Director Gareth Edwards returns with his first movie in seven years this week. The Creator, an ambitious, AI-centric original sci-fi thriller, is Edwards’ long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. That film was famously plagued by behind-the-scenes conflicts and reshoots that, according to numerous accounts, ended up taking a lot of Edwards’ creative control of the project away from him. He has now returned with a sci-fi film that was, for better and worse, seemingly made exactly how he intended.
