The Creator - What Happens When AI Makes a Movie | Anatomy of a Failure 

Pls pls PLSSSS do Halloween Ends Alternate Cinima PLEEEEAASSSSSSS I love you :] ❤

I totally agree with you except on one thing. Logan is not the oposite of this movie, it's exactly the same. A regurgitated product based on movies like Leon the Protector, Mad Max, and like this one, The Last of Us. The only difference is basically that audiences weren't tired of the trope yet, so Logan was well recieved, but it's basically the same.

Hey Fil, Kung Fu Panda 4 was announced and what your thoughts on original trilogy?

Please do a video for Real Steel (2011), I hope it's perfection because it has a great story and characters. Plus, we didnt have a good video about good movie in long time.

@@hansoharrigen6958 Logan was well received because it was Logan. Even if the story is not that original, it has more meaning because we had known Logan for years and so his arc here had a lot more emotional resonance

Money laundering.

The Flash made me upset tbh.. idk how else to describe it other than that. Felt like I was watching a movie that wasn’t finished yet in a WB safehouse

On God lots of these movies don't need to spend 200 million on a movie and that doesn't include marketing and advertising. More movies should obviously spend less to make more even if said movies are decent to good at best.

"administrative costs"

@@origami83 totally agree. When the truth comes out oh dear Bob Iger!!

Something was missing for sure.. it had moments of promise tho. Just never lived up to it.

so every david cage and kojima game : P

and a leftist video game at that

@@firstlast9846 It has all the elements to be a masterpiece but they chose to play them safely

​@@krono5elother than death stranding, which Kojima game falls into this category?

One of the best movies this year. Wasnt great, but overall ok. And it looked great

@@matteomariani5160 It was beautiful rubbish. It had a truly terrible script.

​@@ebukaobieri well, yeah but... don't know, I guess I have low standards when I go to the cinema nowadays. But I enjoyed many scenes in the movie, while also disliking many others

Dude, the fact you watch this channel is so cool! Love your vids! Just need u to upload a little more! Lol! Take care!

It's been such a disappointing year

I came out of the movie thinking the exact same thing... The "geopolitical landscape" is just so poor. The US is somehow the only superpower and a whole half of the world (the "east") is like a single poor SEA country even though they are the ones who have been heavily investing and working with mature AI for decades. Where's China and Russia in this world for example? This lack of a coherent "backstory" or just setting in general really makes me believe it was written by ChatGPT.

@@MrMontoroAthe new Asia was really a coalition of like 6 Asian countries from India to Laos you don’t expect a bunch of already 3rd world countries to put up a fight against an already established superpower

​@@unkown981 According to "The Creator Wiki" New Asia is comprised of Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Sumatra Islands, Borneo Islands, Bhutan, Nepal, Vietnam (excluding an area that would be Champa), Four North-Eastern States of India, Sikkm, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Himachal and Pradesh. So, Japan, Singapore and India after years of heavy, deeply military-focused investment in what was already robust AI at the beggining of the conflict, while the US hasn't touched AI for the whole period and it's like powder vs slingshots? Nope, not buying it. And more important than New Asia's military prowess, why are the other world super powers not even mentioned? China and Russia stay quiet on their own while the US invades and levels countries that are literally their neighbours? They get to deploy and use the NOMAD at a few killometers' distance from China's borders just like that? Imagine if the US deployed a sub with nuclear capabilities in Southeast Asia waters nowadays... except the NOMAD is a bit more deadly than that. That's what I mean when I say the geopolitical landscape in the movie is just poor.

Good point. Why did these Asian countries didn't own an advanced army to counter the U.S ? Just a rag tag bunch of rebels. The movie looked more like some future Vietnam war .Not a war with the whole of Asia ..

@@unkown981that’s not even mentioning that uhh such a super union is unrealistic, considering most of these nations HATE each other, if you want an example look at Vietnamese and Chinese relations, or just look at what chinas trying to do in the South China Sea.

Same with the rebels of New Asia no Air defense or shield for some reason with there advanced Robot and sim they can't make it lol

Nomad was (supposed to be) a "space station" .... Air defenses? In space?...

@@BarrGC Did you not even see the movie? where it operated inside the atmosphere to drop bombs?

