A big component in what made Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story such successes is that, while both projects heavily incorporated visual effects, they also offered audiences a sense of imperfection that made these realities much more believable. Edwards’ latest film, The Creator, similarly had to find the right balance of impressive visual effects that felt authentic, with a new featurette from the film’s home video release diving more into finding that balance. You can check out a clip from the featurette above and grab The Creator on Digital and rent on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Vudu on November 14th and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 12th.
