Joshua (John David Washington, "Tenet"), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Gemma Chan, "Eternals"), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war... and mankind itself. Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory... only to discover the world-ending weapon he's been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child (newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles).

The Creator is a visually lush, well performed, futuristic drama wrapped around a lovey story.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

I liked aspects of it, mostly the visuals... It's just too bad the story was derivative and seemed to crib from so many other sci-fi epics.

The main question about "The Creator" is: How has a movie this good and this big arrived in theaters with so little fanfare?

Rated: 3.5/4

The first two acts of the movie are absorbing, with all the detailed world-building, special effects, and thoughtful ethical concerns imaginable.

It’s the work of a filmmaker so comfortable in their genre they can rely on a minimalist story within their maximalist film.

Rated: 5/5

The MacGuffin

It says something about the film industry when just having an original story is enough to get people in seats, let alone with the resumé of Gareth Edwards and Chris Weitz to back it up.

It puts me in the mindset of The Matrix meets The Golden Child. I just so happen to love both movies. Anyone who loves sci fi should see this---plenty of thrills through out the film.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

It was a movie with interesting ideas that were not fully developed, and good performances were overshadowed by overly predictable tropes that, in the end, made it mostly forgettable. Not a bad movie, but somewhat disappointing.

The movie felt long and John the actor seems to only play himself. I wish both sides were gray instead of the movie portraying the machines as the good guys. I will say the little girl was a good actress in this. I had an issue with one of the robots acting too human like smoking. The cgi was good though.
