The Creator - long on eye candy, short on everything else
Pros - absolutely gorgeous movie 'world'. And lots of 'Claire de Lune' on piano, both of which I love
Cons - everything else. Really too many to list. I'll simply say this....after being told your team is being dropped far behind enemy lines, and NO ONE is going to be on your side...why insert in a big, rocket powered Osprey wannabe and why have bright white lights on all your weapons?
Oh, and the USA is the bad guy.

I had tried it a short while back. Turned it off after about 15-20 mins. Garbage movie.
This is where my signature goes.

Ha that’s all I kept thinking. Let’s infil using our bright as white lights ohh and just in case the enemy doesn’t pick us up let’s shine a giant ass blue sensor beam from orbit right over us.
The movie was gorgeous though and I generally liked the story it told.

I could forgive Nomad, as I assume there was nothing New Asia could do about it. I still have questions about the mega-tanks and jogging bombs.

I outright laughed when the jogging bombs started in. So much crap in this movie it is hard to find a place to start.
Honestly I think Hollywood just wants to keep Denzel happy by employing his son. He was awesome in Ballers but fuck, every other movie sucked. Tenet was unwatchable and this was just yuk.
I think if you have a movie where the star is a wide receiver then you should hire Denzel's son. Otherwise think again. That is not to say Jr was the worst part of this movie, far from it, but I don't think he is good either. Laurence Olivier can't make a bad script work either though.

Something else very impressive is this movie was made on a $75 million budget. Just like Godzilla Minus 1, if I didn't tell you that, would you have guessed it?

Other than the jogging bombs having a “personality” so to speak I could totally see something like that being an extremely viable weapon.

Good sci fi film that I would say great, if not for America bad, white man/woman bad. Asian good.

I wasn't a fan, unfortunately.