@AutodidactAnimotions Ya, hence my use of brackets. Nomad violated all the rules around orbital dynamics and should not have been capable of entering the atmosphere. What sort of magic unlimited fuel source was it using?

@@AutodidactAnimotions yeah lets not have the strongest hacking defences for our most reliable military weapon. wth are you talking about 😂

What???

​@@genaugmen4505what?

​@@genaugmen4505the plot predictable but the visual is awesome.

@@genaugmen4505 look good, story bad

@@sollyroger4119 i think whatever you armchair reviewers would think is great would be an utter failure to 99.8% of people who find appreciation in a good story and visuals to match.

Exacly! Like why did they build nomad, then it is essentially a nuclear silo in space? Like, what's a point in building it in space and wasteing trillion of dollars, then you could just have build it on the ground? And why do they have farms there? And why destroing it deactivates the missiles? And how did a error in code coused a nuke to exploud (not to mention, what was it doing in meddle of L.A. to begin with). And those gigantick super-inpractical tanks?And whats the point of those blue lasers leting people know then you are aiming at them? And why dose the U.S hates A.I. and New Asia so much, like, whats they motive? I know sci-fi is not always meant to be realistick, but then it take place in our world, it should folow a certain logic, and not make things really inpractical, for sake of it. This movie fealt like every second scene that was suposed to be in, got cut out, making the world building fell so incomplete.

Don't forget the shoulder fired bombs that attached to people and they act like they couldn't feel it hit them. In the beginning of the movie, they had their special forces coming out of the water with flashlights on in an enemy country with NOMAD at low altitude shining its light on the ground near them.

Man. Exactly. I somewhat enjoyed this movie for the first half but got pissed at all the logical flaws. In the end it felt like a comedy to me

The part that stood out to me the most. When that random monkey on the battle denotes a massive enemy tank. I was genuinely shocked in how dumb that was 😆😅

@@tenkoles9784 I can explain SOME of those things here pretty easily. The Nomad having "farms" is mostly done like that for food and creating oxygen in space carriers for the people living IN it, that should be obvious here An error causing a nuke to explode makes sense when you have computers having full control of the detonation and a problematic message being shown on having machines be responsible for everything in society, having a nuke in LA is not entirely out of the norm when it's far enough to be detonated by clearly this time it wasn't. The AI aren't responsible for the nuclear denotation, as the movie stated, it WAS just a coding error by the opposite side of the US and they were blaming the AI as if they announced to the world that THEY just simply screwed, it would have been embarassing and made them look incompetent so they needed a scapegoat. The US doesn't "hates" the A.I. they're using them as a scapegoat and they're going to war with them and anyone whose siding alongside with them.

Yet the literature has to impart some, lets say, philosophy, about the real world if not about the fictional world. It has to make sense thematically. I haven't seen the movie, but the review made me feel like that's what this movie lacks.

This reminds me of Dr. Manhattan's speech in Watchmen when he realizes that humans are more interesting than he thought because he learns about someone behaving in a way that makes no logical sense.

THANK YOU!! So much Hollywood writing these days COMPLETELY FORGETS THE REST OF THE FICTIONAL WORLD EXISTS!! That's what we mean when we call the fantasy world of "The Lord of the Rings" 'lived-in'. As is, it FEELS like that world is vast and interconnected with an enormous history to it all, because the author took the time to craft HOW EVERYTHING IN THAT WORLD WORKS, even when it was barely mentioned in the story itself. The presence of those world elements are still all there, in the background, filling in all the gaps in the 'simulation', so that it feels like a world that COULD exist. Frankly, we have too many fanfic self-insert writers in Hollyweird, and very few TRUE AUTHORS.

There nothing realistic about this movie. The war in this movie is about "The Western Civilization" against "The Orientals". That's racism. Well, a racist movie is realistic. And yes, they actually use the term "Western Civilization" in the movie, by the way. Pretty bizarre.

​@@gundamzerostrike They are robots.

Would like to see Filmento do a video on Wish.

Has Filmento done Disney?

@@lacolem1 he did Spiderverse because it was exceptionally good. I think he will do Wish if he thinks it is exceptionally bad.

