The Creator tells the story of Joshua(John David Washington). Set several years in the future, humans & artificially intelligent robots are engaged in a war with devastating consequences. Joshua finds a weapon, that could end the war for good. This secret weapon is in the form of a robot, with the likeness of a young child. Her name is Alphie(Madeleine Yuna Voyles).
The Creator is an awesome film. Director Gareth Edwards has given us another memorable sci-fi film, after Rogue One: A Star Wars Story(2016) & Godzilla(2014). However, it is very derivative of all of Hollywood's sci-fi movies of the past, even though it's meant to be an attempt at an original sci-fi film. One major gripe that I have with the movie is that, the picture quality is very subpar & even grainy in parts. I watched it in IMAX & the picture quality just didn't match IMAX standards, which is very bizarre. The action set pieces are superb. The visual effects are flawless. John David Washington is outstanding as Joshua. Madeline Yuna Voyles is spectacular as Alphie. The effortless camaraderie & strong bond between Washington & Voyles' characters, is the highlight of the film. Gemma Chan is brilliant as Maya. Allison Janney is excellent as Colonel Howell. Ken Watanabe is brilliant as Harun. The supporting cast is great. The Creator is worth a watch for sci-fi movie buffs. Just definitely don't watch it in IMAX, as it's definitely not worth shelling out the extra money.
