The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Transcendence (2014)

Starring: Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, Clifton Collins Jr., Josh Stewart, Cole Hauser
Director: Wally Pfister

Premise:
Upon his deathbed, a brilliant scientist uploads his consciousness to drive a new artificial intelligence system. The super computer manifests into it's own personality and begins to transform society into its own image. Now those who helped create the system must now destroy it.

My Take:
The movie has great concept, cast, special effects but falls way short on actually explaining grand details. Still manages to be entertaining in spite of the pitfalls.

Rating: In the middle
