with the power to end the war-and mankind itself.

## Sgoti tears the arse out of “The Creator”. ##

### Start ###

0:58, [wisdomlib:](https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/nirmata “Nirmata means something in Hinduism…”) Nirmātā (निर्माता):—(nm) a constructor, producer (as of a film etc.); builder; creator. \

02:58, Congressman says “we’ve banned AI in the western world…” \
After the deep integration of “AI” display in the previous clips, \
very cool images of robots, it is not reasonable to believe the entire \
society will simply ‘remove’ their beloved help. We shall see. \

They have “AI” but the video and audio quality was poor; like \
microphone and camera technology never progressed. \

03:43, The year 2065, Ko Nang New Asia.
A strike-team with no sense at all, shinning ultra bright spotlights while \
emerging from the sea (because no one will notice several bright lights \
exiting the water) and while in the worst squad formation I ever seen; \
those bullpups were different, in a stupid design kind-of-way (LoL). \

Also there seems to be some kind of active scan in the \
background. Hopefully we’ll learn more about those blue scans. \

04:32, A flying ship is producing those blue scan beams. I guess everyone \
from Ko Nang New Asia knows never look towards the sky or they may \
go blind. \

06:19, They found “an American”. I knew those “Hey look at me, \
I’m a dumbass” spotlights would be an issue for that strike-team. \

06:35, Why design a human face but leave the back of the robot’s head exposed? \

07:09, Hey lets waste time dragging this human to the shake over there \
so we can kill him then complain about being out of time. No point in \
just killing him where they found him then reporting the incident. \

07:47, Joshua says the quiet part aloud, “Call off the raid”. Maya \
walks in on Joshua, Mr. Undercover Bozo, and learns he is very bad at \
his job; so she wants to kill him. \

09:42, Maya manages to run through a hail of bullets, in the dark, \
without getting shot. There must have been a few hidden battles because \
all fighting magically ends before Joshua chases after her. Everyone on \
the boat with Maya goes blind because a robot tells them to look up at \
the blue laser beams scanning the area then a nuke is dropped on Maya \
and the gang because, , , reasons. \

10:10, Five years later.
Joshua has the worst alarm clock ever; and the worst morning routine ever.

11:40, Ground Zero Los Angeles.
Looks just like the real Los Angeles (LA). Sucks for Joshua, he left a \
house on the beach with a hot babe just to return to a sh-thole called LA. \

12:50, female2 has a panic attack because the robot doesn’t \
run GNU/Linux; or because she thinks it’s a real person (which is \
stupid). Why employ humans to venture into a radiated wasteland? I forgot, \
“We can’t let that there AI steal our jobs”. \

13:14, The robots are just ewaste; can’t connect to the severs to \
receive security updates. Must be made by Apple. \

16:47, General Andrews has a job and Joshua, the guy that said the quiet \
part aloud in the last mission, is the only man alive that knows the lay of \
the land. I guess they forgot to debrief him. Also, don’t they have the \
skynet scanners (Project Nomad)? The one that nuked Joshua’s ol’lady. \

18:14, military-babe1, “Do you recognize this location”? That was \
a terrible hologram. Why not show a video? They could have brought a \
phone, with a video, maybe even text it to him (Joshua); anything but \
that terrible hologram. \

19:32, military-babe1 explains the mission; go into hostile territory, \
without assistance from their beloved government, then stand near an \
object that will be blown up (with a nuke). Literally no extraction plan \
was mentioned and the whole team is in high five mode. \

A substitute teacher reads 4 short horror tales from her favorite book and the bachlourette party story was worth watching the whole movie and I would love to hear someone else’s thoughts on the movie.
