The science fiction epic “The Creator,” by the famous British director Gareth Edwards, comes at a time when the world is trying to come to terms with the fact that the future will be shaped, to a large extent, by artificial intelligence. This comes 7 years following the release of his last work, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” in 2016.
According to the German News Agency, the events of the impressive and multi-layered dramatic cinematic work take us to the year 2065, to explore the advantages and threats resulting from the spread of artificial intelligence technology.

In an interesting context, one million people are killed in a nuclear explosion that takes place in Los Angeles, and the United States launches a war once morest artificial intelligence, but it does not limit itself to banning the controversial technology and destroying it on its territory, but rather sends a group of special forces on board a giant spacecraft called “ Nomand, to destroy all forms of artificial life in the world, as part of an imperialist anti-artificial intelligence mission.
At the same time, artificial intelligence represents an important part of daily life in a country called “New Asia,” where human robots work in the fields or drive taxis. It even goes so far as to be used in raising orphans.
When American Special Agent Joshua (played by American actor John David Washington) is sent to New Asia to find Nirmata, the mysterious engineer of advanced artificial intelligence, he falls in love with AI engineer Maya (portrayed by British actress Gemma Chan). ). However, his cover is revealed and Maya disappears during the last three months of her pregnancy.

After 5 years, the grief-stricken Joshua suddenly learns that Maya is still alive, and agrees to go on another mission to “New Asia” to destroy a mysterious weapon developed by “Nirmata.” It is said that he is able to end the war by wiping out humanity.
But when he and his special forces discover the mysterious weapon, they find that it is artificial intelligence, but in the form of a girl capable of experiencing emotions, so Joshua takes her to care for her, within the framework of a repeated idea usually used in films that explore the relationship between artificial intelligence and humanity. Then it doesn’t take long for him to become very attached to her.
In addition to the two prominent action heroes, Washington and Chan, the cast includes a group of the brightest stars, including the Oscar-winning American star, Allison Janney, who plays the role of Special Agent Howell, who has no mercy in the fight once morest artificial intelligence, in addition to the Japanese actor Ken. Watanabe, who plays the role of the robot “Aaron”.
As for the filming locations, British director and screenwriter Gareth Edwards (48 years old) chose to film in places with picturesque landscapes, in Cambodia, Nepal, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan, instead of filming in expensive studios.
Although the future setting of 2065 was added later, the film looks truly amazing, with an announced budget of only $80 million.

Speaking to the German News Agency in London, Edwards said: “I think it is very likely that artificial intelligence will become a good thing for humanity. I’m also sure there will be some bad things (caused by it). “But usually, whenever one looks at the big technology developments around them, and something is bad, it is not because of the technology, but because of humans’ misuse of it.”
This approach is reflected in the film “The Creator,” which emphasizes the human side of robots. According to Edwards: “We are not the good guys,” adding that the film does not provide clear answers regarding what the future will hold: “I don’t have the answers.” The answers are not interesting at all.”
In addition to the soundtrack by artists Hans Zimmer and Steve Mazzaro, the stunning photography creates an attractive and charming atmosphere, although the viewer does not necessarily know that Zimmer is participating in the work.
“The idea was to provide a soundtrack that didn’t actually sound like something Zimmer did,” Edwards adds.
