Jennifer Lopez 17%-Rated Sci-Fi Movie Continues Netflix’s Worst Trend Possible

With all of its growing popularity among the world’s viewers, Netflix is still not having the best times right now as its biggest premieres turned out to be the streaming’s biggest disasters ever seen.

It all started even back in 2023, when Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire hit the platform in December, and now it seems like Netflix’s highly anticipated flicks are jeopardized by the epic space opera franchise’s curse.

Though Snyder’s flops sank into oblivion as soon as they left the streaming’s top 10 chart, their fate is nonetheless repeated by a brand new sci-fi movie that, despite its reign in the top chart, appears to be even worse.

Netflix’s biggest releases this year didn’t have much luck with critics or even viewers, though they still made it to the streaming’s top. Starting with last year’s Rebel Moon – Part One that landed miserable scores of 21% and 57% on Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix’s next big flick, a dark fantasy movie Damsel starring Millie Bobby Brown, didn’t get a much better position ending up with 57% and 60% scores.

Then it was time for Zack Snyder’s next installment, Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, and with all the expectations for this movie to make it up to the first part failure, the second part failed even more, earning only 15% and 49% from critics and viewers respectively.

Now that Snyder’s flops are no longer in Netflix’s top 10 (and they were very quick to leave it), the streaming’s new sci-fi drama Atlas, starring Jennifer Lopez, seems to be continuing Netflix’s disheartening trend, as the movie climbs to the number one spot on the top 10 chart, even with miserable scores of 17% and 52%.

Though Netflix’s recent big premieres confirm the streaming’s weird tendency for the movies to thrive in the top 10 chart even after being completely crushed by critics and viewers, it still comes as a sort of lifeline for those who failed to impress the professionals.

While such flicks usually don’t hold their number one position for too long, being gone in a couple of weeks, they still get a chance for their prime which, obviously, wouldn’t last for months anyway.
