Transcendence

“Transcendence is a bold, beautiful, sometimes confounding flight of futuristic speculation firmly rooted in the potential of today’s technology.”

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 100

“Transcendence is a dark, lurchingly entertaining pastiche of age-old worries, future-shock jolts, hot-button topics and old-fashioned genre thrills.”

Manohla Dargis, The New York Times · 70

“An ambitious and provocative piece of work that is intriguingly balanced between being a warning and a celebration.”

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times · 70

“While never as dynamically involving as Christopher Nolan's "Inception," for which longtime Nolan director of photography Pfister justifiably won an Oscar, Transcendence still grapples with provocative existential concepts in similarly thoughtful terms.”

Eric Kohn, IndieWire · 67

“Moderately entertaining, periodically draggy, Transcendence is not as wacky-visionary as “The Matrix,” or nearly as lyrical as “Her.””

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor · 67
