The Magnificent Seven

While not on the level of the film which inspired it, The Magnificent Seven amps up the humor to provide one of the most beloved Hollywood westerns which itself has been remade, adapted, and repackaged in TV and movies ranging from Three Amigos to Ocean’s Eleven. Adapting Seven Samurai to the Old West, we get an outlaw leader terrorizing a small village just south of the border. Heading north to buy guns, instead the three villagers return with seven gunmen to fight off Calvera’s (Eli Wallach) men.

Bad Boys

1995 answered the question of whether or not two black television stars could launch a successful franchise built largely on action sequences and recycled themes and plots from the genre. The film was a commercial success earning back more than three times its budget domestically and quite a bit more overseas and spawned three sequels over the next three decades. Whether or not these two can eventually make a good movie together is still a question that nearly 30 years later has yet to be answered.

Atlas

Born from tales of robots rising up against their creators explored in countless science fiction novels and films over decades, Atlas is a lacking entry in the genre that offers so little in terms of original ideas one begins to wonder if the script might have been AI generated. Set in a distant future where AI have risen up against humanity we then jump to an even more distant future where humans are hunting the AI leader having escaped them decades prior.
