There is no denying that The Creator is a major new sci-fi adventure. If you're partial to such things, Edwards' ambitious, immersive film should prompt the intoxicating awe that you might have got from The Matrix and Avatar – the feeling that you're seeing a rich vision of the future unlike any that has been on the big screen before.
The Creator marks the first time, it seems, that the filmmaker stepped out from the shadows of franchises and dipped back into what made him stand out in the first place. He's proven to have a flair for mesmerizing visuals, a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, and plenty of pathos.

Majestic visuals, a compelling script, and an interesting plot coalesce into a timely film in “The Creator”. It’s funny how vitally important themes and professionally crafted art get completely ignored in this age of insane aggression and inflated egos. This movie failed to deliver at the box office despite falling in line as a status quo Woke production (the male lead is flawed and evil, and must suffer, women are stunning and brave, the girl protagonist is the key to everything, etc etc…).
“The Creator” accurately depicts humanities’ distinct lack of respect for life, the living or even the dead. In this vision of the future, Artificial Intelligence, as mankind’s offspring, inherits emotions, as well as this complete disdain for others, as demonstrated through the callous destruction wrought by all sides during the entire movie. Selfishness as well as a very dubious solidarity abound, leaving the keen viewer uncertain of who to emotionally support. Gareth Edwards can absolutely keep you guessing if one side is more correct than the other, right up to the very end.
In conclusion, “The Creator” challenges you to consider that our prejudice to A.I. may be flawed, while most definitely presenting the defects of mankind. It carries with it a message of hope for a better tomorrow thru an end to violence, and is a movie worth watching and supporting.

The Creator is an original movie too, and even if it is a somewhat convoluted and silly mishmash of familiar tropes and sci-fi cliches, it still evokes the feeling of something fresh, something novel, something exciting to experience and behold — which is so much more than you can say about the vast majority of big budget movies these days.
As pretty as The Creator looks, and however well-considered its world may be, it feels like all sizzle and no steak. AI is an extremely prevalent issue facing us in the real world, but Edwards seems disinterested in exploring beyond its aesthetic surface (e.g. borrowing real people’s voices and likenesses in perpetuity) in favor of a warmed-over critique of American imperialism in the global East.
There are lots of ideas rattling around in it — about artificial intelligence, about racism, about American aggression on the world stage, about the future of humanity. And rattle and clang they do. And also clunk. The various elements are not well integrated.
The Creator itself eventually tries one’s patience with its incessant demands that you feel for characters and relationships that it hasn’t taken the care to develop.
If The Creator were any more slanted, any more in the tank for the coming AI onslaught, you would think it was produced, written and directed by AI.
A good movie, for me the caracter of Roger was really placed into it, for me is one of the best movies I've ever seen

Oh boy where to start, this movie is a big steaming pile of meh. It’s a basic sci fi action movie with bad acting and clunky dialogue. The whole plot has been done before in better ways, and it overall just leaves a not very memorable movie.

Despite being clearly superior to many sci-fi movies that in recent years have limited themselves to plagiarizing much better products from the past, The Creator fails to create a plot and characters that will be remembered once the screening is over. The story is rather banal and predictable from minute 1, a jumble of elements already seen in I, Robot and Blade Runner which forms the backdrop to a world which, although aesthetically appreciable, is also rather forgettable. However, applause goes to the visual effects and photography together with the interpretation of John David Washington who desperately tries to make an otherwise dismissable character interesting.

The cast is fine, the premise is interesting enough, and the film looks great considering how low the budget was. What stops me from liking it is that it's a boring movie. It stalls out very quickly and from the middle of the film until the finale, I was bored watching.
