Movie Reviews

• Transcendence fails in this arena thereby making the production as a whole feel bloated and unsatisfying

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• too bad. Despite its looks, talent and pedigree, "Transcendence" never becomes the movie it could have been

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• this post-apocalyptic vision of an unplugged tomorrow is supposed to be horrifying, but in truth, the thought of a world that has hit the restart button, however reluctantly, is actually kind of refreshing

  by Michael O'Sullivan [Washington Post ]

• this is as predicted, but I didn't expect the end to come in a movie of complete and total incomprehensibility

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]

• nothing in this movie feels authentic, not even its overriding fear of all science and technology, which seems copied from countless old sci-fi films

  by Rafer Guzman [Newsday ]

• it's all pretty predictable, and Pfister and his cast never do anything to confound our assumptions

  by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger ]

• is an ambitious movie, but ultimately there's too much "artificial" and not enough "intelligence"

  by Joe Williams [St. Louis Post-Dispatch ]

• if you want to see a great movie about the dangers of artificial intelligence, check out what is still Steven Spielberg's best movie of this century, "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" - and skip this transcendentally awful bore

  by Lou Lumenick [New York Post ]

• a far-fetched, futuristic snooze-fest that often defies its own logic

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• "Transcendence" is a movie that's of two minds. It's well-grounded, but also over the top
