Next week, Disney is releasing a brand new 20th Century Studios film, “The Creator”, in cinemas around the world on September 29th 2023, and some critics have seen the film early and have been sharing their initial thoughts on the new film.

“The Creator” is an epic sci-fi action thriller set amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, “The Creator” stars John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, and Allison Janney. Joshua, a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife, 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.

The film is directed by Gareth Edwards, with a screenplay by Gareth Edwards and Chris Weitz from a story by Gareth Edwards. The producers are Gareth Edwards, Kiri Hart, Jim Spencer, and Arnon Milchan. The executive producers are Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Nick Meyer, and Zev Foreman.

Here are some of the early reactions to “The Creator”:

#TheCreator is a masterpiece of an #AI story. It had me in tears. Watching a film without knowing how it would play out was such a joy. Gareth Edwards shot a beautiful film. John David Washington deserves to be recognized during awards season. Still thinking about it days later pic.twitter.com/ZH0lbrDBr3

#TheCreator

I thought it was gonna be like #District9 level

Instead, my jaw was on the floor as I witnessed a movie on the level of #Aliens #Terminator & #BladeRunner

Spliced with #Akira

🤯🔥😍😱

#TheCreator is an ambitious sci-fi odyssey with a profound take on humanity, acceptance & freedom at its core. John David Washington gives a career best performance, while Madeleine Yuna Voyles proves she’s a young actor to watch. The third act surprised me, this film WENT THERE! pic.twitter.com/2UODyqmt15

Gareth Edwards doesn't miss with The Creator. The movie takes place alongside Terminator 2, Alien, and Star Wars as absolute smashing examples of how sci-fi can parallel our world. It's easily among the best films of the year. #TheCreatorMovie #TheCreator pic.twitter.com/bWUDxwIhbH

#TheCreator is astonishingly good. Best film of the year and best sci-fi film in ages, in my opinion.

Gareth Edwards flips expectations really impressively for a visceral, touching, and creative story of humanity.

Genuinely loved it. You have to see this one. pic.twitter.com/2IH7YTeSFh

Just got out of a special screening of #TheCreator and talk about a visually stunning and emotionally satisfying sci-fi spectacular.

Gareth Edwards and co should be incredibly proud, and major kudos to the team at @ILMVFX for pulling off some next level wizardry. pic.twitter.com/VaN83OiJ1I

I’m so impressed with what #GarethEdwards pulled off on #thecreator. He’s made an original sci-fi movie in a time where making original movies on this scale is next to impossible and the film delivers on so many levels. Seek this one out and absolutely see it in a movie theater. pic.twitter.com/sQGSGqImG1
