Avatar was at its core a very simplistic anti-technology, anti-military hate fest. The military was presented in exactly the same way the American Left thinks of our military, a bunch of mindless conscienceless monsters who follow the most horrific orders with glee. However, they are at the same time completely incompetent at using the most destructive of their technology against the Noble Savages. Oh, and don’t forget the protagonist Jake out-nativing the natives in the worst tradition of Tarzan. And of course technology was the death of Earth and was therefore the actual ultimate evil. If the Corporation was as ruthless as stated there would have been no avatars, since they could detect unobtanium from orbit they would simply have bombed the “home tree” from orbit and gone in to mine without distraction. But it wasn’t really that ruthless, or that incompetent. It made no sense. Mind you Avatar was extremely pretty to look at (thanks to a whole lot of very advanced technology) but unless you have the emotional and intellectual development of a four year old, it’s unwatchable unless you turn your brain off.

A guy once told me about seeing Star Wars for the first time when it was in theaters back in 1977. The thing that stuck with him the most was the moment on Tatooine where C-3P0 is waiving at the Jawas while standing in front of a giant dinosaur skeleton. Obviously Lucas didn't create Tolkien level depth to his lore, but little things like that conveyed that there was a vast universe here and we're only seeing one story in it.

@blah2blah65

That dinosaur had a name. Betty. Betty the dinosaur. She lived a peaceful life just eating naked Jawas like any good dinosaur would do. Then the Jawas developed hooded technology (AKA, clothing). Betty, like all her dinosaur friends, could no longer identify the Jawas because their hooded clothing made them disappear into the background like John Cena. So she starved to death. Poor Betty.

I thought first, the light coming from the station were a scanner searching for robots. And I was annoyed that the designers let it flicker, so that even if they flew directly over a target, there would be a big chance to miss it because the laser was currently off, and because they would nit use the whole available width of the ship to scan. Other things about the station that had me question things: Why does a military base have reaserch centers and plantations? Why do they have crosshairs directly underneath when the munitions flies hundreds of miles away? Why is a military base publically reachable? (I might misremember that one) Why does the eastern military not oppose a big effing ship violating theyr airspace? (I did not really pick up the discrepancies on orbit hight by myself, but what the hell???)

Some guesses at answers -It has research centers because it's the main base of the anti-robot forces, and all militaries do their research in their most critically important command centers (Source: XCOM). The plantations are needed to produce the food needed to sustain the hundreds of guards our heroes totally had to fight their way through, because why would a giant military base only have 12 guards? - The contractor the military hired to build it said they could get an orbital laser cannon working under budget and in the time frame, but as none of the prototypes worked they just slapped some laser pointers on it and claimed that was never the plan. -I think thats not a plot hole and they had to fake/create an emergency to justify landing there. -As Napoleon said, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake". If your enemies wish to spend a trillion dollars + massive operating costs on a wildly impractical method of delivering missiles that could’ve been strapped to a plane or two, then let them.

I just spoke to a friend who had seen the movie. When I asked him what he thought of it, he gave me a four letter review, which was, and I quote: "Toss."

The main problem with this film is that the studio wanted him to make Rogue One again, but different. There are many similarities in the plot, but many of the new elements simply fell flat and the world building was not convincing. I checked out when the friend poked the child with a screw driver for 30 seconds and by doing so, discovered her unlimited potential.

Great review. I went to see The Creator at the cinema. I thought the trailer looked impressive in terms of special effects, but it did looked a bit shallow. The film never really went past the plot of the trailer in my view. The carnage of the giant tanks was just so over the top that it got exceedingly boring. The 'AI' was obviously the good guys!

Lloyd is a better media reviewer than almost anyone else on youtube today. Not fussy, not full of himself, not trying to decipher the symbolism of every fuckin tree branch

All great points Mr Beige, wondered why this film didn’t really click for me beyond the visuals and here we have it

Battlestar Galactica had the cyborgs, the Cylons, resurrected if destroyed by transferring their "soul", their consciousness and personality, into a body double (there was a limited number of Cylon "models") as long as a "Resurrection Ship" was close enough for the data transfer. apart from similar base character traits for each model, no two Cylons were actually alike due to different personalities resulting from different experiences. this was a great concept and a great show.

I think my favorite thing about Lindybeigh is the incredible range of topics he can cover. From historical lectures (my favorite) to production commentary. This channel is one of my favorite content creators in the history of KZread.

A movie about AI that feels like it was written by ChatGPT. Like seriously, it's like Gareth Edwards opened up ChatGPT and gave the software pretty much every tired Sci-Fi movie trope as a prompt. Oh and Denzel's son can't act to save his life.

"Once Upon a Time in Mexico" is a decent-ish 2003 American action western-type film written, directed, produced, photographed, scored, and edited by Robert Rodriguez. Is the same in concept and uses the early 4K cameras that enabled an 'ordinary person' to make flims - as Rodriguez explains in the extra bits on the DVD. But twenty years on we find that content is still king, and Lindybeige is really just saying that no matter how much tech you have, story writing is the real driver.

