In Review: The Creator
The Creator became a must watch for me when I first saw the trailer. It looked like it would be a visually stunning example of cyberpunk action. The actual film? Well it did live up to the visuals, but it lacked in some other areas. If you can look past the flaws, it is enjoyable. Minor spoilers ahead. The move starts with us discovering that robots have nuked LA. The West (the USA) has outlawed AI and robots. However, New Asia (South Asia all lumped together) has embraced them and let them live among them. A trillion dollar space station called NOMAD orbits above asia, dropping missles whenever it finds AI enclaves. Enter Joshua, a special forces opperative that fell in love while undercover. He agrees to do one last mission to stop an AI superweapon because it will give him a chance to find his wife. Things go sideways and he discovers that the "weapon" is a robot child. Pursued by both sides of the conflict, Joshua takes Alpha with him as the only clue to finding his wife
