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, 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. 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.
The trailer feels a little bit like Terminator meets I Robot. I know this weekend’s show might not be to everyone’s tastes, but I am really excited to see this movie. Reviews have been quite positive for it. Here is what one person said: “Excellent performances and fantastic visual effects make The Creator an entertaining watch — and the questions raised by its thought-provoking story will stay with you after the closing credits roll.”
