The Creator is a 2023 American science fiction action film produced and directed by Gareth Edwards (Star Wars Rogue One), who co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Weitz.

It stars John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson and Allison Janney.

Set in 2070, 15 years after a nuclear detonation in Los Angeles that started a war against artificial intelligence, an ex-special forces agent is recruited to hunt down and kill the “Creator,” who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war.

It certainly looks good. And the documentaries about the making of the movie show the passion of Edwards in getting his vision on film. But he should have paid more attention to the plot. It does have some interesting themes to explore. But they are not developed very well, and eventually it all ends in a big action filled last act that feels like every other Sci-Fi movie.

Plus, I can’t get over the implausible design of the robot heads. Why the big hole. There is minimal structural strength in the attachment to the shoulders and a lot of vunerable parts.
