Transcendence (2014)
Director: Wally Pfister
Cast: Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murpy
Genre: Sci-Fi Drama
Transcendence is an intriguing sci fi film about a brilliant scientist and his attempt to upload a human consciousness into a supercomputer. There by creating an artificial intelligence so vast that its intellect is far greater than the combined IQ of all the humans who have ever lived. Lurking in the shadows is an anti-technology terrorist group who believes creating an all powerful A.I. computer will spell the end for mankind.
This film didn't get great reviews but bear in mind many people want to see action, explosions and fantastic scenes. There's some action in the film and some mystery too, but it also tries to be a little different than your average block buster movie.
For those who think Johnny Depp is always playing weird characters...give this film a look. He plays his role as: subtle, down to earth and reserve, showing he has a wide range of acting ability.
There are some plot holes but if you overlook those, the story and ending are unique. I bet you can't guess how this turns out?
