We're extremely torn on THE CREATOR, a visually dazzling sci-fi epic that ultimately feels recycled and empty. Director and co-writer Gareth Edwards ("Rogue One") offers some compelling world-building, but this futuristic tale of the war between humans and artificial intelligence grows increasingly frustrating and full of familiar tropes. And the timing is accidentally awkward given the recent Writers Guild strike over the use of AI. Christy and Alonso have a spoiler-free review and we'd love to hear your thoughts. Starring John David Washington, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Allison Janney, Gemma Chan and Ken Watanabe. In theaters now.

I agree with you completely about the movie. The script doesn't explore the themes that it brings up. Ken Watanabe's AI character makes an offhand comment towards the end of the movie about the nature of the war that isn't explored at all but it raises so many questions. Emotionally it didn't connect the way that it should have. But it does look great.

@AllInTheGame01 8 месяцев назад

Given Gareth Edwards's background in VFX & Production Design, it's not a surprise that this movie like his other movies looks incredible, but his achilles heel as a director will always be the script as in this instance co-writer Chris Weitz is more miss than hit as a writer, would love to see him paired with a very strong screenwriter!

@chazharris 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, don't really understand why he didn't choose a different collaborator (or why the producers didn't insist) for what's meant to be a movie to prove himself after getting rewritten/re-shot on Rogue One.

@GTCCreviews 8 месяцев назад

I feel like these are common criticisms across most sci fi epics, making them objectively niche. With this one, I felt like it has a lot to unpack and it isn't as surface level for general audiences to connect with. It's a fragment in time in It's own world - how we precieve the messaging and state of said world will dictate how we ultimately feel about it. I loved it.

@realmikewebb 8 месяцев назад

I took my mother with me to a sneak preview of this on Wednesday, and we both agreed it looked beautiful but were conflicted with the overall story (much to like your guys’s review). I like nods to the films of Kurosawa, Spielberg, and sci-fi spectacles like Blade Runner and Star Wars, but I found the story all too familiar yet convoluted, and the characters contrived. Also, it only cost $80 million to make, which is insane. It looked like something that would cost north of $200 million.

@janechoy2073 8 месяцев назад

I saw an advance screening of the movie. I'm in awe of what gareth edwards did both in terms of the scale of VFX work given small budget on top of an original worldbuilding. Story itself is not perfect, but the the craft, the acting, the cinematography, the special effects more than compensate. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this on the big screen and I recommend everyone to see - especially those people who complain that hollywood hasn't made anything original or interesting in the last 20 years. well - this is one great example!

@BreakfastAllDay 8 месяцев назад

Oh it's incredible to look at for sure!

@0214Bub 8 месяцев назад

I was really psyched for this movie based mostly on just how stunning the visuals looked in the previews. It actually turned out to be a lot different than I expected. Ulimately I kind of with you guys it starts strong, loses its way, and rushes the ending. The other thing is there are a lot of holes in the plot. For example, and I don't think I'm giving anything away, the sims keep pointing out they cannot harm humans, but as you can see even in the previews they have guns and are engaging humans in battle.

@JaythanRodriguez 8 месяцев назад

I don't think they initiated the violence, but rather were defending the humans that saw them as equals. I'm not big on robotics philosophy, but one of the big laws is that robots cannot harm humans or through inaction allow a human to be harmed. They seemed to be operating to prevent humans being harmed.

Saw it last night and… agree wholeheartedly w/ your review. I want to love this film, it’s gorgeous. But the writing/directing/editing has… issues. That being said while I get your scores, I’d personally rate it a bit higher based on the visuals and world building & suspect I’ll revisit it once in a while. I would be very keen to see a longer cut to see if it rectified enough of the issues. For anybody curious about seeing it, it’s worth seeing in a theatre. Man I want to love it… but I just can’t. I’m very curious to find out how Gareth made this on $80mil… 🤯

I just got out of an IMAX screening of it only about 17 of us but I enjoyed it. I didn't love it but I did really enjoy it. My only real complaint is that it feels too long. I'm not entirely sure what the message was but it was obvious that it had to say there's more to AI than meets the eye.

