Director Gareth Edwards is responsible for perhaps the best Disnay era Star Wars movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story but he has also directed the 2014 movie Godzilla and End Day.

Movie Synopsis

Amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua, a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife, is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war… and mankind itself. Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory only to discover the world-ending weapon he's been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child.
