CINEMA
THE CREATOR
Machines Against The Rage
Since breaking through in a big way with 2010’s Monsters, which mixed a compelling relationship story with giant creatures and an indie sensibility with some impressive effects, writer/director Gareth Edwards has, it’s fair to say, had something of a rough go of it. He saw box office success with both 2014’s Godzilla and 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but was beset by talk of behind-the-scenes drama. Also on a difficult journey is Joshua (John David Washington), a man living in the world of Edwards’s latest, The Creator. After advanced AI is developed and starts causing trouble for humanity – including a nuclear weapon levelling Los Angeles – mankind has gone to war with the synthetics.