@@strangelaw6384 spiderverse is part of sony tho

He always covers movies that are not always from main stream companies or really different; I'm sure other issues he can tackle with Wish.

Watch Total Recall (2012) and Elysium. Same style.

@@JDoe-gf5oz yeahh dude! elysium is exacly my cup of tea, haven't watch total recall tho

@@kingghidorah102 It's like the others: near-future Earth with lots of special effects and peak Beckinsale and Beal running around in tight clothes.

​​@@kingghidorah102Repo men?

Blade Runner 2049 and Ghost In The Shell (2017) also had great aesthetics.

Ya, i felt like it was just "ok" overall. They had some storm trooper like scenes when they where on the bridge and Alphie gets shot.... One guy in the middle of the bridge with a pistol fighting and getting the better of 4 people (and more behind them) behind cover with rifles cant hit the guy standing out in the open. Then i would have to watch again but they didnt turn off Namata's life support because they cant harm humans but they are in a war killing humans? Visuals were beautiful, AI designs looked very cool.... but too many things in the story to pick apart. Just very hit and miss thru out the whole movie.

@@carvedfromlife8949 The killing of Nirmata part I think is more of a religious/cultural thing than their coding.

@@carvedfromlife8949 I think they couldn't kill Her not because they couldn't kill humans, but because they were programmed to not harm the Creator.

The world made no sense. Why don’t any of the other nations bomb the base that’s terrorising another nation? It makes no sense. Also, why did they have to create that child to go on the base? The ending didn’t even use the kid. The dude just blew it up like normal. So both the plot and world building were lacking. By all means, the characters were the “best” part of the film other then the visuals. And that’s not saying much.

​@@coldermusic2729what? I mean have you seen what America does in history, they literally terrorise other countries and don't get attack in return for how "strong and important" they are, also the child is just something they tried to create to destroy the thing from remote distance, it ain't some ultimate solution, it's just what they can think of that could work the best

Yea, it's a butchering and mashing of district 9, elysium, chappie, etc.

I feel that this is a very contemporary problem of competent movie direction, built upon incompetent writing.

Exactly at the end I thought the same if you could have just bombed the base to take it down why present the child as the only solution to end this war And also agree on the world building thats why I said I wanted to see more of it to make sense. Maybe other nations have a political issue just like Taiwan and China. US is claiming that they own the robots however no one can act cause the fear of starting a world war. So the AI is alone and the only way to destroy the base is from surface and that's why the child is the only solution etc. It was just surface storytelling that was needed to move on to next cool scene@@coldermusic2729

Exactly. You're never gonna succeed without a good story. Writers need to learn from FNAF. That's how you're suppose to write. That's how to succeed.

​@@thedarkemissary FNAF? Succeed? Is this sarcasm?

⁠​⁠@@thedarkemissaryand just like that, you’ve invalidated your opinion just by considering FNAF as good writing

@@CorelUser Check the box offices, bro. Massive success. Setting records for horror. Any sarcasm is directed at the notion that writing matters. It doesn't. FNAF is pure trash and still destroyed most films this year anyone would consider "good writing." Fact is, good writing, just doesn't matter. 30 of the 35 top grossing films of the year are from recognizable IPs. Simple as that.

@@thedarkemissary Box office success is a measure of a film’s popularity and marketing, not its storytelling quality. A movie can generate high revenue if it’s well-marketed and appeals to a broad audience. Who would have gone to see FNAF if did not have a recognizable name attached to it?

If you apply logic to the plot... pretty much none of it makes any sense at all. Why put this super-weapon in a weak childbot body? WHY?! THAT MAKES NO GOD-DAMNED SENSE!! Look at "Ghost in the Shell", the ORIGINAL anime, for an AI super-weapon that WORKS in the context of its world AND is very well-constructed in terms of story-telling.

@@Alondro77 My assumption would be that no one would expect it. Alternatively, it could be a developmental thing, where it needs to start young and age up.

@@Selrisitai But it's a PROGRAM Once you reduce intelligence to something that can be programmed into a computer, a fully-developed AI can be produced FROM THE START. The problem is, the writers do not understand the implications of the technology they're writing about. "Ghost in the Shell", from nearly 30 years ago, got it right, by having the Puppetmaster and its vast intellect emerge RAPIDLY from the government secret ghost hacking program.

