Holy shit, how have I not even *heard* of The Creator?!? Did they skimp on the marketing for this one?
And don't forget director Gareth Edwards' first feature: MONSTERS - the poster image is literally two people not-quite-hugging while surrounded by monsters! Then they absolutely hug in the movie. And the process of this latest film makes sense, given Edwards' guerilla filmmaking roots when he made Monsters. (He shot without a license, sneaking all the shots in the forests/jungles and few urban areas. If you've never seen Monsters, I highly recommend it. It's 75% a love story in a post-apocalyptic setting, 25% a kaiju movie. It's why they gave him Godzilla.)
Oh I've definitely seen Monsters and you are right about the poster image. And yeah, exactly. regarding the filmmaking approach. I watched an interview we he spoke about going back to his roots and doing films his way as opposed to the mega tentpoles with hundreds of cooks in the kitchen putting their sausage fingers into your meal. I'm just shocked with how much better it looks then full CGI. Even Monsters look good. Inspiring to see someone breaking free of the chains. I've long been interested in changing the way production works. Whats become the norm is bloated, wasteful and inefficient. Eh, too bad the script wasn't better... But def run out and see it, it won't be around long and its a true Imax experience
