Wally Pfister’s directorial debut
Transcendence finally opened in theaters over the weekend. The
film has a few interesting moments and concepts, but overall is something of a
letdown, failing to deliver on a great deal of potential. Flat, dull, and
stiff, only touching on the inherent issues in the most superficial way, the
film borrows heavily from generations of movies that have come before. Damn
near every scene makes you remark to yourself that it reminds you of this or
that scene from one movie or another, so we put together a list of titles to
watch once you’ve sat through the singularity.
WARNING: If you’re reading this, we assume that you’ve
actually watched the movie, and as a result, spoilers are about to start flying
willy-nilly.
