Transcendence - Boldly Go Where none have Gone.

Actually, Almost every Johnny Depp movie does that.  Jack Sparrow, Tonto, etc. stretched those characters mightily.  In the movie, "Transcendence", Bold ideas are proposed and leave us with much to think about.  Depp plays a scientist who is poisoned by people who fear the future that he is working on-  nano technology, computers with human traits and emotions that are independent of man, etc.  He has experimented with a chimp  and has transferred the monkey brain to a computer and now as he dies: What if his brain could live in the computer as well?

This idea is shown as well as the old question: "What if you could achieve great things at a great cost?"   Sort like the Stephen King story, "Pet Cemetery".  This is a thought provoking world of curing you of illness, blindness and being wheel chair bound, but the down side is that he now controls you.

He is now ON the internet and can control anything.

Great Sc-Fi material with a great cast.  More than a popcorn movie because it makes me think of all this stuff.

I give it ***stars. 2014 Movie 16.
