Transcendence. 2014 Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara, Cillian Murphy. If you liked The Lawnmower Man then you might want to see this. I like the tagline "mankind's greatest achievement may be it's last". There is a Stephen Baxter book of the same name but unconnected to this film. A great cast. The trailer looked good. Scifi thriller about a scientist named Dr Will Caster. An expert in A.I. Is creating a supercomputer that'll store human memories, intelligence, emotions. There are anti technology extremists that want to stop him from playing god. Written by Jack Paglen, directed by Wally Pfister. Cert 15 5017239142758 Alcon Entertainment. This dvd doesn't have any bonus features. Worth reading the Amazon reviews. The scene starts in Berkeley, California. Looks like an apocolypse in the future had taken place. Paul Bettany played the computer named Jarvis in the Iron Man trilogy. He narrates in the opening scene. Flashback to five years earlier. Will with his wife Evelyn. For full cast list see IMDB. The focus was to make life better for the human race. Chaos always follows.
There are discussions about this film, concerning the outcome, theories and meanings behind the story. Just google it. Max is a colleague of the Casters. Joseph is leading a team of programmers. Agent Buchanan is from the FBI. Investigating the crimes of these Luddites. Thinking of Terminator, Robocop, Matrix, I Robot, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Alien, White Noise, Tron. Spoiler: in the end the names scroll up a screen. These are called End Credits. I recommend Her. This film is out to buy/rent/download now. Rebecca Hall does have nice breasts. Partly a story of revenge. Will's soul is uploaded to a machine. He then gains so much power it could be deadly. Good special effects. The use of nano technology is interesting. I recommend that you see this film.

Cert 15 Endemol/Channel 4 production 2012. Region 2 dvd. I'm selling this on Amazon.co.uk now. The new series is on tv soon. It features Karen Gillan. Opening dialogue "that Stephen Fry is a badman". Great acting from all the cast. There's a council estate block called 'Peter Andre House'. Cloth is Scottish, a heavy drinker, miserable as his wife died. Good dialogue. Daisy Beaumont, Navin Choudry also star. Anne's surname is pronounced 'An old man'. Like the way the cops enter the crime scene. Dodging the yellow barriers. DC Anne heaving at the sight of a picture of Piers Morgan. Even though there's been a murrrderrr in that room. Strange opening credits. Jack Cloth continues to face the camera. Slightly based on A Touch Of Frost and other detective shows. Set in London. It's like the characters are being serious in what they say. Natasha the crime scene investigator is hot as is DC Anne. Tongue in cheek. A few innuendos. Tom Boss played by an actor from The Green Wing. Attractive granddaughter of the man is shown.
This is a dvd worth seeing. The bonus features are quite short. I like the theme music, it's more dub/trip hop. I had written other things about this show. quite weird and silly at times. Similar to Tv Burp.