@@Alondro77it was placed into a child so as to hide it much more easily. They had never created a child before, so the concept wasn’t something that would be sought after

@@Fernando_616 That's rather contradictory. The robotic parts are rather obvious if you wear anything other than a heavy hoodie. And it's uniqueness makes it even more likely to draw attention. Using a completely normal robot would be better.

I just put a comment saying how this film is literally just Chappie (2015) plus Elysium (2013) lmao

A kid has been the main 'weapon' in so many movies now

The Mandalorian, too?

that was my immediate thought when I first saw the scene in this video

They were shooting the car to STOP the car, that should be obvious, the car not having much damage is more of an oversight if anything but their reasoning is that they needed to get the girl.

@@Gadget-Walkmen they are shooting at it to stop it, but that wold kill anyone in there. The only reason it didn’t is because it’s a movie, and writers like to ignore physics. Which is why the scene feels so off

@@ookami5329 It was obvious the cops didn't care about the people in it, ONLY to stop them no matter what even if it DOES kill them. You can have cars getting shot up from a gun and having people survive in believable encounters, that's happened in real life (as there's literally real videos of that happening on the web) AND in fiction seamlessly. It being a "movie", is NOT an excuse, if you don't find it believable, then sure you can say that on your part. Writers don't "ignore physics" as carelessly as you say, it's a matter of if it's believable.

@@Gadget-Walkmen writers absolutely ignore physics. There are many cases. I’m a writer so it’s something I pay attention to. It’s an oversight. This isn’t even close to the most egregious example. The car itself isn’t damaged from the gunfire, and the amount of bullets pelting it should’ve caused injury at least. Though we don’t know exactly where the fault lies here; director, writer, VFX etc.

And that's just the start of the list! I had the same problem. I can let go of a few things like this, but it kept happening. The movie looked great, but the characters and the inconsistent tech just kept pulling me out of things.

Wheels can't climb stairs. The bomb robot can climb stairs because it has legs.

The individual missiles showing targeting reticules exist for the convenience of the audience. It creates the moment where the robot stops to prevent the children being harmed by the missile aimed at it.

@@lesath7883 Google Stair Climbing Wheels. Wouldn't be that hard to implement to a scifi drone... that didn't have to climb any stairs in the scenes it was in

Technology in this movie was the sort of thing you find in Dying Earth scifi. Post-apocalyptic worlds where technology is used in suboptimal ways because people lack the knowledge and resources to use it right. However, this movie is NOT Dying Earth Scifi, therefore it makes no fucking sense.

Problem is Gareth Edwards was the writer. He bit more than he can chew. Somebody else, more capable, should do the writing. Not him.

Wait that game had a bad script Just wondering what do you say that?

​@@triplermemes7717i think people just hate the fact that this movie and detroit try to make ai a good thing , especially rn what all the controversy with ai

@@triplermemes7717 The game presents an idea, and that's it. It's the same thing as an PETA comercial, "feel bad, it's a living thing" kind of perspective. And on Detroit the game just says "they're alive" and expects me to care just because a character says "it's not a machine". It's too superficial, like this movie. And yes, it has a lot of cliches like this movie.. so, here it is. It's just the same thing, idea and script.

@@triplermemes7717 Bad representation of an idea.

@@rubenimmanuel9339 It's not just that. It's also that they both try to make robots an allegory for humans. Thereby implying that oppressed humans are inherently designed to be slaves. Whoops.

@@lacolem1 I disagree, Gareth Edwards is a mastermind when it comes to visuals - he's just kinda shit at writing

Why were you against the AIs though? The AIs do basically nothing against the humans, and the only times they do it's because the Americans are literally trying to genocide them! I found the story frustrating specifically because the AIs were so clearly not a threat in the slightest. They just wanted to live like normal people.

@@tweda4 >lmao coding mistake = nuke >not a threat in the slightest

@@zogwort1522 That's still humans being morons for giving robots control over nukes. And besides, none of the AIs they're now killing have nukes, so the as far as I was concerned, the lesson was just, - don't give AIs charge over your nuclear weapons, and they won't detonate any of your nuclear weapons.

