‘The Creator’ movie review: Gareth Edwards bats for AI in this sci-fi spectacle with a beating heart

The Hindu  

In Gareth Edwards’ The Creator, a sci-fi epic set in the future, Artificial Intelligence robots and humans co-exist. After watching this thoroughly engaging magnum opus for two hours, yours truly wondered if one would sip tea with an AI robot created to write authentic human-like movie reviews. The Creator Director: Gareth Edwards Cast: John David Washington, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe Runtime: 133 minutes Storyline: In a dystopian future, America is cracking down on AI developments across the world, and a soldier must save an AI child believed to be a secret weapon Though everything about the screenplay of The Creator is written much like any other sci-fi actioner — there’s also one too many laser-shooting, missiles-firing, androids-exploding war-drama action sequences from beginning to end — the film truly touches you with how loud its heart beats. The Creator is Edwards’ love letter to AI and a mirror to humanity to check its shortcomings first, a tale that is especially relevant now after even Hollywood is grappling with advancements in AI.

In this era of widespread scepticism over artificial intelligence, there's something refreshingly optimistic — if perhaps a little naive — about a film that dares to pitch its sympathies in with the robots. So it is with The Creator, the new film from Rogue One director Gareth Edwards, a sci-fi action epic that's both topical and strangely progressive — but …
