly form, thinks otherwise.

Other than the pun in its title, The VelociPastor has very little going for it. At first, you might chuckle at the premise and the wooden performances. As soon as the movie shows you it doesn’t even have the budget for lousy special effects, you'll realize this won't be the cult classic you were hoping for and shut it off. Instead of showing us the fire that kills Father Doug Jones’ parents, writer/director Brendan Steere has the text “VFX of Fire” appear over an empty street. To people who haven’t seen movies that are so bad they’re good, this sounds hysterical. Anyone with any experience with the ironic art form will know better. This is someone trying to cover up the fact that they don’t have the resources to make a good movie and aren’t even willing to try.

The problem with The VelociPastor is that without giving it too much thought, you could write a better movie. What if Pastor Doug gave a fiery sermon in front of his congregation and suddenly began changing? How would he hide his claws as he hands out communion? What if he faced an existential crisis because previously, he believed the Earth was only 3,000 years old? How about a scene in which he watches Jurassic Park for pointers on how to stalk the villains that prowl the streets? Maybe at one point, said villains chase him into a museum and he has to hide among animatronic dinosaurs! What about an important seminar he absolutely can’t miss that requires him to stuff the trademark velociraptor claw into normal shoes and tape his tail to his leg? What sort of hijinks do we get, if not these? None! In fact, the velociraptor barely appears in this movie and when it does, you’ll pray for death. Facing people who know you’ve sat through this film is too heavy a cross to bear. The dinosaur costume is clearly some generic Halloween disguise someone picked up on November 1st for 50% off because the crotch was torn. It looks shabby and you never see it do anything interesting. As for the gore - when you get any - it's little more than red fruit juice sprayed all over the actors.

It’s obvious no one working on this project cared. There are several scenes whose punchlines are so tired, lame and predictable they aren’t the least bit funny. In fact, they kind of make you mad. "This is the best you could come up with? Another pointless scene that wastes our time even more than the rest of the film, which is itself a colossal waste of time? Please Lord, just tell me we’re nearly at the end." You take a look at your watch. You’ve got another 45 minutes to go. This is a movie so dull it’s a battle to stay awake.

At best, The VelociPastor is a broken clock comedy - it manages to make you laugh/smile despite being broken and useless almost every minute of every hour of every day. At worst, it’s so cheap and lazy it insults your intelligence. You can’t make a cult film on purpose. I wasn’t looking for high art or deep meaning when I sat down with this film but I expected it to be fun. The only people who could enjoy The VelociPastor have their names in the end credits.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez: a cooperative dynamic on the Atlas set

Overview

In the movie business, the junction of personal and professional ties may result in interesting team projects. The new disclosures about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship on the Atlas set clearly how this is happening. Their dynamic not only emphasises the quality of their relationship but also clarifies the special ways in which personal relationships may affect creative performances.

Atlas: Ben Affleck's subdued support

The voice of a husband: improving performance via emotional connection.

Lopez's co-star in Atlas, Sterling K. Brown, offered intriguing analysis of how Affleck's presence on set was very essential for Lopez's performance. Brown claims Affleck sometimes read lines for another character, Smith, which Atlas Shepherd, the character, would react to. This apparently little process of reading lines had great effects on how Lopez portrayed Atlas. Hearing her husband's voice helped Lopez to access a deeper emotional reservoir, therefore giving her character's responses depth and passion.

This strategy is evidence of the strong connection Lopez and Affleck share. A uncommon trait is the capacity to leverage personal ties to improve professional production; it seems that Lopez and Affleck have perfected this equilibrium. Their cooperation transcends the screen to provide a synergy enhancing Atlas's story.

An Evolution of Cooperation Based on Common Experiences

Affleck's participation in Atlas is not one-off occurrence. Working on a variety of projects like Gigli, Air, and the forthcoming This Is Me...Now: A Love Story, the pair has a history of collaborating. Every one of these projects has helped them to improve their working relationship and learn how to use their personal connection to produce unforgettable movie scenes.

Atlas clearly shows this joint past. Years of working together have helped to build trust and understanding that enables a flawless relationship on stage. The comfort and confidence Affleck's presence gives Lopez will surely help her to create a subtle performance.

Atlas Shepherd: A Complex Character in a Technological Landscape Jennifer Lopez

The Function of Atlas Shepherd: Navigating Trust in an AI Dominated World

Jennifer Lopez's character in Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst battling a deep-seated mistrust of artificial intelligence, is This section shows her flexibility as a performer, so deviating from her past work. Driven by a mix of emotional pain and professional uncertainty, Atlas's character is multifarious and Lopez deftly negotiates this.

Atlas's trip in the movie is a personal search to overcome her misgivings and mistrust of technology as much as a mission to catch a rogue AI robot. Inspired by her husband's subdued support, Lopez's portrayal captures the complexity of this inner conflict, hence rendering Atlas a relevant and engaging figure.

The goal is a high-stakes fight against rogue artificial intelligence.

Simu Liu's portrayal of a high-stakes expedition to apprehend a renegade artificial intelligence robot drives Atlas's story. Together with Smith, another AI robot voiced by Gregory James Cohan, Atlas Shepherd has to negotiate this dangerous environment. The story of the movie investigates the complexity of human-AI contact, confidence, and the moral conundrums artificial intelligence presents in contemporary society.

The way Lopez presents Atlas Shepherd is essential for capturing the ideas of the movie. The story revolves on her character's mistrust of artificial intelligence, and Lopez gives her portrayal a clear tension that captures the general fears about technology in the modern society.

In essence, a special fusion of professional and personal brilliance.

The joint work of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck on Atlas is evidence of the special ways in which personal relationships could improve business activities. As Sterling K. Brown notes, their chemistry on set gives the movie more emotional depth and realism. Affleck's subdued backing enhances Lopez's portrayal of Atlas Shepherd, hence producing a performance that is both forceful and delicate.

It is evident as Lopez negotiates difficult parts like Atlas that her capacity to draw on her personal life—especially her connection with Affleck—will always be a distinguishing aspect in her career. In the field of films, Atlas is a wonderful illustration of how personal and professional spheres could collide to produce something rather remarkable.

cold chill down my spine watching the trailer for that ass-lookin jlo netflix movie thinking "that robot voice...i know it...who is that?" only to end up screaming full volume in my living room because it's Gregory James Cohan, who plays the fucking Velocipastor

[2013venjix]

This was damn good from the storyline, the VFX, to the intense action sequences. JLO (surprisingly) & Gregory James Cohan delivered strong performances.

This film has given me Pacfic Rim, I Robot, Flight Of The Navigator & mostly, TitanFall vibes. A keeper for Sci-fi mechas!

9/10!

The VelociPastor (2018) dir. Brendan Steere

[loracarol]

not to be a white lady obsessing over Generic White Boy # 3423 but the guy playing the VelociPastor is kinda cute tbh?

and I hope he’s in more things, including the spiritual sequel:

Outback Dracula — which the filmmaker says is a "spiritual sequel" to The VelociPastor — shifts the madness to 1880s Australia, where a psychic, lesbian schoolteacher teams up with the world's greatest adventurer to find her missing girlfriend and to defeat Dracula and his Golden Army of the Undead.
