Highlights I see

1. Scientists really do this: After acquiring superpowers, the first thing to do is to expand the laboratory, carry out multiple directions in parallel, and do experiments day and night. After 2 years, the results have been very fruitful, which is really gratifying.

2. New ideas for AI. Building AI cannot be simulated, but replicated in its entirety.

3. Future technology calls for young people to join. The technology depicted in the film is dazzling. I sincerely hope that young people who watch the film will always keep their pure vision, exclude other film critics' "rigorous" criticism of the film, and join the cause of scientific research.

4. Motivate people to go beyond themselves. The film made me reflect on goals: graduation, job, house. There are people in the world who set their goals higher: to improve the world.

5. THE END OF THE MOVIE BEYOND. A common dilemma in a film like this, where the protagonist gains superpowers through misfortune, is to highlight the superpowers in order to shock the audience's senses, and at the same time have to let it fail reasonably at the end. And in addition to being reasonable, there must be a certain sublimation of the theme. This film provides an excellent answer to this conundrum. The theme at the end: love. His practice of worrying about the world is actually to achieve the ideal of the heroine's goodwill: to change the world. In order to regain the trust and love of the male protagonist, he took the initiative to sacrifice himself. The surprise in the plot and the improvement in the theme were achieved.

6. The flaws do not hide the beauty or is a fish ruined in a pot of soup? The visual effects are exquisite, the layout is rigorous, and the plot is ups and downs. Although some details still need to be scrutinized, in my opinion this film is a sincere work by the director.

    The first third of the conceptual architecture is worth three and a half stars, and then it starts to go downhill. From filming to performances to sets, it is so cheap that it is too much to give one star. The lesson is that if the script is immature, don't take it out to show your eyes, it's better not to shoot.

    Even if the cinematographer of "Inception" is the director, and even if the shadow of Noland was shot, I have absolutely no interest in showing a 3D version in China and a 2D version abroad.

Transcendence quotes

  • [from the trailer]

    Will Caster: [Distraught] You've changed... have you fallen out of love with me?

    Evelyn Caster: [Reassuring] No

    Will Caster: [Demanding] Have You?

  • Will Caster: It just doesn't make sense. They're afraid of technology because of it's threat to humanity. Yet, they don't flinch at taking a life. So, obviously, they're not big on logic; but, there's no shortage of irony.
