Directed, written, and co-produced by Gareth Edwards - the director of the Star Wars film Rogue One and Godzilla (2014).

A film about a future war between mankind and AI, and a man recruited to hunt down and kill the elusive "Creator".

Personally, I am glad to see an original big-budget sci-fi film back in theaters. Book adaptations and such are nice, but I miss these original blockbusters.

 

[Husky]

I often find myself liking a director's first film the most. Gareth Edwards' first film Monsters (2010) is my favorite from him.
Very happy to see him return to telling original stories. Looks sick.
Kill the damned bots.

 

[N0S]

Ive seen the whole movie now

 

[Aggelos]

Oh Gareth Edwards is back, after Godzilla 2014 and Rogue One.

First half of that trailer was terrible, not gonna lie. But second half looked pretty dope.

 

[jason10mm]

Yeah, might give that one a shake.

First half got me thinking about this film though, but that doesnt seem to be the twist.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Looks interesting, and I like Gareth Edward's as a director. He's got a knack for impactful visuals. I'm in

I thought Monsters was impressive for its budget, but it was quite boring. I loved Rogue One though, amazingly fun and gripping. Best production of the Disney era.

The Creator trailer didn't give me any good vibes, seemed boring also. I think it'll be a good looking movie, but it won't be anything special storywise.

 

[Run-M-Run]

Rogue One was the best thing come out of modern Star Wars (before Andor happened). I'll definitely give this a go. Hated how the trailer spoiled so much already though - why do they keep doing that?

Yep!

 

[Salz01]

Looks good. Something original. Will see it.

There's nothing wrong with a book adaptation. Many of the greatest movies of all time were based on existing short stories and novels. The real problem is that Hollywood is deadly afraid of trying anything new that's not already an established property, We're seeing much more original story telling on TV than in the cinema.

looks fun time popcorn flik

The fuck? The trailer gives it all away

 

[Trilobit]

Either Washington was bored out of his mind during filming, or he has the charisma of a wet blanket.

I hope not. In that case there wasn't much to give away.

 

[jason10mm]

NGL, he seemed the same way in TENET as well. Maybe he has some other stuff under his belt I've not seen but it really feels like he is coasting on his name more than anything with these high profile roles.

 

[Kenpachii]

Looks good will watch.

 

[kruis]

Either Washington was bored out of his mind during filming, or he has the charisma of a wet blanket.

The latter of course. And why is this even a question?

 

[EviLore]

Looks good. The more ambitious scifi the better. Felt like it gave way too much away for a teaser though.

 

[BritBloke916]

Wait… were humans the 'evil destructive drones' all along?!

 

[AJUMP23]

I am interested. I like a cool action sci-fi film.

 

[SJRB]

Visuals are stunning.

 

[Irobot82]

Yes please.

[VN1X]

Visuals are stunning.

Mate... you are stunning! Have you ever thought about that?!

 

[Trilobit]

Visuals are stunning.

Give me a live-action Animatrix: Second Renaissance with these visuals! Gorgeous!

 

[MegalonJJ]

AI turned on humans and dropped a nuke....

Isn't that what Skynet did?

 

[Hydroxy]

looks fun time popcorn flik

With the prices of popcorn these days, hell no.

 

[RavenSan]

I'm in -- I'll take any kind of decent, original sci-fi at this point.

[FullMetalx117]

I'm a fan of the director after Rogue One and the subject matter is right up my alley - blade runnereqsue. I'm in

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I was interested in this until I saw the trailer which spoiled the whole plot of the movie

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Is this movie any good?

 

[Salz01]

Will watch it. When it hits iTunes.

 

[DeafTourette]

Is this movie any good?

September 29th.

 

[sono]

So the war against AI will be fought with machine guns.

 

[kurisu_1974]

Damn it's still early here and I thought Tyler the Creator made a sci fi movie.

 

[jason10mm]

So the war against AI will be fought with machine guns.

AK-47s as the weapon of the future confirmed.

Why is this in Theaters but Dune isnt. Goddamnit

Looking forward to this as well but goddamnit

Movies like this need a good month alone in theaters for good word of mouth (if it earns it, of course) to generate buzz and let it succeed. Cramming films back to back weekends is good for theaters and guys going out every weekend but it really just hurts any film that can't come with positive press already, hence all the sequels we get nowadays.

 

[EverydayBeast]

AI feels like an event that's thousands of years in the making.

 

[HoodWinked]

felt very Neill Blomkamp when I first saw the trailer

 

[INC]

Looks like a more future version as babylon ad, story wise

 

[Dr.D00p]

Looking good for this...

 

[scoobidoo112]

Reviews look pretty positive. Got my IMAX tickets booked for sunday. Can't wait!

 

[jason10mm]

"Humans are the bad guys...." oh fucking christ, THAT story AGAIN? I still wanna see it but robots imitating "the best parts" of humans whilst humans revel in their worst aspects in contrived scenarios is sooooo played out. I feel like we already being conditioned by Skynet to be "AI submissive" after DECADES of "AI=bad" programming

 

[Tieno]

I will do my part and vote with my wallet. I'm going to see it in cinemas this weekend.

 

[FullMetalx117]

Ready for this!!
