\"transcendence<\/p>\n

While there are many moments in which I was hoping to transcend the experience of screening TRANSCENDENCE, long after the credits rolled and I had left the theater, this freshman directorial effort by award-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister would not leave my thoughts.\u00a0 Screenwriter Jack Paglen tackles thematic issues of morality and mortality, humanity, ethical responsibilities, artificial intelligence, sentient beings, self-awareness, reasoning and in a large sense, taking the \u201cGod particle\u201d to the level of intelligent singularity, not only fascinate, but compel discussion.\u00a0 TRANSCENDENCE will have you asking the questions, \u201cHow far is too far?\u00a0 Is one man, one machine, destined to become God on earth? Is the fantasy of a \u201cStar Trek\u201d Borg collective within the realm of factual possibility?\u00a0 Or is the idea of an android seeking his humanity our destiny? Where does man end and machine begin?”\u00a0 But, is that enough for the film?<\/p>\n

The issue of singularity – uploading the human brain into a computer, duplicating every synapse, proton, neuron, thought, idea, every iota of knowledge known to man – has long been a fascination in film.\u00a0 Often with a fantasy or horror bent to it, the idea has often seemed preposterous until now.\u00a0 Paglen and Pfister have grounded TRANSCENDENCE within the modern world and everyday reality, with everyday (albeit brilliant) people, capitalizing on not only the beauty of Mother Nature but the stark clinical futuristic nature of science and technology, contrasted and infused with saturation of color and human emotion.\u00a0\u00a0 So rooted in \u201cthe now\u201d, Paglen and Pfister bring TRANSCENDENCE right to our front door – the good, the bad and the terror of it all; unfortunately, the humanity of it all doesn\u2019t quite make it through that door.<\/p>\n

\"transcendence<\/p>\n

Leading the field of Artificial Intelligence is Dr. Will Caster.\u00a0 Joined by his equally talented researcher wife, Evelyn, and best friend neurobiologist Max Waters, the three have made leaps and bounds with their research, most notably with Caster\u2019s pride and joy – PINN, a sentient computer which he believes has the capability to one day possess the collective intelligence of every person who has ever lived on Earth.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A lofty ideology, Caster\u2019s work – and that of others inspired by him – has awakened anti-technology\u00a0 \u201cterrorist cells\u201d across the country via a group called RIFT, a group that will stop at nothing to prevent the furtherance of TRANSCENDENCE.<\/p>\n

Attacking technology labs which RIFT has methodically infiltrated, all research is destroyed but for one – PINN.\u00a0 But with their attacks, RIFT does the unthinkable as they gun down Caster with a polonium infused bullet giving him mere weeks to live.\u00a0 Not wanting to abandon his research and fervently believing in his research and the idea of TRANSCENDENCE,\u00a0 and with Evelyn not wanting to lose Will, they hatch an even greater plan, upload and meld Will\u2019s brain with PINN.\u00a0 Although ethical considerations of \u201cshould they do this\u201d are briefly considered via Max Waters, who assists Evelyn and Will in the endeavor, the three go ahead with the unthinkable.\u00a0 But is their creation Will? Or an omnipresent, power-hungry, self-made God out to control the universe?\u00a0 Just how far will Evelyn and Max go with Will\u2019s TRANSCENDENCE.\u00a0 Just how far will mankind let them go?<\/p>\n

\"transcendence<\/p>\n

For Bree, leader of RIFT, Max is the key to stopping Will\u2019s TRANSCENDENCE.\u00a0 An avid student of Waters\u2019 philosophies,\u00a0 she sees the possibility of mankind\u2019s salvation through him.\u00a0 Kidnapped and eventually convinced of the correctness of RIFT\u2019s position (of course, during the apparent many years since his kidnapping there is nary a mention that this brilliant scientist is missing), Waters becomes not only a tool for RIFT, but the go-between who must convince the FBI, the government and his own mentor, the sage and pragmatic Professor Tagger, of the truth and gravity of the situation at hand.\u00a0 He must also serve as the link to Evelyn and Will, as well as reappear in Evelyn\u2019s life, a life which now consists of a bunker-like existence in the middle of the desert helmed by a transcendent Will who knows all, sees all, commands all as in a Borg collective, while moving ever closer to his own ultimate goal. (This situation also gives rise to yet another story hole with an above ground solar panel array that stretches for miles in the middle of nowhere and yet no one notices?)\u00a0 The question now becomes has Evelyn\u2019s own obsession and love for Will blinded her?\u00a0 Has she lost her own moral compass?\u00a0 Did she ever have one?<\/p>\n

\"transcendence<\/p>\n

As Will Caster, Johnny Depp is at his robotic monotone best, exhibiting an almost sardonic presence while his vocal elocution sounds like a cross between the Dick Tracy villain \u201cMumbles\u201d and a drunken Jack Sparrow.\u00a0 With all of the advancements in technology within the world of Will Caster, one would think speech elocution and articulation would be as advanced as everything else, not to mention the fact that scientists, by their very nature articulate well when they speak.\u00a0 Distracting to say the least.<\/p>\n

Rebecca Hall falls short, completely lacking in chemistry with Depp, yet she brings a facial conviction metaphoric to Evelyn\u2019s obsessive determination, making the character resonate for the bulk of the film.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Hall pushes the grim mugging and clenched fists too hard and loses any palpable empathy.<\/p>\n

