Thoughts on The Creator

From a bad. fricking arse cyberpunk visual feast, this is fricking awesome. I love cyberpunk stuff and this delivers such beauty in spades.

In a lot of other areas, it just doesn’t work. But I don’t really care because I loved looking at the movie so much.

There’s a lot of style over substance. They try and cover so much ground that the actual plot feels unearned. This does feel like it should have been a two parter or trilogy. Watching it, you can tell a lot of stuff got cut out and there’s just strange choices. Like I feel like there were multiple scenes were important shots were cut that would clue us in on what’s happening.

And there’s just plenty of other movie errors. For example, the only black guy in Indonesia not being found within 30s while being hunted down in a major city.

Because while there is a human element that works on some level, it is way too front and center to really do anything for the movie when a majority of it is so stupid. I wondered if this movie was foreign a few times because some beats apps rated almost foreign.

Still, this movie is bold. I liked it. You will probably like it too if you’re willing to just go watch lots of action and just move past the pesky melodrama/weirdness
