Story: The Creator starts when a former soldier Joshua (Washington) is recruited by Colonel Howell (Janney). She needs him to lead a mission against Artificial intelligence in New Asia. They believe the A.I. has created a new deadly weapon that could wipe out the Western world.

However, once Joshua meets the weapon, a child robot he names Alphie (Voyles), he learns more about his previous life undercover with the A.Is. What follows is Joshua learning the truth about the war he has been fighting in, while protecting Alphie.

Verdict on The Creator

The Creator is a sci-fi action movie following the war between A.I. and humans. It focuses on one man who is sent on a mission to locate a new weapon, only to find himself questioning his place in the war.

This is a big action movie and puts us right in the middle of a war between AI and Humans. It feels a lot like a mix of a Terminator movie, mixed with Oblivion. This gets to prove that people don’t always know what they are forced to fight for. It shows that power plays by countries can cause mass destruction. Along with a warning about how involved humanity needs AI in their lives.

This is an original story and uses the big moments for impact. The missile strikes are sequences that will be remembered along with the different robots used in battle. Overall, the performances are great with John David Washington shining in the leading role once again.

Final ThoughtsThe Creator is an excellent sci-fi spectacle.
