Netflix recently revealed its new sci-fi movie, Atlas, with a full trailer showcasing mechas, rogue AIs, and lots of shooting. The film bears a striking resemblance to EA’s black sheep, Titanfall, causing fans to draw comparisons between the two—and it ended just as you’d imagine.
The bulk of the discussion is happening on Reddit, where an April 24 thread was uploaded and highlighted how Atlas oddly resembles the shooter franchise. “Tell me I’m wrong,” said the user who started the discussion. The replies range from being critical of the acting, which is very run-of-the-mill (as is the show’s rogue AI theme), to being outright hostile to the show altogether and very, very defensive of Titanfall. “Yikes, [this] looks awful,” one user wrote.
