THE CREATOR - Movie Review
A Movie about AI that was probably written by an AI.
Premise: AI progresses to the point of 99% of most movies of this type. Human-like robot helpers doing all of the day-to-day work (AKA Slaves) while their owners live happy lives. A nuke goes off in Los Angeles and it is blamed on rogue AI. So, of course, the US Military Complex it pointed towards wiping out all AI.
Meanwhile, in Asia, AI is embraced and AI entities live side-by-side with humans as equals. Of Course the evil US Military Complex declares war to "protect us all against AI" The fact that the nuke bomb in LA was caused by human error is not relevant.
Our hero is an undercover member of the US Military Complex that is married to the leader of the peaceful AI movement. Seems that they have created a weapon. It turns out to be an AI child with the ability to control technology. Chaos ensues.
Problems with this movie:
Firstly: The US Military Complex continues to use AI for soldiers, intelligent bombs, etc... The only difference is that they are not humanoid. They also have huge tanks, advanced weaponry, etc...
Secondly: Asia, having embraced AI and spent the past decade living side-by-side in harmony appears to be living in shanty-towns while the US Military Complex has built a large, slow moving, hovering craft that drops big bombs on them. Apparently, embracing AI and living side-by-side means that you've spent all of your technological efforts on building more human-like robots rather than anything resembling defense weaponry.
FUN: The CGI is top notch. The plot is laughable.
Preachy: Military Bad. AI good.
Thanks Alot for reading
