TRANSCENDENCE (Theatrical Release USA 2014)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

Transcendence—highly sophisticated, mind twisting, intelligently written, no-fault-found script—examines the possibility of achieving utopia via fusion of human and artificial intelligence. A refreshing story that examines a true soul mate love affair between two scientists and the outcome of that profound relationship.

Storyline

Scientist Will Caster (Johnny Depp) and his wife, Scientist Evelyn Caster (Rebecca Hall), develop a computer that thinks and responds due to an interface that relies on the biological transfer of a monkey’s mind into its core processors. When Will suffers a debilitating health issue that gives him a month to live, a desperate Evelyn suggests that Will’s mind replace the monkey’s mind.
