--SPOILER ALERT-- SPOILER ALERT-- HUUMMMMMMM--
"Transcendence" is Mr. Pfister's very first directorial debut... and boy does it show. Unfortunately, he should probably stick to cinematography, because that is where he truly shines. This film is a bloody mess; from the pacing, to the dialogue, to the story, to the character development, to the unimaginative usage of the over-worked, over-wrought, still in its infancy, nano-technology. It was, quite literally, horrible. Johnny Depp's character is suddenly resurrected at the end of the film, into what, by what... who fuckin' cares! The whole convoluted mess clocks in at just under two hours and by that time you have no connection to any of the characters, good or bad; therefore you care not if any of them die and wish, on some level, that you might get back the minutes you wasted watching this film.
"Transcendence" the ironically titled film of a much less intelligent movie gets my dreaded RICE CAKE review.
