With "Atlas," Netflix is clearly embracing bombastic summer spectacle in the vein of Amazon's "The Tomorrow War." That is, 'original' sci-fi flicks with hefty production budgets and killer casts to make up for the pastiche of well-trodden ideas. After 20th Century Studios' stunningly-crafted "The Creator" bombed in theaters last year, maybe these should be released via streaming for the foreseeable future.
After a ho-hum "Atlas" teaser (beyond the striking visuals) released for Brad Peyton's Atlas – which has an interesting cast to say the least – Netflix has put the pedal to the metal in the official trailer for the upcoming sci-fi action-adventure movie.
