Doesn't work?

Transcendence (2014)

Directed by Wally Pfister this film stars Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara and Morgan Freeman. A specialist in AI is shot and given radiation poisoning by anti-AI terrorists and has his mind uploaded to a computer to try and extend his life.

This film got massively bad reviews but was not nearly as bad as I expected, there are tons of really interesting elements to the story even if sadly they are never explored properly. Most of the time this film feels like a failure to fulfil it's promise rather than an outright failure. The large supporting cast often find themselves a little wasted but I do not think this film is the complete write off some do.


3/5
