The Creator (2023)

I love it.

It's visually stunning. Not just the cinematography itself, but everything you see in the frame: the characters, the real locations, the visual effects (A.I. robots, simulants, the NOMAD, etc.).

The acting is great across the board – especially, especially by Ms. Madeleine Yuna Voyles. I have no idea how she did it. I was moved to my core. I have not been so rocked by an actor's performance since Mckenna Grace's performance in Gifted. Speaking of...

It's emotional and moving. And it's thought-provoking. This is one of those movies that sat with me afterwards.

And Hans Zimmer's score? Phenomenal.

Also, the sound design team did an amazing job as well. I thought the sound effects for the variety of fictional weapons, ships, etc. were visceral and natural and (I'm not sure the right words, but) unique and perfectly fitting.

I'm 100% sold on this movie. I was moved the first time I saw it, and even more so this time.
