The crew talks about Gareth Edwards’ The Creator. Looking past the AI propaganda that this film is (have we learned nothing?), this is a decent enough film that approaches the cusp of greatness. There is the story that Edwards told and then there’s the story that’s right below the surface that would have made this film great. It’s still a beautiful film with an engaging enough story. It’s just a bit disappointing it didn’t go all the way.
