Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.
**Hello friends, good vibes to all.
Artificial intelligences are already among us in many aspects of our lives and we probably don't even know it. In countries like South Korea and Japan there are already robots that serve you coffee or attend a store, recently we saw how the union of screenwriters and actors went on strike precisely because they were opposed to the use of these elements when making movies and television; that is, these intelligences are not the future, they are the mere present because every day that passes they are more among us. This is why I decided to give The Creator a chance, a film that talks about what could be the future in the short term as far as the use of AIs is concerned.
We can agree that these AIs can become useful to humans, but could they become capable of replacing us? - I would say yes, in fact I think that's where we are heading. This film explores how this "war" or conflict between humans and AIs will be, if we will be able to coexist with these creations or as a good species that extinguishes everything in its path we will also annihilate them from the face of the earth. Because yes, humans as a species, in many occasions and circumstances, we leave much to be desired, but let's take a look at how the world is today. Understanding that this duality of seeing the world is what we will see here, let's go and talk a little bit about this production.
As I said the world is in conflict and the only possible way to solve everything is for one side to eliminate the other. Why did this happen? - Because a few years earlier one of these artificial intelligences detonated an atomic bomb in Los Angeles obviously causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and this was something that left humanity very hurt in every way. This is where Joshua (John David Washington), a former U.S. special forces agent, will be recruited to find the whereabouts of Nirmata (a God) or the Creator, the mastermind behind this whole movement of artificial intelligences and this person apparently created a weapon that could be a threat to what is left of humanity.
From here is when the chase begins, as Joshua accompanied by an elite group of soldiers depart to Asian lands, because it is in those parts where the bases are, to find the final site of this weapon and of course the Creator. For me this is a film of pure survival because we will realize that both sides have a little reason, some consider as a threat more than real these AI and for others who support them see them as allies to make everything easier and more effective; given then this duality of thought will impose the fittest, hence it is to survive at all costs or be completely destroyed.
The first thing to say is everything that has to do with the visuals. This is a film made by the creator of Rogue One, Gareth Edwards, a director who obviously knows and knows everything about science fiction at the space level, etc., so watching this film in that aspect is spectacular. I think the visuals are one of the best things this film has, some very well done effects, everything related to CGI, staging; logically everything has an aura to the Star Wars universe and rightly so but that's not bad, there are many aspects that are used as an influence that really were very top. Speaking of influences there is also a very marked one to the mythical film Independence Day, the first one; when you see this film you will realize what I'm talking about, it's almost at the end. It reminded me a lot of that film. Visually, I repeat, it is a gem.
At the story level is another thing that is also worthwhile. I consider the plot very heartfelt and beautiful, because yes, there is a conflict in the middle but when we understand the context and the story behind it all becomes much more real and full of life, if the expression fits. The plot is simple but I think the important thing is the message it leaves you with at the end, it is not an empty film with good effects, there is an important emotional charge that makes us connect with certain characters that make the experience very different from what we might think. The reality is that the film is deeper than it seems and that combination between the war and the latter makes it difficult to get bored watching it.
The characters. Joshua is a person who is driven by love, everything he does is with the purpose of seeing his wife again, so those feelings will make him make certain controversial decisions. Decent acting, nothing more. Alphie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles), the little girl you see above, is one of the most endearing parts of the film. Little by little she loosens up in her role and in the end we will see a very good performance from her, she was very cool. We will also see actors a little more known as the great Ken Watanabe and Allison Janney in a role I had not seen, here she plays a tough and ruthless, which she achieves without any problem. In the end, the performances were in line with everything, nothing bad to say about them, they performed well.
I give this film 8/10 only for the visuals because even the natural locations were top notch. The plot is simple but engaging because of how moving and emotional it is and the performances in general were average. It is a very good movie to enjoy and therefore I recommend it to everyone without any doubt. It has a running time of a little over two hours. I leave the trailer below.