@@tweda4 Here's what we see in the film: The kid is arguably more dangerous than a nuke. The robots are not above making stupid random decisions. The robots have embraced buddhism. The robots use suicide bombers. Realistically, Super-Mega Aum Shinrikyo 9000 was gonna happen any day.

@@tweda4 Guess the American government is a bunch of morons then. Because their department of defense has AI in charge of the nukes. All it needs is 2 people to press the big red button.

The whole thing was shot in asia that's why it was so cheap.

They should have thrown in a couple extra milly and hired a decent writer.

Or budgets are usually inflated because of money laundering.

Is there a link for that concept short film? I'd love to see it. Thanks.

You absolutely don't want to see a 4 hour assembly. Assembly cuts are paceless and exist only so the director can see all the chosen footage. It would be a horrible slog to get through if you're looking to be entertained as a viewer.

Perhaps AI makes things predictable so we won't know how smart it really is . . . :P

@@zogwort1522 It is very much the hero's journey. Call To Action: US asks JDW to help Refusal: He says no Supernatural Aid is switched to: JDW is shown his wife is alive so... He "Crosses the Threshold" and says yes Belly of the Whale: JDW finds Alphie, ship/lab gets blown up, he's stranded in New Asia The Road of Trials: JDW and Alphie actually go on a road trip with multiple bonding moments and obstacles Meeting with the Goddess: JDW meets up with his old ally and he is assisted in his journey Temptress: JDW is given the chance to give Alphie up and still go home a hero blah blah blah I think you can fill in the rest.

"some"? Im mcu fan, but I would easily say "all" xd

Only if you completely turned off your brain and watched the movie in zombie brain dead mode. So many plotholes and just up broken in-world logic. A world where robots "die" and get a burial ceremony all while it's totally normal in this universe to store HUMAN memory and conscious on a goddamn USB memory stick. This is just one example of absolut braindead slob writing.

"My favorite parts were with the dog and monkey" i hope you never become a movie critic actually you'd fit right in with the modern ones

@me67galaxylife I'm not a critic, just a person who loves going to the theater. You seem a bit bent over something I found a little humorous, get a snickers.

@@LycanVisuals No it's just that those seen were absolute nonsense, like we're not even at the point of deus ex machina, we're at sheer stupidity. It's like whoever approved those scenes especially the monkey one managed to synthesize stupidity into a liquid and drank a gallon of it. It's objectively retarded. But say, you said it was humorous ? So you interpreted it as a comedy ? I kinda see where you're coming from in that case, but unfortunately no this was very serious...

I'd highly recommend you watch CHAPPIE (2015). Its a movie I only saw when it came out, and its what this movie reminded me of. Quite baffling how the scale of the two movies can be so different, yet the emotional context of Chappie far better, especially the ending.

@@b1rdbot510 I loved Chappie. That's another world I'd love to explore further. I've heard rumors that Chappie, District 9, and Elysium are in the same universe/timeline

@@b1rdbot510 Chappie was a pretty terrible movie though, with just the most annoying characters

@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r Nah love, Chappie ain't it. It's not cynicism, just plain truth

False dichotomy. The choice isn't between marvel crap and scifi crap. Go find actually good movies and support THOSE.

And then Japan gave us "Godzilla Minus One" and reminded us what it was like when characters acted like actual people and not robots in human skin.

Is it? Cause cinema is just a medium. There's always been schlock in theaters.

I was literally going to write the same thing! I stopped watching half way through because it just reminded me of a more entertaining movie.

And yet, it feels so forced, so meaningless... so far, up to this point, everytime a Radiohead track has been used in a show, it has had huge impact to the story. Think Children of Men, Prisoners, Romeo and Juliet, Black Mirror, Peaky Blinders, heck, even Clueless.... and then it seemingly breaks that streak in this movie. I was actually excited for when Everything in its Right Place started playing, thinking, ok, they're using Radiohead, something extremely important and impactful is about to happen, or there is a message they are trying to convey here, and the track is going to incorporate it perfectly..... and then nothing. Absolutely nothing happens. They land, get out, and the music fades out. An absolute waste of Radiohead, and for the first time too. It was just playing Radiohead for the sake of playing Radiohead. Felt kind of insulting, if you ask me.

