The Creator
{4.5/5} “‘What do you want, sweetie?’ ‘For robots to be free.’ ‘Oh. We don’t have that in the fridge. How about ice cream?'”
The Creator, released in 2023
AI detonated a nuclear bomb and killed a million people, so now it’s outlawed in the West. Joshua is living in a community in New Asia with some AI but he’s undercover. When Nomad destroys a bunch of AI as they’re running away, Joshua’s wife Maya and his unborn child are killed too. They’re looking for Nirrmata, the creator of the AI. Five years later, he works in Los Angeles in a space suit, cleaning up where the bomb hit.
It’s about some humans and AI who can get along, and some who can’t. It’s about what happens when your enemy looks like a kid.
It has a stunning look to it.
The movie was largely filmed in Thailand.
Stars John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Allison Janney, and Ken Watanabe. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters). The music is by Hans Zimmer.
