Amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua (John David Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Gemma Chan), 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 humankind. 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, in this epic sci-fi action thriller directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a screenplay by Edwards and Chris Weitz.

Reviews

The MacGuffin

Sarah Ksiazek

It says something about the film industry when just having an original story is enough to get people in seats, let alone with the resumé of Gareth Edwards and Chris Weitz to back it up.

Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies

Charlotte Harrison

Few films in 2023 were in possession of world-building as good as this...

Edwards also wisely keeps events moving swiftly enough that we can't really linger on how little meat there really is on this story's bones. The Creator runs a shade over two hours, which is maybe one action set piece too far

Edwards excels at peeling black the layers of a cynical world, in order to reveal the little slices of humanity existing beneath the surface. Maybe, in coming to appreciate and understand what really matters, we'll be able to grow.

This action thriller with an existential underscore reiterates several tropes of the genre and yet works because of its efficient premise. [Full review in Spanish]
