The Creator - Movie Review 

she came to our theater in SD and held a private screening. She was super nice and sweet and so was her family.

Dude she was awful I didn’t feel a single thing the whole movie

​@@BankaiFevernot as awful as you

​@@BankaiFevershe's like 6, chill. Guarantee you were picking boogers and eating rocks at 6

@@BankaiFever That's do to the movie not her really. Didn't even know it's a she, i kept seeing the robot parts and seeing an it.

Agree this movie should make mini tv series . There so much missing plot , movie try to made me feel sad but i can't attach to any of char so i don't feel anything when some of them die

Definitely need more sequels to this

It doesn’t need to be a show, it just needed to be a better thought out movie. Taken more time for direction.

It looked pretty but it made no sense...

It's GREAT, if you leave your brain off. The moment you start thinking or asking questions the fkn thing falls apart from the get-go.

she wont allow us to turn her off!

Damn they gotta feel old enough bro XD

That's 14 years! I've been following since I was 19 and now I'm 30

I'm in this comment and I don't like it

Same here, 13 - 27 🤘🏻 been watching angry Joe since the old mystery guitar man Ray William Johnson days 🙏

same, it's just so crazy to see how far they came.

I bet they recycled a lot of cgi from Rogue One and that kept their budget low. It seemed to feel like that.

There's so many flaws of logic in this thing I'm not sure where to start. Solid experience, but the script, the story... Damn.

@@4Everlast100% my feeling. Cool concept but the characters made the worst decisions I’ve ever seen

It's better than rogue one, but still not great

@@olivernewton8584 Did we see the same movie? There's at least 60+ issues with the logic of the plot, plot holes, geographically it's terribly unclear. But yes, it is fun.

There can be only one King Kong😅

Did we watch the same movie?! This one actually had him emoting, made a huge contrast to him in Tenet

It's familiar territory in terms of plot, I agree. But as long as it's well-executed, I can forgive that.

so "low" budget they couldn't let the writers do their job, but it's a weird bar to call this budget anything but exorbitant

Reminds me of how flash cost more than this to make lmao.

It's low budget? Bro the visuals were heavenly

@@nathanlevesque7812for the type of movie it’s a low budget.

I mean the first one she ran think about the adrenaline probably thought she got hit by a bullet and kept running thinking she was safe

There are multiple non-remake movies released every week. You're just not going to the theaters to watch those movies... The movies aren't the problem, you are...

@@jorssu13well said

I don’t like going out to theatres. Worst fucking way to experience a movie. Phones, talking, laughing, coughing and bullshit. Why would anyone pay to experience that?

What about Barbie? The best and most powerful movie made in this century! It has got a strong message and a well put lesson for men to understand. The best movies are all provocative, and has a well thought out story and undeniable interpertation of the world. The movie is, in contrast to every other movie ever made, for once pro women AND men. It touches on the difficulties that all females face all of the time in real life, while also describing how all men behave towards women. The nice guys are not the good guys, just like in real life. Every man needs to learn from this fantastic movie, to become better humans, female supporters and even companions to women who still think that men are needed in their life. What I really like about the movie is how it doesn't force anything down your throat, it's just a lens magnifying what is already there. Every female can relate to the film because they are suppressed and marginalized, while all men needs to take on this way of thinking as well because society has made them all rotten to the core. Hopefully the success of the film will show all these men in suits that women is now the largest audience, and that they crave intelligent movies rather than mindless action and sex scenes for reptile brains. No more will movies only be made for men who only want to watch women in exposed positions, they will have to be satisfied with what they see in real life to get their anti-women fix instead. But this future will be different, and men will find themselves on the bottom of society - looking up on women who built the world that they have taken for granted for all this time. It's important that every voice is heard, so the future must listen to women and ignore all boys only wanting to quiet them!

Didn't happen with me, don't let people prevent you from enjoying things

The original cut was 5+ hours long, so you may get your wish some day.

Some people are beyond any logic or being in reality.

You are clearly outside of reality. This movie has objectively bad writing for the story and world building. You are flat out ignoring reality

⁠​⁠@@craziedzombielmao what is wrong with you? you take their enjoyment of the movie so personally🗿

@@craziedzombieWait until you find out that movies aren’t reality. It’s going to be a strange day for you indeed.

Completely agree Snider visual story telling and esthetics are top tier. Dawn of the dead was good because James Gunn was the one who wrote it.

Except Snyder sucks

Idk wtf people are on or what they even watched when they say this. He didn't write godzilla or rogue one, which I like but both of those films were far more disjointed and emotionally hollow than this (largely due to studio rewrites). So if anything this proves he should be in the writers room more.

