YIKES
Can studios really not just wait until they've got a finished script? Not sure if that's the issue here or overzealous editing. Either way, this is a gorgeous-to-look-at disaster.

I was able to overlook its faults until the third act. I soured on it at that point.

I kinda wanted to see this, but have heard nothing but bad things. Still, I'm desperate for anything at this point.

It's the perfect counter-argument to the people bemoaning IP products and sequels and yearning for original material. This 'original' story is the most unoriginal movie I've seen in years. Being pretty is not enough!

Think this looks interesting. Disappointing if it ends up being poor.

The budget on this was apparently $86MM. That's a huge "Holy Cow" if true. This thing looks light years better than any MCU entry and I'd even argue it looks better than Avatar 2. Wow.

It was filmed with a Sony DSLR you can buy at a big box store.

Every studio executive, producer, and director spending more than $150MM should be fired.

better than Avatar 2?, thats impossible. Have you seen all the digital work on the water scenes?

It's more then just technical merit I'm judging this on. Was Avatar 2 harder to pull off technically? Probably. But it sure didn't give me the same feeling Creator's effects work did.
Chris Ryan had a great comment on the episode of The Big Picture where he and Sean covered the movie that rings true for me:
...when you see something that you feel like you've basically never seen before on the screen, your soul leaves your body. I'm not thinking about whether the seat's comfortable or...(if) I'm going to get back in time to see the second half. I'm...totally at the mercy of this director.
There was never a second of A2 where I felt like that.

I am aware of how they made it and was thinking about how they made it throughout the movie. Therein lies the fundamental difference between A2 and The Creator.

Wow this SUCKED hahaha. I'm kind of shocked at how bad this was, and I don't think it looked especially good. It's impressive if they really made it for that budget (I am skeptical) but it was just a very flimsily written, extremely cliché Lone Wolf and Cub story with some basic Asimov shit, every turn of which can be easily predicted far in advance, and which looks fairly generic in terms of its filmmaking. Bad bad bad
