I was very excited when I saw the first trailer for this, but the fair to middling reviews tempered my enthusiasm. I think I went in with just the right expectations, because I thoroughly enjoyed "The Creator." It is gorgeously designed and executed Sci-Fi film with fantastic performances throughout. I definitely recommend it if Sci-Fi is your jam. -Brian