@@MatBaconMC different opinions from different fans. I loved it and know alot of radiohead fans that loved it. Maybe nothing "important" happened but it made you FEEL the song and scenes together and it felt cool like getting ready to see a futurisitic tech mvoie.

@@MatBaconMC Ozark too

@@zogwort1522 of course you can have world building without a story, dungeons and dragons for example, or any ttrpg for that matter. there are stories within the world and such but the world exists without the story. what your talking about is a sort of world building that exists to facilitate a story, that's common for movies, star wars for example started out that way. my point is that the writers for creator seem to have been given a theme (humans vs ai) and built a world to facilitate that allegory, the plot was just tacked on at the end to show us the world, so it doesn't work very well.

Neil made Chapie, I miss District 9 Neil

The plot feels like it's Elysium 2.0

Definitely one of my favorite movies I saw this year, agreed. Thanks for watching!

Movie of the year is Godzilla minus One.. watch it, you'll see..

ffs ☝🏼 this guy gets it!

Kaguya-Sama, great call! I saw this back in February and glad its gotten a mention! :D

You sir or ma’am are a human of culture.

everything but the sfx was garbage in this movie. the fucking scene with the monkey activating the mine, not even by accident but on purpose, exploded what neurons i had left at that point. badly written and with cringe leftist vietnam mentality not even hidden in the slightest.

For real this movie is great some people are way too harsh on it, it's Terminator Salvation all over again.

There is movie about Kaguya-sama? thank man, have something good to watch

I don't know what you mean by that of it being "cut down" but I disagree entirely so from being anywhere near "bORIng" AT ALL here in ANY way as it was a great theater experience.

@@moviesaredope Maybe in the director's cut will flesh things out even more so.

@@Gadget-Walkmen I'd welcome that. It felt really weird having him just be in the temple near the end. Like we skipped a whole sequence of him getting there I really wish I could have enjoyed it like Dan Murrell did

@@moviesaredope I thought him being in the temple was obvious from how he was able to escape the area and walk up the mountain in secret with alphie while the americans were distracted.

They literally used the line "more human than human" in the film.

In other groundbreaking news: Peepee better than poopoo.

What “stupidity” are you even talking about here in the movie? What?! There was none! The movie wasn’t pitch perfect but it’s the furthest thing from ANY kind of “sTupidIty” AT ALL!

Genuine question I didn’t understand from the movie. How did the nomad work? Like, throughout the movie we’ve seen it physically get to each place he wanted to destroy, scan it, and then firing the missile. In the end tho we see that it fired all of his missiles directed to different parts of Asia distant from each other while it remained still. Did I miss something?

⁠@@Gadget-Walkmen my friend, the concept of AI in this movie might as well have been written in the 1950s. Right now, we already have AI that’s on the verge of being smarter than humans BECAUSE IT HAS ACCESS TO ALL HUMAN KNOWLEDGE VIA THE INTERNET. These robots were literally stupider than most humans. Also how about *poke* *poke* *poke* in the girl’s head, stands up “dude, I’m about to deliver to you the entire plot of this movie in three sentences because I just poked inside her head. Suddenly I know everything about her. Turns out she’s the greatest threat to mankind.” 😂😂😂😂 Time to send the slow running bomb robot at the enemies so they have time to either escape or destroy him from a distance before he blows them up instead of just firing a f*king missile at them. I don’t mean to be mean, but narratively speaking, this movie is an absolute joke. Gareth Edwards did a fantastic job getting fresh visuals with his style of VFX integrated filmmaking, but he is certainly not a writer.