Hate needle drops in my futuristic sci-fi movies. ALWAYS takes me out of the worldbuilding. Chris Bumbray of JoBlo nailed it "the Hans Zimmer score isn’t given enough of a focus in the movie’s first half, with Edwards using a few too many needle drops."

@musicmann1967 8 месяцев назад

I find it very interesting how the very points that turned you guys off were read very differently by other critics who praised them. Like loving John David Washington's arc, and really loving the emotionality, etc. I'm seeing it today, and I wonder where I'll land in that discussion. I'm really into seeing some eye candy in IMAX, no matter what else happens. The visuals look really beautiful, with an incredible sense of scale, much like Dune. (And that's just me seeing it in the trailer on my computer!! lol)

@mark2graves-movies689 8 месяцев назад

I thought this movie needed about 10 minutes or so of flashbacks building his love for his unborn child to help us believe his dedication to Alphie. It also felt like there was some missing scenes near the end. Particularly at the temple. Despite this, I thought this movie is top 5 for movies in the genre "computers/robots/AI fight humans". I thought it was very good.

@JaythanRodriguez 8 месяцев назад

I really didn't see it as as much as a sci Fi movie, but rather more of a political one. Although they used imagery of Vietnam, it was more akin to the wars in the Middle East after 911 and the US' quest for revenge. The hit all the beats of the war on terror, but as AI as the enemy.

@alphacause 8 месяцев назад

I understand the film has problems. However, there hasn't been any decent *large* scale sci-fi content, with the exception of Dune, in quite sometime now, and I am yearning for anything sci-fi related, that is of a grand scope. Its just such a welcomed reprieve from the glut of superhero content we have been bombarded with the past 10 years. So its problems notwithstanding, I will shell out the money to see this in the theaters, just to support content like this being made as an alternative to Marvel and DC.

@C_M_R 8 месяцев назад

The movie has strong ideas -- but never follows through with most of them. While actively watching this movie, I was questioning whether or not John David Washington is a good actor -- the actor playing Alphie was acting circles around him ... and she was 8(?). But, it does look gorgeous.

@El_oh7199 8 месяцев назад

Gareth Edwards makes beautiful looking sci fi films with seamless FX, but he has yet to make something that doenst send me to snoozeville. He's so dedicated to a real world aesthetician that he renders sci fi worlds mundane. There's no wonder or joy in his stories. His characters are always sapped of real energy, life, or personality. Like Rogue One before it The Creator somehow makes robots/droids/AI more compelling than the humans. The 3rd act, as rushed as it was had more verve and urgency than the 90 or so minutes that preceded it. It almost saved the movie for me.

@keng4847 8 месяцев назад

Why would NOW be a particularly bad time to make a message movie saying "AI" is a great thing, we should all embrace it"? Has there been some recent AI-caused catastrophe that I missed?

@keng4847 8 месяцев назад

The writer's strike? The fact that AI-written scripts were a big issue in that strike? If so it would seem that the concept of whether AI is good or bad and whether we should embrace it reaches beyond, and is more complicated, than the issue of using AI software to write a movie. While the news in Hollywood concerning AI might be "all bad" recently, deeply philosophical, ethical questions don't really just revolve around what goes on in Hollywood. Wouldn't much of this movie have already been made, or well into production prior to the writer's strike? And if so, then also a good bit of money invested in it. Do they have to shelve its release for a good while because there was a writer's strike?

They rushed the wrong things! That said, it is the most gorgeous and lived-in/textural big budget spectacle I’ve seen in a long time.

