Like a mythological creature, Gareth Edwards emerged from thin air in the 2010s, generating a massive shift in the movie industry. In six short years, the British filmmaker directed the underrated kaiju flick, Monsters, a good American Godzilla remake (for once), and an astounding Star Wars spin-off, Rogue One. With three hits under his belt, moviegoers were pumped to see what the esteemed director did next.

After a seven-year long hiatus, Edwards is back with what appears to be his most ambitious feature yet, The Creator. Amidst a war with highly advanced androids, special agent Joshua (John David Washington) is tasked with killing the AI's architect. After encountering the machines' creator, Joshua switches sides, forcing him to protect the very people he swore to destroy.

Reception for the futuristic blockbuster was very positive when presented at CinemaCon, with critics saying the production design makes "Blade Runner look like child's play."

Is this another sci-fi classic in the making? Only time will tell.

The Creator will be released on 29th September 2023.
