The synopsis sounded promising. "The Creator" endeavors to combine science fiction and action with the ethical issues surrounding artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, the film concentrates too much on the big-budget, visually stunning CGI extravaganza and loses focus on the story. Unfortunately, it doesn't go into the depths it wanted to explore. It gives the impression that it was written by an AI. This is because the plot seems formulaic, with some lengths and very predictable.
Some holes in the logic bothered me a little, especially as the movie tries to be realistic or credible. This is particularly noticeable in the elaborate imagery, which was also shot in real locations to give the film a down-to-earth feel, which is also very successful and enhances the film. A plus point for the film are the special effects and the great production design, which sometimes make for breathtaking images. The popular narrative structure of jumping into the past every now and then didn't work for me in terms of timing. It rather took me out of the moment. Towards the end, "The Creator" relies particularly on very emotionally charged scenes, which are too deliberately tear-jerking. The acting of all the actors was solid and good, but in the end they were unable to leave a lasting impression.
Although some things were done right, the movie couldn't pick me up.
--------------- Conclusion:
Weak - formulaic story with no depth. The movie could have been so much more, but unfortunately it didn't live up to its potential.
