Amid a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua, a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife, 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.
Always good to see a new original science fiction movie that isn't tied in to ongoing franchises. However, it does feel like it could have been a part of the Terminator universe at one point. It does look absolutely gorgeous.
The Creator film is directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Rogue One) from a screenplay co-written with Chris Weitz, and a story from Edwards. The film stars John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, and Allison Janney.
The Creator is scheduled to be released in the United States on 29th September 2023, by 20th Century Studios.

Short filmTranscript
00:00 My favorite cinema is very visually driven.
00:03 It's not like a play.
00:05 It's like a dream.
00:07 It's just a pure emotion.
00:09 This film's a mounting part of movies I grew up loving.
00:16 Go, go, go!
00:18 A Vietnam movie mixed with robotic sci-fi.
00:22 They've gone for the child.
00:24 Gareth has this ability to inject compassion
00:28 in a sci-fi genre
00:30 that usually leans on spectacle and danger.
00:33 Maya!
00:34 Gareth Edwards, he is a visionary.
00:37 And these characters are all relatable
00:39 and you fall in love with them.
00:41 I thought, "Oh my God, sign me up.
00:43 I want to be a part of this."
00:45 What jumped out was the magical realism
00:48 that he was able to execute.
00:50 The depth and the motion that he was able to capture
00:53 in every frame.
00:54 They're my family.
00:55 They're not people, Maya.
00:56 They're not real.
00:58 You and I are real.
00:59 This isn't real.
01:00 Okay, cut. Good.
01:01 The film deals with a lot of big themes
01:04 like what does it mean to be human?
01:07 And what does it mean to be alive?
01:09 And can love transcend those divides and boundaries?
01:13 You're my friend?
01:14 Should we embrace it?
01:15 Should we destroy it?
01:16 Everyone ready?
01:17 And action.
01:19 Gareth shoots in a way that a lot of actors love
01:23 because he doesn't like to cut.
01:24 Keep going, keep going.
01:26 I love that process where we do these rounds
01:29 of just takes.
01:30 And roll.
01:31 He operates the camera himself.
01:33 You know, he knows what he wants.
01:35 Gareth, you're not afraid to try anything.
01:38 And anything goes.
01:39 We really went for broke.
01:43 It's just a really insane, rich, visual journey
01:47 that I hope affects people in the way that I was affected
01:51 when cinema blew my mind as a kid.
