Review of Transcendence

It tries to be big and ambitious by having a good source of ideas but the screenplay itself appears to be lost in momentum by having a lot of flaws, being slightly boring and illogical. It is a science fiction that combines conflicts of supercomputer, misuse of technology advance, humanity and moral ethics but ended up unclear whether to focus on which element. The story has chosen to just simply progress without going further in details; which might leave an impression of not to confuse the general audiences by being straightforward. However, it is considered fine for Wally Pfister's directional debut as he compensates by providing the film with a great cinematography and visual effects. While the performance of Johnny Depp does not seems to be outstanding, at least, the reveal of real intention of the main character at the ending seems to be favorable.
