The Surprising Film That Inspired 'The Creator'

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGareth Edwards left the most emotional scenes until the end so Madeleine Voyles could build a strong relationship with John David Washington. "Madeleine's a very quiet, shy girl," Edwards said. "It's really hard to become her friend. I tried the entire movie, and I think she let me a little bit in, but not fully. But [John David] cracked the code and became like a big brother to her--and her best friend." The two were "inseparable," Edwards said. After wrapping a take, when Washington would walk off set looking for some quiet time alone--"trying to keep in that headspace before you do the next take"--Voyles would simply "run after him, hold his hand, and start talking about a toy she really likes. And he's such a sweetheart, he'd go down to her level and start getting really excited about what she was saying."
- GoofsIn the forty year future while attempting to sneak up on the AI positions, the US soldiers attempt stealth while wearing bright lights and using flashlights to get around when night vision technology has been around since the 1960s.
- Crazy creditsMost of the crew is credited with their nickname in the middle of their name, in honor of Alphie and the "simulants".

Featured review
The Creator uses its budget masterfully, but it's not without its problems
This is a lesson to the movie industry on how to use a budget. 80 million dollars was used splendidly. The cinematography was amazing, (Not terribly surprising because Rogue One) acting was great, and the story was decent.
It wasn't without problems though. The story moves at an increasing pace and at some points you lose track of what's happening. Suspension of disbelief will be needed in some moments.
The theme of the story was to make AI to be more than just robots. I think they succeeded there, but at the expense of the humans. Most of the humans in the story ended up being one faced - except for Joshua.
The dynamic between Joshua and Alfie was by far the best part of the movie. The acting was great between the two.
It was a good movie. Not great by any means, but I'm all for supporting a movie that is trying something new.
Overall, I think Gareth Edwards should be given some more projects. AND filmmakers everywhere should learn how a budget should be used.
