Transcendence is a 2014 film about artificial intelligent. In particular, Johnny Depp plays the character of Will, who ends up "transcending" and creating the most advanced and complex AI, able to be self-aware. Of course, this has huge repercussions and there are groups out in the world who fear and are against this type of advancement. They aim to destroy and hold back any developments int his area. Will succeeds and over the course of the film, it tries and plays out the philosophical arguments, such as the AI going too far, seemingly taking out the world. Unfortunately, Transcendence strays far too much onto the unbelievable area, especially with its depiction of nano technology. Furthermore, it ends up feeling like a Terminator film with the machine taking over the world and a group of humans to try and stop. The plot can be predictable and there is no doubt there are some big plot holes. There can be bits of the film where the pacing was off and you lose interest but on the whole, it was entertaining enough to keep your attention.
