I’m only going to tell you what’s only in the trailer:

John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman, Tenet) plays a US soldier/spy tasked with finding “Nirmata”, the Creator of the AIs who launched a nuclear bomb on Los Angeles, starting a war between the US and “New Asia” (combined territories of East, South and Southeast Asia). Apparently, the AIs have a weapon that can end humanity. But when he finds it, turns out it’s a little girl…

Based on this, I was not excited to see it. It seemed like just another AI/sci-fi US solider type movie that I was completely done with.

I went to see it because it was an original movie with a budget of $80 mil, that all the reviewers said looked drop dead gorgeous, putting $300 mil Marvel flicks to shame. And boy is that true. The movie looks amazing.

And the story, while basic, is 100% an analogy for the Vietnam war mixed with sci-fi and Avatar. The Americans are 100% the bad guys throughout.

We went on Saturday. It was evening. And despite that, the theater was half empty. It’s sad. I hope the movie at least makes its budget back. Go see it if you can. Take some friends or family. You’ll see some gorgeous visuals of SEA and sci-fi scenes and it might radicalise some folks.

Plus the acting by the kid is… by god. Little kids can make or break a movie. This girl was phenomenal. She plays a huge role and she out did the main dude.

So. Yeah.

The Creator is like Avatar by about the Vietnam War told with AI. It’s pretty good.

Yeah, this quote is awful and Cameron is definitely an ass. You want more proof Cameron is bad? Read up about the making of the Abyss.

It doesn’t change anything about the themes expressed in the actual movie/movies, which are genuinely anti-capitalist and anti-colonialist. I like how you saw no reason to try to provide any criticism of my actual reply. Have you even seen Avatar/2?

I also don’t understand why you keep wanting to argue again and again about Avatar, which was nothing more than a small mention in my post about a completely different movie.
