27 November 2023
In 2055, a nuclear warhead is blown-up in Los Angeles and humans blame an AI for the explosion. As the result, most of the nations declare war on AI to save the human race. However, people from the New Asia continue to live with AI. Fifteen years later, the US military has developed the ultimate weapon called NOMAD to destroy the AI in New Asia that resist. Sergeant Joshua Taylor (John David Washington) is sent undercover to New Asia to find where the creator of the AI named Nirmata is hidden and he falls in love with the New Asian Maya (Gemma Chan) and they get married. Maya becomes his wife and is pregnant, when the US military team launches and attack where Josha is, exposing his cover. Maya flees with her AI family in boats, but the NOMAD explodes the ships. Five years later, Joshua is summoned by General Andrews (Ralph Ineson) and Colonel Howell (Allison Janney) to return to New Asia to destroy a new weapon called Alpha O and developed by Nirmata that may be capable to destroy NOMAD, but Joshua shows no interest. They show a video of Maya alive to convince Joshua to join the team that will be moved to destroy the weapon. He succeeds enter in the hidden compound and find a simulant that has the appearance of a girl and gives the name Alphie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles). Instead of delivering to Howell, he flees with Alphie to meet his friend and former commander Drew (Sturgill Simpson) to find what Alphie is and the whereabouts of Maya. But he is hunted down by the police and by Colonel Howell.

"The Creator" is the most original Sci-Fi recently released by the industry. The plot has a different view of the artificial intelligence (AI), showing them as pacific machines that would like to coexist with humans; on the other hand, American government is evil and manipulative. The opposite of Terminator franchise that give a warn against the AI> Even the destruction of Los Angeles, as explained by Harun, performed by Ken Watanabe, was caused by a human coding error that the U. S. government blamed on AI. The special effects, cinematography and direction is top-notch, and deserved a better screenplay. The beginning is too abrupt and only explained in flashbacks, and the viewer begins to watch the movie without understanding the situation of Joshua and Maya. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Resistência" ("Resistance")
