Transcendence

Transcendence is full of plot holes that even some primary schools kids may find obvious, and takes much away from the film. The fact that a teenage girl who works in a cafe is the head of our terrorist group is also quite bizarre. Motive of the characters seemed weird and the directing teams feels like they just did whatever they felt like doing without really thinking about the outcome and the effect that it could have on the audience. Yet, it is still a though-provoking film with decent acting, it is just one that doesn't make too much sense.

Max Waters: I spent my life trying to reduce the brain to a series of electrical impulses. I failed. Human emotion, it can contain illogical conflict. Can love someone, and yet hate the things that they've done. Machine can't reconcile that.
Evelyn Caster: Can you?
Max Waters: Yes.

[first lines]
Max Waters: They say there's power in Boston. Some phone service in Denver. But things are far from what they were. Maybe it was all invevitable. An unavoidable collision between mankind and technology. The Internet was meant to make the world a smaller place. But it actually feels smaller without it. I knew Will and Evelyn Caster better than anyone. I knew their brillance. Their dedication to what they believed in. And to what they loved.
