There's nothing worse than a film that grabs your interest and makes you look forward to it, to then let you down with utter disappointment.
The Creator is one of those films.
The good It's visually stunning, with amazing effects, settings, scenery, vehicles, motion capture, character design etc. It definitely delivers on the eye and ear candy.
The bad The writing is woefully lazy with potholes littered everywhere.
The pacing is painfully slow. It livens up here and there with action scenes, but overall it never really gets going into the sci-fi adventure I hoped for.
A lot of scenes feel disjointed and pointless at times.
The cast is mostly terrible with actors delivering either deadpanned or over the top hammy performances.
The entire premise of the gun-ho US Army marching across continents unopposed at all is just downright ludicrous and doesn't fit with the world it's based in at all.
I'm summary, looks great but also an utter snoozefest.
So disappointed.
