Sci-Fi flicks are always hard to figure out. Sometimes they
present storylines that are so far out, there is no way they could be true.
Other times, they tackle subject matter that could become reality (or already
exists), a fact that can make for an eerie trip into its world. Next up is another
Sci-Fi movie, the 2014 A.I. entry Transcendence.
Plot/ A scientist's drive for artificial intelligence, takes
on dangerous implications when his consciousness is uploaded into one such
program.
I remember seeing the trailer for Transcendence and hoping
that it would be awesome. While I missed it in theaters, I was able to finally
grab it at Family Video. Unfortunately, it did not live up to what I was hoping
for. Sure, the movie was not terrible, as it did have some solid performances, decent
cinematography and direction, and an interesting (yet disjointed) storyline.
However, the uneven script featuring unrefined story layers draws it down and
leads to uneven event pacing throughout, which suffocates the atmosphere. In
the end, while this movie is far from great, it also does not rise to the
potential that it contained. Yes, it had some entertaining moments, but it is
in no way anything memorable.
