"Edwards' ambitious, immersive film should prompt the intoxicating awe that you might have got from The Matrix and Avatar – the feeling that you're seeing a rich vision of the future unlike any that has been on the big screen before."
★★★★★ Nicholas Barber, BBC.com

"An inspired, soulful piece of sci-fi, the endlessly stunning visuals all in service of a heartfelt, sensitive story. Gareth Edwards is the real deal — this is fantastic, enveloping cinema."
★★★★ Alex Godfrey, Empire

"An increasingly rare piece of mainstream cinema that proves CGI can be good for art when placed in the right hands."
★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)

"It’s an intriguing, stimulating, exhilarating movie, which really does address – with both head and heart – the great issue of our age, AI."
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

"The Creator reverberates with that sort of doomy relish: it’s been too long since a good time at the cinema felt this serious, let alone vice versa."
★★★★ Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph

"There are also plenty of narrative shortcuts to arrive at an otherwise stirring third act - though all this admittedly doesn’t matter to an audience with tears in their eyes for a robot child without a soul."
★★★★ Lucas Hill-Paul, Daily Express
