Transcendence Review

[Steve Withers]

Cas Harlow takes a look at Wally Pfister's directorial debut and finds a thought-provoking film that suffers from trying too please the blockbuster crowd rather than simply pleasing itself.

Depps 3rd flop in a row but I like the look of it....

Thanks for the Review, Cas. Watched this free on Prime yesterday. Interesting idea, but I felt it never really nailed it. Two bits that I found strange:-

How did the Paul Bettany's character suddenly morph from mild-mannered scientist into a gun-toting steel eyed warrior?
And what a waste of Xander Berkeley. I was pleased to see him listed in the caste, but his character has about one minute of screen time as the scientist who simulated the monkey brain, and his only line I believe was "Aaaaaargh" as he died!
