1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Bread the flick with Beno on ninety six FM. Good

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: morning morning, good to see at that time in a

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and what have you got for us? Well,

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: the creator. But before I get into that, I've got

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: a confession again, I'm a sucker for sci fi. Right,

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: that's probably the genre that I just, you know, like

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: I really can't feel it off of. And not just

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: any old sci fi, because some of it is pretty naff.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. I like the so called intelligent sci fi,

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: which is you can tell when you've watched one of

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: these films because the cinematography is beautiful. It's got some

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: sort of high brow, high falutin theme that you probably

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: don't understand completely. I tell your mates that you do

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: Versus Plan nine from Out of Space exactly exactly understand.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: And you've almost always got some kind of iconic classical

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: music as that just repeats throughout the score. Hans Zimmer,

17
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: You've got boossy mahla, you know. So you've got these

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: films like Interstellar Arrival, Yes, Gravity, you know, there's so

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: many District nine even a little bit like that as

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: well a tenant, and not everybody likes those types of movies,

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: but I just can't get enough of them my boat,

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: and so I was very excited to see The Creator

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: because it is very much in that category. It's directed

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: by Gareth Edwards, and so for people who are not

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: familiar with this dude, he is the guy who directed

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: Rogue One, which was the kind of the Star Wars

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: spin off movie a few years ago, which controversially I

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: say is the best Star Wars movie of all time.

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: The out of the hole, out of the whole batch. Like,

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I love Empire. Empire Strikes Back

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: as a classic great the original band, Well, that's a

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: classic as well. It is known. It's called Star Wars

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: and it came I didn't mean it anymore. I can

34
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: already tell by the time your voice lest I'm not

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: going to win this argument. So let's move on and choice.

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: He's so Gareth gave his Rogue One, which is a

37
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: real classy Star Wars movie, looked beautiful and poignant, emotional depth,

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Didn't have a happy ending,

39
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: which is, you know, kind of a different take on

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: Star Wars movies. And so he's come along with the

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: Creator instead of the Sith and Daf Vader and the

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Empire is the bad guys. The bad guy in this

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: new movie, which is set on Earth. Artificial intelligence. Oh,

44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: it's very topical, very and so it's every movie is

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: going to be about AI, you know, in the next

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: few years or written by AI. It's hard to even

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: know these days. And so it's set in the year

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: twenty sixty five on Earth. AI is very much a

49
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: part of everyday life, but the Western world has banned

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: it because an AI dropped a nuke on Los Angeles.

51
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a deal breakoup, yeah, yeah. And

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: so then so a robot dropped a yeah, and an

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: AI system Yeah, I know, but it've been programmed. Yeah.

54
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: So the Western world has declared war on artificial intelligence

55
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: because not every part of the world thinks AI is evil.

56
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: In New Asia, which is a collection of the Asian

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: countries in the year twenty sixty five, they love AI.

58
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: It's part of the everyday life. They have AI police

59
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: AI relationships, and so the West is kind of like

60
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: invading New Asia to try and target AI systems without

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: hurting as as many humans as they can. And to

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: do that they have an undercover soldier played by John

63
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: David Washington, who of course his Denzel Washington's son, and

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: so it's his job to kind of find the AI leader,

65
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: and that's the basic premise of the film. It kind

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: of all goes off the rails a little bit when

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: a mission goes wrong and he forms this unlikely alliance

68
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: with an AI child who also happens to be kind

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: of like the ultimate AI weapon. And so when that happens,

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: you find everybody on the AI side and everybody on

71
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: the West side both want to catch John David Washington

72
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: and this AI kid. They're on the run. Lots of

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: action and adventure. Term well, it's very Terminator too with

74
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: the kid. Yeah, it's very Elysium starring Matt Dames, and

75
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: also he's a throwback. It's also a bit like The

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Golden Child starring Eddie Murphy. Right, Okay, And so the

77
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: film is beautiful. It's got clear to learn by Debussy

78
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: in it because all these intelligent sci fi have to

79
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: have that kind of ping plumping. Yeah. So in the

80
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: score and the visual aesthetic of the film, the design

81
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: of the tech and the world is amazing, Like it's

82
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: absolutely bonker. Some of the best CG effects you'll ever

83
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: see in cinema. But because it's so much like these

84
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: other films, there's a lot of it that's not really

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: super original. Some of the dialogue is pretty cliche. The plot,

86
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, kind of feel like you've seen it before.

87
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: But you can kind of overlook a lot of that

88
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: because it is just so beautiful to watch, and if

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: you like sci fi, this is a film that you're

90
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: really going to dig. If you're not a huge fan

91
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: of sci fi, you probably sit there poking holes in it,

92
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: because there are definitely some holes you can drive a

93
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: semi trailer through. But Gareth Edwards, you know, great British

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: director who's got a good eye for this type of genre,

95
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: and he's done a very solid film. Okay, And part

96
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: of the problem of you loving the genre so much,

97
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: you're going to take my review very judging about it. Yea,

98
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: all right, Well, how many Dave's not here, man? Do

99
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: you giving you? I'm going to give it. I'm gonna

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: give it three and a half. Okay, to be fair,

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: I do feel like I've seen it too enough. Never,

102
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't even watch these sort of movies. The creator,

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: the creator, Thank you for Thank you guys,