But all is not lost with performances thanks to Kate Mara and Paul Bettany.\u00a0 Mara is simply stand-out.\u00a0 As Bree, she creates and maintains a stare-down creepy vibe that when set against an over-bleached, split-ended hair job, begs the question of Bree\u2019s own sanity and moral compass.\u00a0 With Mara, however, less is always more and the tacit performance fueled by ocular expressiveness that cuts through you with rapier precision is captivating, hypnotic even.<\/p>\n

When it comes to Bettany, he sets the tone as storyteller, opening the film with narration and going back five years to the beginning of the end, but narrates with a soft and tender note differentiating from the character of Max himself within the context of the story.\u00a0 Bettany brings a warmth and truth to Max Waters that mirrors the internal conflict of mankind as a whole; we see the internal debate of reason and awareness.\u00a0 We welcome it.<\/p>\n

\"transcendence<\/p>\n

Particularly effective are Morgan Freeman and Clifton Collins, Jr.\u00a0 Freeman, as researcher and government liaison Joseph Tagger is truly the voice of reason, providing rationale and commentary on each thematic element presented within the film.\u00a0 We hear the \u201cpros and cons\u201d through Freeman\u2019s strong, yet comforting and expressive, voice.\u00a0 Clifton Collins, Jr. blows my mind with his performance.\u00a0 As local contractor Martin, Collins delivers the duality of being Martin, an honest man working for an honest dollar and helming the Caster project in the desert, but then presents with the mannerisms and emotional pacing of Johnny Depp\u2019s Will.\u00a0 It\u2019s a fascinating balancing act to watch and never moreso than when Martin is \u201csaved\u201d by the transcendent Will.<\/p>\n

It comes as no surprise with Wally Pfister at the helm that the visuals of TRANSCENDENCE are outstanding.\u00a0 Bringing his own cinematographic experience to the table, Pfister and his cinematographer Jess Hall, shoot on film for a more tactile fingerprint.\u00a0 Visually key is that Pfister knows light, he knows color, he knows framing, he knows staging and he knows how to use it all to tell a story.\u00a0 Capturing the beauty of Mother Nature in a sunlit garden or the grey shadows of rain-heavy clouds over the desert, Pfister and Hall continually remind us of earth, nature, humanity.\u00a0 Judicially implementing color saturation, our subconscious is touched with the surreal nature and falsity of the seemingly comfortable world created by TRANSCENDENCE.\u00a0 The yellows are too yellow, the blues too blue, the clinical white on white too sterile.\u00a0 There is great visual distinction within the lensing and production design creating a continual discussion of \u201cIs it live or is it Memorex?\u201d.\u00a0 Special effects are beautifully rendered, again in an almost ethereal contract between humanity and technology.\u00a0 There is no arguing that the core thematic base of TRANSCENDENCE is enunciated on every level.<\/p>\n

\"transcendence<\/p>\n

But where there is argument is within the script as a whole.\u00a0 There is no doubt that the material is high-minded, lofty and designed to spark discussion and debate.\u00a0 And that\u2019s a good thing.\u00a0 But perhaps there are just too many themes, too many ideologies touched on but not fleshed out, thereby clouding the picture, blurring the lines as to freshman scribe Paglen\u2019s true intent. While he puts it all out there, perhaps the kitchen sink should be less crowded than it is to afford the audience, and the film, more clarity of choice.\u00a0\u00a0 Discouraging is that the story package as a whole feels like a cut and paste, pulling strong elements from Asimov, Zal Batmanglij\u2019s eco-terrorist film \u201cThe East\u201d, Spielberg\u2019s \u201cA.I.\u201d, decades of themes from \u201cStar Trek\u201d, Kubrick\u2019s \u201c2001: A Space Odyssey\u201d and then tossing in modern day technology and scientific advancement in light of Higgs-Boson and ongoing sentient robotic studies like HRP, MSRS, and the work of Walter Freeman.\u00a0\u00a0 Where true non-sequitur plays especially heavy is with the idea of polonium poisoning and imminent death.\u00a0 Well-documented research belies what we see on screen.\u00a0 Adding insult to injury, tv\u2019s favorite soap opera, \u201cGeneral Hospital\u201d recently had a lengthy storyline involving polonium poisoning, which incorporated some actual research and delivered a happy ending.\u00a0 Crossover audiences to the film TRANSCENDENCE may find themselves saying, \u201cHey.\u00a0 Luke Spencer lived.\u00a0 Why not Will Caster.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"transcendence<\/p>\n

A disconnect also occurs within the story\u2019s timeline as we don\u2019t feel the passage of time.\u00a0 Everything feels immediate, surreal, a fantasy.\u00a0 But for Bettany\u2019s Max growing a beard after being kidnapped, there is no sense of temporal movement.<\/p>\n

As a director, Wally Pfister does what he does best.\u00a0 He delivers intriguing visuals that tell a story.\u00a0 As a screenwriter, Jack Paglen creates opportunities for discussion that are welcome in this day and age.\u00a0 Sadly, however, there are too many themes and not enough clarity to engage during the film itself, a failure that also falls on the lack of a human touch within two of the film\u2019s principals – Depp and Hall.<\/p>\n
