Transcendence – our review
Disappoint the genesis at the time of cyberspace – ecological means – staged by the duo Pfister-Depp.
Wally Pfister and not ‘not the first, but it was a bit’ that we watched again the effects of their desire to direct a feature film by a director of photography. Stated, we mean that ‘our hands had to pretty much everything Christopher Nolan (Memento to Inception and the various Batman). But the onset and ‘also the script, in this case, and somehow it feels …
The play on words will be ‘corny (sorry for the lack of originality’), but really it is a debut not at all transcendental unfortunately. As we said, especially at the level of writing. Directed and scenes, unlike other beginnings of the genre, do not report any particularity ‘, they’ would think of the film mentioned above, if we did not know the link, but really the effort of suspension of disbelief ‘required by Transcendence and ‘truly remarkable …

These are his moves that follow, but also that the film follows. Not always in a consistent manner, unfortunately, given the haste in overcoming certain narrative impasse with the tears too abrupt to be credbili, or motivated by equally unrealistic motivations glued to the screen. By the will ‘in fact to create a sort of god’ technology (Annunciation?) First appears (miracles?), Able to create (in the true sense of the word) an army of disciples, the ‘revelation’ is a prelude to an ultimate fact ‘ creation ‘and the decision to’ become a man ‘…
What, if anything, more ‘sets it apart from a trend already’ developed very well by the army of the 12 monkeys and other (but not related to spy and action) and ‘an interesting subtext about issues related to privacy. A very salient issue in the United States, especially after the ‘War on Terror’ (somehow also mentioned here) has made much of the population willing to trade their private security with a suppository.
