Summary
Futuristic sci-fi thriller starring John David Washington. Huge leaps in robotics and machine learning lead to an artificial intelligence apparently choosing to detonate a nuclear bomb over Los Angeles. Now outlawed across much of the world, all remaining AI-powered bots have relocated to New Asia where US soldier Joshua Taylor is sent to find information about a formidable weapon being developed by the machines.

Review
A star rating of 3 out of 5.
Dave Golder
America leads the war against AI in this action-packed near-future adventure from Rogue One director Gareth Edwards. John David Washington plays a former US agent who is sent on a mission to locate and destroy a super-weapon built by an AI mastermind known as the Creator. Things get complicated, though, when the weapon turns out to be an android in the form of a little girl. An unapologetic cocktail of influences as diverse as Akira, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner and Ex Machina, the film labours through its attempts at satire, and the script has little new or profound to say about artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the comically despicable US army staff are all depicted as cartoonish bad guys. But as sci-fi spectacle, The Creator delivers in some style, with gun-toting robot hordes, massive machines of mass destruction, and the odd moment of quirky visual wit.