Some tend to overlook the director can look over the writing of a movie and get final say Aside from that all of his movies feel the same lacking in the same areas Godzilla i barely different then his first monster movie none of which are that good

Couldn’t agree more!

thanks for the warning. ya it sounded like they started talking about stuff they shouldn’t have. they really need to be careful

Not really though

they always do that, I hate it. I only watch the first 30 seconds then I go to where they give a rating. I usually comeback after I've seen the movie.

@@fillezzo I will never understand people like you.

@@bonjy3701 Whats so hard to understand? I don't want to hear spoilers, even though they call it none spoilers section there is always spoilers.

Yeah. It was my thinking too. Seemed like a way of SCANNING the area in front of the troops. But turned out to be an oversized laser sight which had to point exactly below the ship. How does it work for the bombing of remote or multiple areas? Unexplained. It didn't even need to be on for so much time, especially for the covert operations. Sadly, pure cool visuals. I lost it when a new-asian village being a known target just went to sleep when the weapon of doom just hovered there in the sky, wasting zero energy doing so by the way.

Amen. Everyone behaved like an idiot too. Oh, there's a giant gunship hovering above us? - let's escape by boat, which provides literally zero cover for the obviously imminent missile strike. And when the cops show up and they just weren't looking at the target so somehow missed the missiles being launched skyward, and then we're blown up in total surprise 3 seconds later. How are they all so blind?! Like, the invasion team is trying to be sneaky, but has a huge scanning laser beam right behind it. Dumb af. Also, the tone insanely fluctuated. For example they were hung up on no swearing or visible blood, in order to attain a lower age rating, but in the very same scene where they said "he says to make love to your mother" just to avoid saying fuck, one of the characters is about to literally cut someone's face off to get through the face unlock mechanism (which is again dumb af btw). Gareth Edwards is a visual wizard (or at least knows how to work incredibly well with them), but he's not good at telling a story, unfortunately.

Not using tropes is impossible, using them right and packaging them in a way you will notice them less, that's were the skill is

Yeah like the cliche Disney fake our death trope, the evil lifeless corporation trope, the someone is running away yell out their name and don't chase after them immediately trope, the cute animal do crazy destructive thing trope which happened like two times in this, also the multiple plot armour tropes on the main character, let's all point our guns at him after he killed half of our group trope, also the countless tropes that the kid can use their AI abilities where at first it was just an emp and then it can grant them tickets to the moon and then steer and aircraft Deus ex machina trope, maybe there was a story explanation for those but I stopped paying attention by that point

which movie doesn't have tropes in it?

Thats an insult to AI

Ya, it blows my mind how The Flash had apparently a 300 million dollar budget and was criticized for terrible visual effects whereas this was made for $220 million less and looks incredible. They could almost make three more of these movies compared to another Flash movie.

People keep saying this and im wondering if you guys left early before that sadistic creepy smile at the end its very clear that they were tricking humanity

the scene when Josh was in the scrapyard and hearing the AI bot scream once it turned back on was great scene, but the way the actress reacted to it was so cringe and ruined the moment. "omg wat was that it was like real mannn, that was a like real person with feelingssss". I exaggerate a bit, but god dang it took the immersion right out. Did we have to see her say what we already felt, such a ruined moment

@@citizengen more like a bladerunner rip-off

@@austinsavage5962wtf you mean?

@@marcusaaronliaogo9158 i dont even remember now its been like a week and i dont remember anything from this movie

Looks GREAT. But... The weak script shows it's ugly head at every corner. The lazy "explanations" fort things as well. It's style over substance, but solid fun and great cinema experience.

100%

I agree a refreshing change from Marvels oversaturation. I get Marveled out pretty quick now a days

A big issue I noticed, the only way they show emotion is through close-ups on a character's sad look, sometimes with the bonus single tear on the cheek. Nothing is ever subtle or suggested. Anyway I could not identify with the characters because I barely know them. The flashbacks with his wife on the beach are again not subtle. It's a cliché of the perfect couple living in a picturesque place but besides "they are in love", we know nothing about them as people. It's even worse for the soldiers as they are defined by being in the military and that's it. Always talking loud, never tired, it's comical really. The budget for half of the explosions should have been used to hire good writers.

@@maxpstlI really feel like they should’ve added Neil Blomkamp to the writing team, even though this film is on-par with Blomkamp’s movies (particularly District 9), what the film lacks is a lot of the human emotion that is abscent from Blomkamp’s movies like Gran Turismo and District 9 and no criticism to Gareth at all, I think the world he created in this movie is solid, it just lacked a lot of the human emotion that is present throughout this movie

Ah damn haha, that was better than coding error

As a programmer I can understand it can be a coding error. There was that coding error that confused imperial with metric and caused a spacecraft to crash.

How do we know that the ai robot is not lying?

