Description: From writer/director Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One,” “Godzilla”) comes an epic sci-fi action thriller set amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence. 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).

Got a sneak preview today/yesterday (Wednesday) and loved it - stunningly beautiful (every frame is a painting) and with elements that remind you of your favourite sci-fi, while still being it’s own beawt, but all done without overshadowing the very human story at the heart of it. As it was a blind screening, I was already booked in to see it tomorrow/today (Thursday) and I’m looking forward to round two.
I finally watched the screener someone gave me - The Creator is brilliant at not being brilliant. It’s a crowd-pleaser, the coolest cyberpunkiest ride I’ve taken in a while. Every scifi nerd who ever said “why isn’t there any original scifi?” needs to get out and support this movie now. There may never be another chance to see something this new again.