​@@ChristopherCopeland No, just NO! Completely against most of EVERYTHING that which you're saying here. The concept of AI in this movie was NOT "might as well have been written in the 1950s." in the slightest as you just seem to believe that AI can do everything just because they're supercomputers. No, they're sentient beings that can reason AND have emotions as seen in this movie. When you give an AI full on emotions, than it's starting to be a person who can full think for themselves and make logically and rash decisions like any other human being. The robots were NOT "literally sTuPiDer tHaN mOst HuMaNs" AT ALL, they were just restricted to their bodies and couldn't just inject themselves into the web to take in every information out there. Lol you seem to think that AI can do everything just because they're AI, no bro, that's not happening at all in EVERY story featuring them as most narratives don't have AI doing what you're saying at all even though the internet has full around to it's recognizable form for at least over 25 years now, and most media don't portray Ai as this all knowing being that can just do everything perfectly, ESPECIALLY when they have emotions.. You have to LIMIT the A.I.'s capabilities in stories if you plan to overall balance in conflict between humans and AI unless you just want the robot AI to just destroy all the humans easily which they could if you portray them in their realistic capabilities like in terminator, and just because they're AI, that doesn't mean they can do everything. Every sci-fi story that's made has their own version of AI that has rules to them, and not every AI in a story can just absorb the information in the internet JUST because they're a machine, lol that's nonsense because by that logic EVERY machine can do that in a story and it would break the narrative of humans even coming CLOSE to winning anything at all. AI robots ARE naturally smarter than humans in a realistic sense but they can't do everything because they are AI, they are limited by their resources just like humans are, and most of the AI don't have all the right resources to do whatever they want, and they're in with the eastern humans who want to live in harmony in them in the opposing side of the war. This should be obvious here as the AI aren't trying to rule everything, they just want to live in peace in nature with the humans they are with in the war. That's it. "Also how about poke poke poke in the girl’s head, stands up “dude, I’m about to deliver to you the entire plot of this movie in three sentences because I just poked inside her head. Suddenly I know everything about her. Turns out she’s the greatest threat to mankind.” 😂😂😂😂" What? What are you even saying right now? You're not making any sense in this statement at all here because I have NO idea on what you mean AT ALL here as what you're saying didn't happen in the film. "Time to send the slow running bomb robot at the enemies so they have time to either escape or destroy him from a distance before he blows them up instead of just firing a f*king missile at them." They DID have missiles and they WERE firing at them with it, they were just using a bomb robot as well to get close in range to target all the people in closed groups. This is obvious if you were actually paying attention to what's going. The bomb robot can't be easily destroyed at all, it's a running tank of a machine, this is made clear but they didn't know that the child would shut down the bomb robot they already had PRE-made. This is also obvious here. "I don’t mean to be mean, but narratively speaking, this movie is an absolute joke." Disagree entirely so as it's FAR from an "abSoLuTe JoKe" at all. While the movie DOEs pull from other influences in it's narrative pretty clearly as it does have a "yeah we kinda saw this stuff before." The plot and writing of the movie is well executed enough to be coherent for the most part. "Gareth Edwards did a fantastic job getting fresh visuals with his style of VFX integrated filmmaking, but he is certainly not a writer." He IS a writer whose competent enough to write out an engaging enough story that people are interested in seeing that's heavily elevated from it's fantastic visuals and great set-pieces with compelling enough characters you want to follow and see through. The movie isn't perfect, but it's nowhere NEAR as problematic as you are making it out to be or what filmento has said either. A movie doesn't to be ENTIRELY original for it's story to have a plot that no one has EVER seen before, it JUST needs to be well done and well executed for people to want to see in the big screen, which the movie IS and does very well.

Finally Someone appreciates a piece of art that was bit above average.. but still a piece of art given the state of movies nowadays..

That statement applies perfectly to MTV when it launched. They needed videos and even bad music can have good visuals.

A nice microcosm for filmmaking and entertainment these days in general. Looks great, but no substance and no soul.

I felt a lot of emotion and heart personally.

@@joeman99983 Ditto. Plenty of flaws in execution but the film absolutely has heart.

Are you sure about that? Here is what Akira has, that this movie doesn't: Complex characters. A reflexion on buddhist values and the power dynamics of cults. Psychic powers. Social decay. A believable love story. Extreme body horror. Wide-scale generational conflict. Moral dilemmas. Crime and delinquency. Comedy. Here is what GitS has, that this movie doesn't: Believable geopolitics. Intricate power dynamics between official agencies. Psychic powers. Technology that mostly makes sense. A reflexion on the process of adaptation and the relationships between a system and its components. Conflict between private and professional life. Pornography. Massive amounts of worldbuilding. Comedy.

Oppenheimer is way overrated, I hate that movie, and I don't say this to be edgy, but I actually feel a mild form of disgust when I think of Oppenheimer. Crearor was kinda stupid, but I didn't get annoyed at it like I did with Oppenheimer.