Maybe, the bond made sense in my opinion given that he had lost his own child, and we later find out Alfie was literally his child. So some deeper biological connection was implied from the beginning. We also see the progression of him fighting for humanity at first, then him having apathy for humans after his wife was murdered, until finally he sided with AI towards the end.

Jeremy has good taste.

I agree it just didn't reach the heights of a truly great film.

Ye a 6/10, had potential to be a lot better

The dog returning the grenade was pretty funny tho

😅I see what they mean though. Star Wars was always about adventure and fun and not heady cerebral sci fi, so cartoony here stands out way more. But now I wish I got a different ending involving Purgills lol

Size of those tanks 😂

Dune budget: 165 millions$ Oppenheimer budget: 100 millions$ The creator budget: 80 millions$ For a sci-fi movie, 80millions is not that much at all.

if you only look at the 0.5% of movies that cost the most sure@@nighthrashchannel8627

This movie was 10x more entertaining than Oppenheimer…. And Oppenheimer was my number 1 movie of the year before this.

Oh this was 100x better than Dune! The actors in this brought much more to the screen than Dune did and it looked so epic, especially in IMAX.

​@@Napski_😂 I really doubt it

Same here !

"I don't even care" - I guess, just keep consuming without questioning then ... good for you.

You should care.

I just think with a two hour runtime they fit everything they needed to to make a cohesive story without sequel baiting or trying to turn this thing into some sort of franchise. Which I can totally respect so when I say I don’t care I mean that I don’t care that they had to cut back on certain elements to keep things moving. Could they have spent less time on action scenes sure and knowing Gareth Edwards im sure a lot more was shot but cut out for time. But also what’s the point of wasting time doing exposition dump scenes and a ton of world building for a one and done sci fi action flick. So yea I I guess I’ll continue to consume trash and love it.

@@WhyDoINeedOneOfThese in every aspect of, thoroughly or completely. Nah I think I got it down pat thanks anyways.

I don't mind that moment cause it makes me question was that REALLY what happened or if is it just propaganda that they tell themselves. Cause in real life both sides of a conflict will tell themselves whatever makes them feel like the hero in this story.

@@citizengeneither way this won’t be a classic

Sad that this movie was not that good, but a contender for "one of the better films of the year"

The man’s wife was dead 5 years he should have just moved on, instead he got all his friends killed trying to bring her back lol

My favorite thing was them burning a robot on a pyre which is one of the dumbest things I've seen someone do in a movie. Like it's a robot. An AI wouldn't view it as anything more than a shell. They would scrap it for parts to build more robots not light a bonfire around it which wouldn't even be hot enough to do anything more than blacken the metal.

You seem to forget how the AI robots showed actual intelligence , emotion and attachment to their human "brothers and sisters" how could you even compare them to toasters and microwaves ???

You can't shame me into accepting atrocious writing. @@maxim196

like what ?

​@@maxim196 From the beginning it is built on plot holes that are never answered and we are supposed to go along with unnamed assumptions such as robots having emotions but sometimes not, robots being harmful but sometimes not, or the main character having some unsaid need to betray his country because of a robotic kid that has powers that make appearances whenever convenient. Character arcs and changes in perspective feel completely unearned. Emotional moments evoke no emotions. Even with that, could I at least enjoy some cool sci-fi action? Not really. It feels mostly tame and surface-level. Part of it is the annoying limitations with PG-13 movies, avoiding all violence even with death all over the place. But it's more that the action isn't creative or... intimate? Shooting scenes are just a bunch of bullets flying everywhere (with terrible aim). And throw in explosions every now and then. It looked beautiful though ngl

@@maxim196 Or why do robots smoke weed and eat ice cream? Why do they pay robot couriers or work as couriers? Why does the protagonist hide behind civilians twice during the film to break through? Until his death, the hero is unable to cope with the loss of his wife and child, and is tied to a machine simulating his child, and in the finale he sacrifices himself for nothing. If Nomad is capable of destroying all AI bases at the same time, why is the order given only when the station is threatened with destruction? Why did the squad even enter the laboratory at the beginning of the film, why was it not immediately destroyed by Nomad’s missile, given that all this time they could track Maya’s ring? How can robots evolve further if all their human creators are dead, and Alpha is the only one of her kind and does not have any knowledge to develop this technology? How can you blame a machine for a missile attack instead of its creator? It's like blaming the frying pan for your food burning. Why is it that in this movie all white actors play the villains and all the people of color play the good guys? How does the destruction of Nomad change the course of the war? Asia doesn’t even have a normal army, there are some partisans in huts and police bots. If Nomad took ten years to build, what’s stopping USA from building another Nomad in another 10 years? I can go on, this movie seems to consist of separate good ideas, but they just don’t fit together.