@amandarose4469 8 месяцев назад

You know what I hate about film critics, you are all so jaded about movies. To me the tropes were not tired and worn out, yes some were familiar but not everyone has seen Platoon and Apocalypse Now. Given the time constrains I do believe they developped the relationship between Joshua and Alphie, because they built the relationship between him and Maya and as soon as the reveal happened it was easy to see him transfering that love to Alphie. Also with AI being good, why not. Originally the AI little girl was suspose to be evil, using her form to bequile the viewer, but thats just Second Varient. What would have been more on the nose if they turned to the cameras and were all like see, AI bad and is taking our jobs. Truthfully we dont know what the relationship humanity will have with AI, so having AI.monks that respect life, well that was a nice thought.

@Stephen_Lafferty 8 месяцев назад

Perhaps it is a result of the Writers' strike and the SAG-AFTRA strike but I hadn't heard of this film until yesterday, and no trailers were suggested to me through social media. Perhaps the AI passed over me? Now that I have found and watched the trailers, I think that the film looks like a MidJourney/Dall*E remix of Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, A.I., Oblivion, and T2/Aliens.

@BreakfastAllDay 8 месяцев назад

Lots of Blade Runner here for sure.

@d.r.martin6301 8 месяцев назад

You may well be correct that The Creator drops the narrative ball in the last half. The Rotten Tomato score seems to indicate so. But there should be some recognition of Edwards' ability to put together a $200 million-looking movie for $80 million. He has provided a template for Hollywood to repent of its profligate ways and create blockbusters at sensible costs. The Creator may yet prove to be a hugely influential film.

"They don't lay the emotional groundwork." This is ubiquitous in mainstream genre movies and tv now. It feels like the obsession with visuals has de-emphasized storytelling. I don't know if writers have gotten lazy or producers think scripts don't matter. But there is a lot of incoherent nonsense out there with incredibly high production values.

Ha ha, yes we certainly did get the trailer a LOT over this last couple of months. New movies come out on Wednesdays here in France and I rushed out to the very first screening at 10.30 in the morning, and me, well I was not disappointed at all ... I was swept along and thoroughly enjoyed it, enough to not care about whether the theme actually merits my emotional involvement because the performances of John David Washington and Madeleine Yuna Voyles totally did that for me!! Yeah the ending lost me a bit too but because it went on too long I felt, and I agree somehow didn't quite earn it. But great movie nonetheless, I'll certainly go see it again in a couple of weeks!!

@schmoab 8 месяцев назад

I enjoyed the movie and I’m happy they made a big budget sci-fi flic that isn’t based on a franchise. It felt an awful lot like Rogue One with a lot of CHAPPIE or District 9 thrown in. The thing is that they sort of conflate AI, which is a centralized system with robots who act independently. I wish they paid more attention to this difference. Also why are there grandma robots? Anyway it’s a 7 and totally worth seeing in a theater compared to most of what I’ve seen this year.

@EpicFurious 8 месяцев назад

lol That review went about as I expected. Just saw it myself, and while it is not the knockout that I had hoped it would be, I felt it was still an incredibly well done film that handled those tropes in an interesting enough way that always kept me invested. Combine that with the new gold standard in visual effects and two pretty great lead performances and I walked out wanting to immediately watch the film again. 8/10

I’m seeing it tomorrow. I guess it’s good I’ve never seen Baby Yoda in anything but memes. The trailer alone just about brings me to tears, so I find it difficult to believe the emotional groundwork isn’t there. Might it not be there narratively speaking, but instead there in the unspoken nuances of the performances? I’ve definitely seen films where that’s the case. Bad timing or not, aren’t we meant to consider what the film is doing? Just because we’re being told by even the developers of AI that it’s bad news, isn’t the film telling what may be a likelier truth? That it is - like human beings - what it chooses to be? How can a film be arguing entirely for the benignity of artificial intelligence when a sentient AI has committed such an act of terrorism at the heart of it?

I imagine that this maybe more of a 'me' gripe but I felt like this version of AI is such a wierd, outmoded one - The one where AI is developed alongside robotics to produce inefficient human replicas in a vacuum of tech advancements.

