Director Gareth Edwards will be a hailed a film-making prodigy one day for this incredibly beautiful piece of science fiction. It is unfortunate that his film is not taking in the praise, or the money, that it deserves just yet.
Reports indicate that Edwards has approached this film in a rather revolutionary way. It is a sci-fi epic, made on a budget of only $80 million, thanks solely to his artistic decisions. And you would never have believed it. Put this next to "Avatar", and you would believe it was made on the same budget.
The visuals in "The Creator" are absolutely stunning, and demand to be seen on a big screen. I was the only one in attendance and the daytime showing I went to, but it was the greatest visual experience, next to "The Batman", that I've had in the cinema since the end of the pandemic.
Set around the 2060s, we watch a newsreel as it explains the rise of artificial intelligence during the 21st century, and how it eventually took over as humans became reliant upon it. A nuclear explosion, blamed on the AI, wiped out Los Angeles, which prompted the USA to go to war against the technology. They hunted the last of it to New Asia. John David Washington is tasked with hunting down and destroying a new 'super weapon', but when he discovers it, he finds that it will not be so simple.
I can't recommend "The Creator" enough to everyone. Particularly science fiction fans. Essential viewing, and one of the best films of 2023.
