rotten

The film looks impressive on a technical level, but visually it brings very little that feels genuinely new. The effects are polished, yet the spectacle quickly becomes repetitive and, at times, even boring. Unfortunately, the strong visuals cannot compensate for the weak writing. The characters are extremely shallow. I never felt emotionally invested in what happens to them.…

As a big film nerd going into The Creator, i was genuinely excited. I mean come on, its an original Sci-Fi film directed by Gareth Edwards with Greig Fraser as the DOP, who wouldn't love to see that?. But right after finishing the movie i only felt disappointment.…

Movie had a solid start, but got bogged down in the last half. Kind of a waste since it looked pretty cool.

The ensemble cast delivers commendable performances, with standout moments from supporting actors like _**ken watanabe**_, who portrays a father of AI developer, and Madeleine Yuna Voyles, who brings a magnetic presence to the role of Alphie. The chemistry among the cast adds layers to the characters, grounding the film in a relatable human experience amid its futuristic setting.

"The Creator" is a new film directed by Gareth Edwards, whose credits include 2014's "Godzilla" and "Star Wars Story 1". Will his new work go down in the annals of sci-fi cinema in gold? "The Creator" begins with a newsreel informing us that in 2055, a nuclear warhead was detonated in Los Angeles by an artificial intelligence. This prompted the US to ban the use and development of AI.…

A dystopian sci-fi set into 2065 directed, written and produced by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One, 2014's Godzilla) were AI already a part of humany sets a nuke warhead to explode in LA in 2055, causing a world division into the West and New Asia (far Asia and southern asia), were AI robots, humans, ans hybrids cohabit in peace.…

Perhaps the greatest thing this remarkable film brings to the table is value of love and life, over war and death. I am surprised this film was made, in so much, as it shows exactly what the US military industrial complex, stands for. That is callous cruelty, violence, intolerance and death. In a sense then this film could be said to be set in any of the battlefields, in any Asian country, the US has invaded.…

Right, well I was really disappointed with this. It's like a precursor to the "Terminator" films with "Joshua" (John David Washington) charged with tracking down and destroying a super-weapon being devised by the AI that mankind developed to keep it safe, but that turned the tables on us all and now robots are ruling the Earth. Sound familiar?…

The subject of artificial intelligence has been all over the news in recent months, with much of the coverage (save for what’s in the business/finance pages) presented in an often-troubling, cautionary light. So, from this, it’s easy to see how it didn’t take long for this topic to make its way into the world of entertainment, as evidenced in writer-director Gareth Edwards’s latest feature offering.…

The Creator is one of the most visually stunning movies of the year, and created on a relatively modest budget, but the story leaves something to be desired. Or maybe not.

I love it. It's visually stunning. Not just the cinematography itself, but everything you see in the frame: the characters, the real locations, the visual effects (A.I. robots, simulants, the NOMAD, etc.). The acting is great across the board – especially, especially by Ms. Madeleine Yuna Voyles. I have no idea how she did it. I was moved to my core.…