If not for the visuals I would have walked out. I flat out thought the fundamentals of the story were dumb and simplistic. Three young guys left, I think out of boredom. I don’t think this movie will do well.

Honestly "The Reluctant Shepard" would have been way more original and thoughtful title to lead with imo then, The Creator.😅 Never once pulled me in, in fact, the opposite. This whole review sounds like an example of high concept, Low execution, or rather the opposite: High execution given the visuals you mentioned, and low concept simply because of the failed emotional depth and recycled themes the script offers. Washington is gifted but I smell Hollywood nepotism given his repeated ability to get cast in these albeit high minded, large scale sci-fi blockbusters, that never seem to deliver box office wise. I would prefer to see him develop an oeuvre of an old school, character actors-Character actor. Scripts rich in depth and humanity, rather whatever his agent continues to advise haha

Enjoy your Marvel/DC and Star Wars movies throughout the future. Audiences and critics are the biggest hypocrites in the movie and gaming media. I want to hear any more complaints. You made your bed now sleep in it.

Unfortunately, JD Washington and the kid aren't that charismatic. Washington's monotone acting chops can't quite carry a film yet (remember Tenet?). BUT, I'm a SciFi nerd and will see it in my support for the genre.

Mixed feelings. I feel like movies based on IP are sometimes better than original sci-fi. This was depressing, too violent and not great. Perhaps we should find a different way besides our money to have Hollywood make better original movies. Right now, I am fine with all the movies based on existing IP because they sometimes are better than the original movies we get.

Thank you for saying that. So many people are claiming it's "original" when it's clearly derivitive of a billion other movies. I've seen so many comments deriding the audience as hypocrites for not supporting this movie and throwing shade on blockbuster IPs. People like what they like and want what they want. We don't want this movie because, visuals aside, its not a good movie. A

No one can make big expensive blockbuster movies as boring as Edwards. He actually made a Godzilla movie boring. That's how skilled he is at it. Give me a free ticket for this movie and i don't have anything else to do and i'll watch it. But there is no way i'm paying anything to watch a Gareth Edwards movie.

Gareth Edwards just doesn't have it. Godzilla, Rogue One, and this, it's always the same with his story telling. Gorgeous, really impressive visuals and interesting ideas, that just never come together in a way that's emotionally satisfying or insightful or exciting or anything like that. His films are always a mess. In every one of them, it's like he has an idea for the story and the film sets it up in interesting ways, but then by the time you get to the middle and into the meat of the story and the plot thickens, he just loses the thread, it becomes a mess, and a tight rope act of how to just get the story across the finish line in a relatively coherent way.

Don't waste your money on this woke propaganda. When the movie ended, my theater was dead silent. As soon as the credits started rolling everyone just got up and headed for the exit. The saf thing is that we all went in wanting to like it.

Are you guys lining up to donate your likeness? Lol. The only thing that I loved about this movie was imagining myself upload my mind to a flash drive and then upload that data of myself into a different body where I felt most myself kinda like I assume many other trans women and men wish they could have been born fully themselves and such. This was a bad movie. I walked out half way when the US came in with their bombs and started to bomb all these people and AI individuals. I hate seeing people fake get bombed by the US when real people are really getting bombed by US bombs sent to like Israel so that they can be shot from Israel to holocaust Palestine and Palestinian kids aka and people for some fake white supremacist religion of evil reason like making a lot of money off of the industrial war complex reasons. It's so hurtful seeing all these kids with their brains coming out of their heads or actually seeing their heads just open and there is no brain there, and then also kids and people being dug up from under the rubble. It's so unfortunate and sad that people are just casually chill with genocide. I also though did like the way that Allison Janney was killed. I was like, girl yes! Her death was satisfying like the deaths in jurassic park. Lol. I hope this movie doesn't become another franchise you have to keep up with.

this movie is probably one of the most unoriginal works i have seen in a few decades. the screenplay is so bad that it should be used as curriculum in universities to teach people how not to write.