@@vi8799what’s wild is your comment doesn’t even explain all the plot holes. there are still so many more you could list 😂

John David Washington was the only dude who could lead them to the AI lab and they ultimately ended up seeing a girl look at a wooden doll which they turned to open a hatch. I almost laughed at that part.

None of the pieces were there if you did some research about ai. Nothing hold true. You can tell the ones in charge of the movie didn't bother doing basic research.

​@@nyrva2876what's "basic research" to you?

The movie was okay. I didn’t hate it or like it. The story felt like it was missing some character building and reused ideas.

I found it bizarre they never mentioned a moon base until they were boarding a shuttle to the moon lol. They could have completely left out the return to LA, and instead brought them straight up to the Jonas.

@@jackmurphy4913when they took off from LA the Nomad was in the air but when they docked it was over China lol

Terminator 2 is way better than this... This movie is about a poor version of skynet that hides, is afraid and weaker than humans... Total BS.

I agree. The first half was fantastic, but the second started to get kind of wild

Same here and I saw The Creator today. I strongly recommend it despite it's flaws. The editing and storytelling is odd at points but it's still a thrill ride and visually incredible!

same I enjoyed it except for still don't understand one part at the beginning

You probably will, rogue one does have the benefit of the background of a new hope to give some much needed context that this movie doesn’t have unfortunately

It’s Rogue Two

Could it better. That dog and robots looking for heads hahah

I didn’t understand anything about the nomad. What made it so special? Didn’t it just shoot missiles? Why can’t they just build ten more?

I think It's perfectly logical if you've paid attention. The problem is that it's REALLY subtle, involves multiple blink-and-you-miss-it moments, and your attention is never explicitly drawn to it. Here's where you blinked: SPOILERS NOMAD is a space station, and EVERYONE is walking around on it. Not only that but everyone on the shuttle is walking around, too. You might put this down to bad writing/directing, and you would be right to if you didn't blink elsewhere in the film. Like the part where Joshua exited the shuttle into the low-gravity environment of the NOMAD's exterior surface. MOST of the land vehicles in the film are wheeled but a handful of them are hovercraft, as are some of the boats. They have anti-gravity tech. This is proved when characters are able to go underneath a hovercraft without so much as a breeze, let alone, y'know, getting squashed by the force of repulse-lift tech. I don't think this is bad writing or bad directing, it looks like the kind of editing issue that can crop up when you're cutting something down for time, and from what I've heard the first cut of this film was 5 hours long. "We don't need that 1second cutaway, nobody is geeky enough to notice and complain that we didn't explain a minor world-building detail that has no real impact on the plot." "Wait, Gareth, didn't you direct a Star Wars movie that one time? Are you sure nobody will notice?" "Star Wars fans don't know what they want, this isn't Star Wars, and it's the Producer's decision not mine. Yeah... I better get off Social Media for a while."

@@TonyCox1351 Because it took a decade and trillions of dollars to build a space station without the aid of AI (but with the caveat of unexplained SPOILERS).

@@sokar_rostau Why would you need to spend trillions of dollars? The NOMAD was basically a blimp that fired cruise missiles. You dont need antigravity to do that.

Then you clearly do not know what is actually good writing. So bat shit insane to ignore reality and objectively bad writing.

Saw the movie last night. Its worth watching but the third act is messy and rushed. Would love to see an extended version for this film.

Yeah. Better than Mellow Alex Show. Bro's whole personality is "I am depressed 24/7"

That one was great

And that single dude charges across the open with nothing but a pistol. Why didn’t that tank have 500 troops in it? It was gigantic

Because this is about AI. So, instead of a sympathetic low tech society vs an antagonistic high tech society, its a sympathetic high tech society vs an antagonistic high tech society. Very different. Or at least it would be if the AI weren't basically just humans.

Haha honestly their review doesn't really make sense, they made fun of the movies logical inconsistencies the entire review and then gave it a 6-7/10 at the end

Wow. You realise you’re the reason we can only get remakes and sequels.

I agree. It was a masterpiece in my opinion.

Id have to watch the film again to clarify, but I don't think the nukes were all around the globe. It would have been all over Asia or New Asia as they set up in the film. As if I remember correctly it's set up as the US vs New Asia.

Thank you. I was starting to think I was in the minority here or everyone else is a bot.

​@dvmorgan most people are stupid, hence they don't mind

Exactly. 4 feels generous, but I can't justify a 3. Garbage bad writing. Good acting. Visually nice.

THANK YOU. I felt the same way. And stopping to think about the world this movie takes place in for even a few minutes makes NO sense. I usually can turn off my brain to enjoy dumb movies, but this was so bad I just couldn't get into it.

I absolutely agree, I checked out by the half way point because of the multiple times things wouldn't make any sense deliberate things that weren't considered in the script, it's a cool world but if your movie is hollow it's just a shell
