The Creator

A new original big-budget SF movie. Well, not that original, but not directly based on anything.

Lots of overly familiar imagery - fast laser guns and ominous vehicles like The Terminator here used by humans against AI, the huge circular blast door with a similar surprise behind it from Akira, Wētā doing similar work from Chappie and a heroic Appleseed-y faceless but expressive robot, some very Simon Stålenhag looks and landscapes.

Gemma Chan so so typecast. Here she plays a human who is also copied by robots.

Calling it The Creator instead of the more interesting and more used Nirmata fits the first draft feel overall.
