Sci-Fi Epic That Bombed at the Box Office Now Dominates Hulu Charts: “I started to cry at the end”
One of last year’s most stirring sci-fi action movies is beaming up the Hulu charts. The Creator, directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Godzilla) and written by Edwards and Chris Weitz, is currently number one on the Hulu streaming charts.
The sci-fi opus was years in the making, exploring the risks of nuclear war and artificial intelligence. Expect lots and lots of sci-fi like that in the years to come. Still, The Creator is as exciting and original a sci-fi epic as we’ve seen in some time, and now audiences can check it out for themselves.
Check out a trailer and synopsis below:
Per Hulu: As a future war between the human race and artificial intelligence rages on, ex-special forces agent Joshua is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI. The Creator has developed a mysterious weapon that has the power to end the war and all of mankind. As Joshua and his team of elite operatives venture into enemy-occupied territory, they soon discover the world-ending weapon is actually an AI in the form of a young child.
While The Creator received decent reviews from both critics and audiences, it was a financial failure at the box office, grossing just $104 million against a budget of $80 million. While audiences continue to clamor for more original content, there remains a consistent theme of that content being available with simply no one showing up to see it. Luckily, The Creator is creating a second life of its own on Hulu.
Check out what fans are saying about the epic below:
I agree. While The Creator might not be a masterpiece, it is one of the most stirring sci-fi originals in recent years. If you haven’t had the chance to check it out yet, what are you waiting for?
