The best way to describe Canadian director Brad Peyton's ("San Andreas," "Rampage") rousing new sci-fi movie is to say that "Atlas" represents the best video game movie ever made for a video game that doesn't specifically exist.
Well, that's not entirely true for this Netflix gem, which was released last Friday (May 24), because Peyton's futuristic feature integrates deja-vu DNA from video games like "Titanfall," "Mechwarrior," and "Armored Core" — titles all locked and loaded with thundering mechs engaged in heavy metal combat, or "Pacific Rim," the 2013 movie directed by Guillermo del Toro.
