The Creator

By on February 3, 2024

Spoiler Alert – This post will discuss the movie The Creator and might contain some mild spoilers. If you haven’t yet watched this wonderful human vs AI/robot movie, you might wish to skip this post.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched The Creator, a SciFi movie featuring a war between humans and AI/robots and we absolutely LOVED it. It is from the director of Rogue One. Rogue One is our absolute favorite Star Wars movie thus far and The Creator definitely has that same feel to it.

One of the many things I loved about The Creator is…

How I could relate to the characters in it.

Specifically the robot child.

The robot children in other movies I’ve watched were…well…they didn’t truly act like children. I was aware when I watched them that they were robots.

In the Creator, the robot child, Alphie, had so many human quirks I forgot she was a robot. She ran like a kid runs. She had that lightning fast emotional recovery time children have. She looked at the world with a sense of wonder. She could be won over with a promise of ice cream. (smiles) She was ‘real’ to me.

And I think that’s key to great storytelling – the characters have to be real or relatable to viewers or readers. We need to know someone like them. We have to recognize at least some of their quirks in the people around us.

The Creator does a great job at doing this.

Note: This movie made me cry SO hard. It is definitely a three tissue watch.

Strike Zone

A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.

***

While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.

She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.

The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.

Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.

Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.

Desperately.

Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.

When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.

She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.

Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.

Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
