Our opinion on The Creator
After reinventing Star Wars and Godzilla, Gareth Edwards offers us an original scenario that transcends his cinema, which has now reached its pinnacle. Highly inspired by numerous universes - Blade Runner, Lone Wolf and Cub, and others - the filmmaker offers a dense universe of great SF in the noblest sense of the word, evoking the likes of Christopher Nolan and James Cameron. In short, it goes without saying that The Creator is a success!
This war against AI pits the USA against New Asia, where, after being devastated by an accident caused by robots, the former wants to eradicate the machines that populate the latter. To this end, it creates Nomad, a deadly satellite that towers over the sky, casting a menacing eye over the world.
With imperial cinematography that elevates the film to the level of visual splendor, Gareth Edwards' metaphysical odyssey poses an age-old question: what makes us human? And can the machine be more human than man? The result is a splendid journey lasting over 2 hours 15 minutes, which is sure to be talked about for a long time to come.