Great to see you back Lindy! 🎉🎉🎉

"World Building" = The 13 episodes of "Firefly" followed by "Serenity". Then you get to mourn forever that no more exists.

I absolutely love the variety of topics you speak on.

Visually appealing with tired tropes and unrealistic depictions of AI and lacking character depth, I love the general message of empathy and acceptance but so much of it was just unbelievable to me. One of the aspects that really caught my attention that no one else seems to be mentioning much is the depiction of "New Asia" with a lot of American stereotypes intact. It really felt like it was trying to be a Vietnam war film, in my mind. Also, the robotic limbs! Yes, I'm glad you mentioned those! I really expected there to be some discussion about people with cybernetic augmentations (something that would make them sort of halfway between human and AI). One more wasted opportunity. And remote, wireless communication is one of the biggest fears people have of AI, I think. Being able to coordinate virtually instantaneously has huge advantages and is tech that is ubiquitous even nowadays. Obviously, it would be possible for future AIs too. That clunky story scene really caught my attention because of their use of the word "species." The AI says that the two "species" (meaning human and AI) could live in peace. It's obvious that whoever wrote that intended to send a message of empathy but I don't think it's scientifically accurate to call AI (even self-aware AI) a species. Though, that does open up an avenue of discussion that is worth exploring, in my opinion: the question of how we define life and what subsequent rights come with that. It's one that so many good sci-fi works have explored and for good reason!

Many of the things Lloyd brings up I feel are answered in the film. And the film is displaying a "protracted war," which means the conflict has gone on for a long time, the two sides have dissimilar forces and tactics, and the society has compensated from the carnage. I am curious if Lloyd has watched any of the "Ghost in the Shell" shows and movies.

Awww. I had great hopes for this. Been a while since a trailer had excited to see a movie.

Interstellar suffers from this too although it still manages to be a decent enough middle of the road sci fi, nowhere near as grandiose as it claims to be. It suffers from the M.Night Shyamalan kind of obsession with “the big twist” which isn’t really that big a twist at all! 😂 And The Dark Knight Rises makes Batman Forever look like a cinematic masterpiece in terms of writing! Sure there are some great scenes, but overall the film makes zero sense and was clearly done just because he was contractually obliged to do it!

My team’s effort was called G.L.I.B. Edwards’ team won with an amazing short called Factory Farmed! Which made most in the competition look amateur by comparison! 😂

A recurring theme in many modern films: special effects, action scenes and rump pumpy take precedence over such old fashioned aspects such as acting, characterisation, or a plot.

And yes - I switched onto your channel Lloyd because of your reviews of such films as Troy (crap archery in) and Iron Clad. I would happily watch more of this.

Feels like a slightly better Neil Blomkamp movie. Kept me mildly entertained whilst watching but I can't really remember what happened in it.

I had to check the name half way through . I wanted to check where it was shot as some of the locations looked familiar to me.

I liked the Creator. Like Lindy says it touches on many interesting ideas. And makes us think about them. It obviously made him think about them. Not everything has to be explained. I can come up with good reasons for why things are like they are in this movie. It works well enough for me and if the movie got us to think about it, it maybe achieved it's goal.

One thing that did interest me was the idea that the "bad guys" used robots too, but their lack of trust in robots meant that they used them as walking bombs. We were clearly meant to regard these little bombs as quirky, whilst their deployment was deliberately ruthless, gave me a certain 40k vibe, a child-friendly, with colouring pens, 40k vibe, but still a vibe.

Splendid as always

I feel like you'd do a brilliant job creating a "pitch meeting" video for some of these, uh, favorite films.

The first hour was good I thought it was going in a direction but then it shifted entirely to a quick and odd ending that just felt rushed. Sad because you did invest in the characters.

I saw the thumbnail for your video and though "I should probably watch the movie before watching Lloyd's video". I started the film and realised that I'd actually watched it already, about a week ago. Also not a great sign.

Thanks for the warning Mr B. Sounds like he cdn't be arsed to make it believable.IMHO,those extra few weeks/months spent on creating the world and fleshing out the characters in your own head (for free) before filming wd make such a difference to the final film. I remember watching the Battlestar Galactica series remake and laughing at the low cost props.The mechanics on the interstellar spaceships of the future had exactly the same toolbox as me but just sprayed it gold i.e. "Feck it.Yeahj,that'll do!" Someone was definitely putting the "me" into "lame"! I suspect that the reason almost all modern space scifi is seemingly shot by candlelight is so they don't have to put any thought,effort or money into the sets in our world of huge HD screens and pause buttons. Maybe you should crowdfund a sci-fi/mythology film eh? I'd kick in a few quid. Iron Sky was 100% crowdfunded and that film rocked! Use the farce.
