  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. To counter against this threat US military develops a suborbital station called USS NOMAD (North American Orbital Mobile Aerospace Defense). The movie moves around John David Washington as Sergeant Joshua Taylor, that haves a prosthetic robotic arm and leg lost in the nuclear explosion. Back then he involved himself with an asiatic woman called Maya (Gemma Chan), that the learns to be the one called Nirmata (Creator) the founder of the AI of New Asia, through the daughter that they had together, a robotic simulant called Alphie that possesses powers toward machines. The positive: the visual both at scenes, characters or settings are just EXPLENDID, well done CG - just imagine Rogue One, but into this Asiatic setting that mixtures basic living and hi tech. All this was done with $80 million (box office: $101.8 million) a low budget compared to most of todays movies. The visual effects were provided by Industrial Light & Magic, SDFX Studios, Yannix, Virtuos, Weta Workshop Folks VFX, MARZ, Misc Studios, Fin Design + Effects, Outpost VFX, Lekker VFX, Crafty Apes, Jellyfish Pictures, Proof, Territory Studio, Atomic Arts and VFX Los Angeles are top notch, and surely must have an indication for an Academy Award. The negative: thought it have a good base to work with, the story is just too weak - the inspirations from "Blade Runner' and 'Apocalypse Now', with a bit of "Avatar" thought other movies, just turned to be too shallow and predicable and we don't engage so much with the characters till the very near end. It's just...isn't developed enough. At some moments it even reminded me of "Elysium". Don't be fooled by the names cited here, they just shows what could be done. The music is by Hans ZImmer - good, but not outstanding, and the cinematography by Greig Fraser (Dune) and Oren Soffer are good, but outshined by the visual effects. The movie had a great potential, but was broke in the ain point, the story. But I consider that it is something to be watched because of the digital effects and production, as a basic that no movie must cost more than $ 100 million to have stellar visuals. For me the score is 6,0 out of 10,0 / B - C+. The stars are for visual effects only.

  "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. However, not every country approaches AI in the same way. In Asia, AI is not banned. Fifteen years later, the military is on the hunt for Nirmata, the mysterious creator of artificial intelligence, who has now developed a new weapon that could turn the situation against America. Sergeant Joshua Taylor (John David Washington) is sent to the Republic of New Asia in search of Nirmata and the weapon, but is more eager to find his lost love Maya (Gemma Chan). Accompanied by soldiers, he finds neither Maya nor weapons - only a 'simulant' (the most advanced form of AI) in the form of a child with unique powers. Despite his hatred of AI - his family were killed in the LA explosion - Joshua has no choice but to pair up with this young girl, whom he calls Alphie, in the hope that she will lead him to his beloved Maya. Watching The Creator, if you have experienced sci-fi cinema before, you will quite often have a sense of déjà vu, as the filmmakers have stitched together elements from numerous previous works of the genre. You will therefore find the spectre of plot ideas from such productions as Blade Runner, Akira, The Terminator, District 9 and even Apocalypse Now, Leon the Professional and Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line. And these are just a few examples. At the same time, the authors of "The Creator" have managed to put these elements together in such a skilful way that the whole is an independent, original achievement, although every now and then it is reminiscent of its great predecessors. What we have here is a war with AI, road cinema, the story of a chosen one who is to save the world, or at least change the fate of the conflict. In the background, tragic love. Along the way, there is no armchair-pressing twist waiting for us, so 'The Maker' is, for all intents and purposes, a basically predictable work. But also fresh enough to hold the viewer's interest. At least in theory. The visuals are excellent (although too many of the spectacle scenes were shot in the dark - a constant problem for Hollywood, which thus solves the problem of costly fine-tuning of CGI effects). Edwards and the team have created a world of the near future that looks realistic. The action is largely set in Asia, which also adds to the exoticism of the whole thing and takes us away from the standard sci-fi cinema images. There's a kind of visual poetry and sensibility in 'The Creator' that you don't often find in this genre of cinema (and watching it on big IMAX screens, if you have the opportunity, only enhances this). The problem begins, however, when we get to the script. Because skilfully piecing together a script from classic sci-fi tropes (and more) is one thing, but creating an engaging and full-blooded story out of it all is another. I, unfortunately, did not find great layers of emotion in The Creator, although the filmmakers were clearly trying to emotionally engage the viewer. I am sorry to say that I did not care about the fate of the main character. The problem lies partly in the script, but also partly in John David Washington himself, who plays him. Denzel's son may not be a bad actor, but he doesn't have even half the charisma of his father, on top of which his roles so far have been waspish every time, even when his characters weren't meant to be that way at all. I don't believe him when I see him concerned, scared, angry, loving. For me, he's an actor fit to play cold mercenaries in war films. There is a kind of indifference, an absence in his gaze. On top of this, the heart and soul of 'The Creator', as I understand it, was supposed to be in the forming relationship between Joshua and Alpha, but unfortunately I found it hard to believe in the emerging bond between them, as it was presented unconvincingly, rather rushed and a bit more along the lines that the viewer is just supposed to believe at some point that the two have taken a liking to each other, although we don't really see on screen when this happened or why. Also, the finale, while most impressive, feels chaotic, rushed and not entirely satisfying. Other than that it was easily predictable.

  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.

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

  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. This movie from start to finish seemed hellbent on making the most safe and cliched choices possible leading to a lot of unearned and/or hollow emotional moments. The visuals are obviously amazing. Edwards, Fraser, Seffer and their teams deserve huge credit for creating amazing imagery and worlds that would put 200-300 million blockbusters to shame. But no matter how amazing these visuals were, its generic plot and mediocre action barely thrilled and just dragged on and on and on. I honestly would have forgiven the script if the action setpieces were as good as the visuals, but most of the action just felt too generic and every time i felt that the action was finally building up to something tight or gripping, the scene just suddenly ends. Cockblocking its audience of any thrills. So by the end i just felt empty and bored. There was nothing really memorable about the movie other than the visual world it created. It even cut the robot side kick that we see in the trailer. Like damn bro, where are my cool CQC robots??. There was just too much wasted potential here, and it just saddens me to say that The Creator to me was just a huge letdown. If you want to watch John David Washington kicking ass i highly recommend Tenet. Not only was he way more charismastic in it, but it also has great action, story, and a goddamn satisfying ending.

  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. The background of the war between humans and AI is barely explained; crucial information is dropped in single lines without any real context. Major questions remain unanswered. For example, how can the human forces function without AI while waging a massive war against it? The film simply ignores such basic world-building issues. The story also avoids the political implications of its premise. The United States is apparently conducting large-scale military operations in Asia to eliminate AI, yet the global reaction is never addressed. Instead, the film relies heavily on sentimental scenes with the “simulants,” portrayed mainly as suffering victims rather than as intelligent entities. Many design choices feel illogical. Simulants have a huge hole in their heads so the audience can recognize them, even though the story claims they are meant to resemble humans. Other elements—like the oddly visible targeting systems or the walking bomb robot—seem created purely for dramatic effect rather than believable storytelling. In the end, the movie focuses almost entirely on visuals and emotional manipulation while neglecting coherent ideas or logical world-building.
