If you were ever worried about artificial intelligence and how they could replace jobs in the future, it would probably be the least of your worries. This is all thanks to the new movie, The Creator. Here's The Creator age rating if you're planning to watch this film.
The Creator is a new film that tackles the controversy of AI in society. In addition to the risk of taking over our jobs, The Creator film explores the question: can AI and humanity coexist peacefully?
With this nature of content, we ask, is The Creator suitable for kids to watch?
What is The Creator Story About?
It seems like the premise of The Creator is taken straight out of The Terminator movies since they both explore the same narrative. The official synopsis of The Creator reads:
"From writer/director Gareth Edwards comes an epic sci-fi action thriller set amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence. Joshua (Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Chan), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war… and mankind itself. Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory… only to discover the world-ending weapon he’s been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child (Voyles)."
Even though the film has some similarities to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the director of The Creator says he was inspired by a different film: Stephen Frears' 1984 movie, The Hit.
