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.

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!

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.
Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

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

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:

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
