“The Creator” is a timely dystopia movie about Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the not-too-distant future. Drawing both visually and thematically (and heavily) from a long list are readily apparent borrowed elements from “Blade Runner,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Avatar,” “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” and “The Terminator.” British filmmaker Gareth Edwards directed the not-bad Star Wars movie “Rogue One” (2016). “The Creator” is his first movie since then.
