The Creator (2023)
6/10
Movie about A.I. that feels like it was written (poorly) by A.I.
28 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As the title says. I wanted to like this movie and the world it attempted, but the plot just seems like A. I. had been used to write it.

Intruiging elements of the story, and world that it tried to build, seemed to have been passed over in favour other less important elements, or perhaps they just ended up on the cutting room floor.

The third and final act of the movie also seemed very rushed to the extent that it seemed nonsensical. How did they get onto the Nomad station so easily, and take it down what seemed like such relative ease?

As a result, it just felt like there was this huge pacing imbalance from one part of the movie to the next.

It seemed like in order to try and make the movie meet a certain run-time, they had to cut a whole lot of explanatory or world building elements out.

It almost seems like there could have been two movies worth of story, but they didn't have enough confidence in the material that a second movie would have been green-lit.

Whereas Rogue One had been written and filmed within the context of being a story set within the greater Star Wars universe, it feels like The Creator was written in the same way, but we had no pre-existing universe to work with.
