The Creator Review: Embodies Originality, Ambition and a Unique Identity
Join Christian and Devin as they give their thoughts and insights on one of the most original films of 2023, THE CREATOR. 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 (John David Washington, "Tenet"), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Gemma Chan, "Eternals"), 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 (newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles).
