- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: As I thought more and more about The Creator, I realized that apart from one element, it is a very dull film that is a pastiche of other, better films.
- Aren Bergstrom @
- Excerpt: It’s hard not to think of a lot of great works of science fiction when watching The Creator, which speaks to the film’s familiarity despite it not being based on any existing IP.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: While The Creator does not attempt to break new ground for the genre and could improve its overall emotional appeal to make it more thought-provoking, those looking for an ambitious, if flawed, original sci-fi will not be disappointed, thanks mainly to Gareth Edwards and its stunning visuals.
- [New] | Samuel Castro @ El Colombiano [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Un signo de cuánto ha cambiado la industria audiovisual en los últimos años es que nadie piensa hoy que es un disparate decir de una película que tal vez tendría que haber sido una serie.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: It’s an ambitious effort that fails to hang together meaningfully. Full of big ideas, it plays them fast, loose, and occasionally hackneyed as it lopes between lethargy and acumen.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Edwards’ (“Monsters”) stab at an epic sci-fi extravaganza is an odd futuristic look at the U.S. refighting the Vietnam War with AI instead of northern Communists as their target within a story that feels like its been told before.
- Candice Frederick @ HuffPost
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: In the hands of writer-director and sci-fi veteran Gareth Edwards, these familiar story notes feel almost renewed when combined with the dramatic visuals, creating an engrossing film experience that manages to show a little heart before its end.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Science fiction saga succeeds because of its magnitude and sweep. I enjoyed the scope of the world that director Gareth Edwards created.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Looks great, but the plot falls apart if you poke it and makes no attempt to grapple with AI’s potential. Instead it renders its robot people as a racialized Other in a clunky metaphor for bigotry.

- Excerpt: Wait, this movie only costs $80 million???
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: The Creator is a biblical sci-fi epic packed with exceptional performances, a powerful score and stunning visuals! Gareth Edwards weaves together a poetic tale compounding artificial intelligence and the human condition.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Add the gorgeous production design, breathtaking special effects, and a pitch-perfect ending and this thing is firing on all cylinders. Here’s hoping more people watch it sans expectations to discover just how good it really is.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: The more the filmmakers strive to pull on our heartstrings, the less we care, so flimsy is the setup and so one-dimensional the protagonists.
