I liked the Creator, I like how they portayed the US, not many movies turn the US into the bad guys, and irredeemable war-mongers at that.
I mean sure, I enjoy the US as bad guys too. But they were cartoonish, one-note, and their decisions made no sense. I mean the whole premise, as executed, didn't make any sense.
The US's war winning weapon was... Guided missiles; that they used to strike the enemy indiscriminately and generally didn't really care where they landed? They were afraid of AI because they hooked it up sky net style and it nuked LA, but later on that's revealed to be a human's fault? They supposedly hate AI but they use what seemed to be low level AI running robot bombs to attack the enemy? Their soldiers were happy to kill a dog to get the access to the secret base and cut off the face of an enemy to bypass a door but they're shown to have hacking devices for doors and in this hightech world we're supposed to believe they can't find a metal hatch in the ground going to a fuckin mass production factory?
The main antagonist to the US is... A father/daughter pair who make AI in seemingly their free time? Not the actual factories or research facilities with hundreds of scientists but the pregnant "god" creator who's trying to raise a kid with her husband on the beach.
Idk man. Slap a big US Army on the tanks that are destroying a village to kill a kid and that's an evocative painting, a real striking visual I guess. But a good 2.5 hour movie that does not make.
I never said it made sense lol, but i enjoyed it for what it was
Well don't let me down play what you enjoyed. I'm happy you got your money's worth and had fun.
It was worth it for me on these discussions alone, not even mentioning the beautiful visuals.
