Someone somewhere played Titanfall and thoughtโฆโHuh, an emotional connect between a Mech suit and a human, and the mech suit does everything to protect their pilot and even can destroy itself for the pilotโฆโ - โThat sounds like a brilliant idea for a storyโ. And thus they sat back smoked pot and let their imagination run wild. Action was ok, plot was full of holes. Somehow they made a script which if made correctly you can watch and remember the good old days playing Titanfall.
Then Jenny from the block reads about the movie and says - โhuh, sounds like romantic story between a Robot and a girl! Let me in on that action. I know all about thatโ. Thus missing the point completely and making the movie that has no soul. Simu liu as a Droid killing acting was believable though. At the end of the movie I felt like destroying my tablet. So kudos.
Mark strong was Mark strong, but didn't have a lot to do so, thats kinda sad.
There you have it - ATLAS.
