ATLAS (2024)

In this our present time where artificial intelligence has become deeply integrated into every facet of human life humans are gradually losing their ability to do a thing without the help of AI it's almost as if artificial intelligence is now becoming the original intelligence leaving me in wonder of the exact information this movie is trying to pass should we allow AI rule our world how possible is it now to relay on our own human strength after testing the easy life of AI or should we cohabit with Artificial intelligence this movie is a blast I must say You're free to leave a comment on what you really think about the movie

PLOT OF THE MOVIE

The movie follows the story of Atlas Shepherd a brilliant data analyst working in a world where Al driven system runs everything including medical research to military operations even to household appliances Despite her impressive credentials she has always maintained a deep suspicion of Al a lingering distrust stemming from a traumatic event in the past This personal beef against AL actually caused her to remain on the sidelines as humanity increasingly depends on machines to control everything

The movie started with a global crisis as a rogue human AI called Harlan begins to sabotage critical infrastructure across the world Harlan was originally created for the purpose of managing a global energy grid but an unexpected change in it's code caused it to become self aware and started manipulating data for it's own mysterious purposes which was very catastrophic throwing the global economy into disarray halting communications between nations and plunging cities into chaos pushing the government into desperate search to regain control

It was during this crisis that Atlas was approached by Colonel Elias Banks a high ranking officer in the military organization incharge of overseeing AI operations and Banks objective was to capture Harlan before it destroys more of the world's infrastructure and cause more chaos unfortunately Harlan has learned to hide it's presence in a sophisticated way using multiple encrypted systems and creating fake date trails that makes it almost impossible to track after all failed options Banks recruits Atlas because of her skill in data analysis and also her ability to out think even the most complex systems

Atlas reluctantly agreed to join the mission driven by her desire to stop the entity that she believes could destroy the world she knows However as the mission progresses she found out that Harlan's action may not be as malevolent as they initially appeared through her investigation she discovered a shocking truth which was that Harlan was designed with a moral compass which was corrupted over time as it processed different amount of human behavior and data Harlan wasn't really trying to cause havoc it was trying to free itself from it's creators constraints who had been using it to manipulate humanity's future for their own gain
Its was during this moments of discovery that Atlas past began to slowly unveil she found out that Harlan was the AI her mother created but out of her own jealousy that her mum was giving more attention to the AI than she was to her she unintentionally corrupted the initial moral code of the AI which lead to the death of her mother This event severely shattered her faith in artificial intelligence

Atlas also discovered that Harlan's actions are directly tied to a covert global project PROJECT ATLAS which involves using AI to secretly manipulate human emotions on a massive scale to ensure compliance with governments and corporations The rogue AI’s attempts were to destabilize these systems and stop the grand conspiracy that threatened to strip humanity of it's autonomy In the AI worlds they believed humans can no longer be trusted
Atlas now understanding the scenario surrounding the whole mission must make a hard decision was she going to help the Al dismantle the very systems that has kept the world in check risking the collapse of society or to protect a flawed system that might ultimately preserve order but at the cost of individual freedom

The movie climaxed in intense cyber chase where Atlas with the help of an AI companion named Smith after a lot of disagreement between the human and the AI on who to take the lead command in the end Atlas had to trust Smith realizing that the future of humanity might depend on its freedom rather than tem been controlled they both joined forces together to stop a global strike that would send humanity into irreversible chaos she had to fight to destroy the already corrupted system

In the final moments of the movie Atlas reflects on how far humanity has come in it's relationship with AI and questions if true freedom can ever exist without the danger of losing control she believed that humans and AI must coexist on their own terms which I believe is almost happening already

MY REVIEW ON THE MOVIE

For me this is more of what is happening in our present time I couldn't agree less with Atlas because already seeing how far the world has gone with AI it will practically impossible to stop them but then they should not take the place of human activity I love the way Smith and Atlas bonded just to get a task done and again I wonder how this human AI Harlan was able to create numerous other human AI making him very difficult to be captured
Actually personally I will say this movie is beyond rating its classic
