This colossal sci-fi thriller from Gareth Edwards features John David Washington and Gemma Chan in vast mysterious panoramas and vertiginous vistas which deserve to be shown at Imax-plus scale; it also shows that Christopher Nolan isn\u2019t the only British director in Hollywood thinking (and acting) big. After a stint making franchise movies such as Godzilla<\/a> and the enjoyable and underrated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/a>, Edwards has now crafted this ambitious original picture, co-written with Chris Weitz, which is closer in spirit to his ingenious 2010 debut Monsters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Creator is an old-fashioned science-fiction actioner with some ideas to match to state-of-the-art digital effects, in the tradition of Ridley Scott\u2019s Blade Runner or Neill Blomkamp\u2019s District 9<\/a>, with a creeping colonialist\u2019s fear of the unknown to match that in Coppola\u2019s Apocalypse Now. And given that Edwards has served some time aboard the Star Wars mother ship, it shouldn\u2019t be too surprising to find some holograms in the mix and a certain dustbin-sized droid which whimpers something poignant about what an honour it\u2019s been to serve his comrades before lumbering out to face the enemy on a kamikaze mission.<\/p>\n
