Watch Transcendence For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

As scientists are on the verge of a new breakthrough in A.I. technology, the line between Humanity & Humanity's evolving into something much more is clearly waning.Though the movie doesn't show too much of the potential of an AI, but it does show us a lot of perspective and views on the idea, and what misunderstanding and doubt could lead to. That's where fear of AI originates.If a intelligence such showed in the Transcendence is made, no amount of human effort can alter the course of it; that's final. And in actuality the process is already going on, just look around you.

I found the story very inspiring about the future. I think this movie is so underrated.

Will, a brilliant mind in artificial intelligence, who invented the smartest computer known to man has only a couple of weeks to live after being shot with a poisoned bullet. His wife decides that the best thing she can do is to upload his conscience into such a computer. Miraculously, it works, but the new Will evolves too quick and requires more and more power. At the same time, a group of people try to develop a virus that can stop virtual Will's lust for knowledge before he becomes too powerful to be stopped.It's a brilliant idea which wasn't exploited to its fullest, as it had much more potential, rather than seeming superficial in some important aspects. I find it hard to believe that someone can create a colossal sum of money into one's account without the government or someone to realize this fraud and do something about it. I find it even harder to believe that this entity can rebuild a whole city with a huge laboratory underneath without somebody authorized asking any questions. His wife's attitude is also to be questioned as she does almost anything she can to support her "husband" without even thinking for a second what consequences her acts may have.Besides these, I have to say that it is mostly interesting, with unbelievable experiments and future science. It's impressive how an AI can evolve so fast and do such great acts in a relatively short time. Unfortunately, its simplistic finale is expected as the most of the plot and leaves a sense of superficiality which you cannot ignore. It starts very well but it isn't able to keep the good pace till the end, oscillating from interesting to boring like a sine. I am somewhat disappointed by it but that's life, you can't be right all the time.

A man uses advanced technology to connect people, heal the injured, and grant people superhuman abilities that make their lives easier. He is the villain.A group that hates this man and wants to destroy his work shoot him with a poisoned bullet, kill dozens of researchers, torture and kill innocent people, and generally act like technophobic terrorists. They are the heroes.With such an idiotic mix-up in the film's basic premise, it was never going to be great, but it's compounded with rubbish action, stupid science, completely illogical plotting, and nonsensical character motivations.This film is a waste of a big budget and a great cast. I hate it more than words can express.
