In The Creator, the Human vs. A.I. War Doesn’t Compute

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:18:09 GMT

A grand, blustery mess of a would-be blockbuster, Gareth Edwards’s The Creator is all premise, all exposition, all the time. And yet you hardly ever know much for certain. It begins in backfill high gear, with a deftly assembled montage of news footage of an alternate history: A.I.-fueled robots became part of global society sometime in the late 20th century, until they somehow caused a nuclear blast that cratered L.A. Now they’re outlawed, and the U.S. has built a vast ship that roams the globe, unilaterally bombing droid enclaves. The last region where droids and people coexist happily, southeast Asia (“New Asia,” we’re told, though it looks like the old Asia), is now the location of a new, A.I.-built weapon that U.S. forces must find and destroy. Or else. Got that?Maybe not a bad set-up for a third-person shooter, which is often what The Creator feels like: a confusing video game you can’t play. The military hard-asses in question (led by Allison Janney) recruit Joshua (John Davi...

He’s playing well.”Purdy enters a big Week 5 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys while ranking near the top of the NFL in most passing categories. He’s third in completion percentage (72.3%), eighth in yards (1,019), second in yards per attempt (9.1), tied for 12th in touchdown passes (five) and is one of three quarterbacks (along with C.J.

OAKLAND — The California Highway Patrol will pay $7 million to settle a civil lawsuit alleging wrongdoing by three officers who in 2020 shot and killed a 23-year-old man and wounded his girlfriend, court records show.The suit, filed by the family of 23-year-old Erik Salgado, sought damages from the CHP over the June 2, 2020 shooting that led to protests and calls for criminal charges against the officers.
