off: Transcendence (the Movie)

[John Bailey]

I saw a lot of entries in this genre of film during the mid-90s and
they were without exception terrible. The fact that real-world changes
(I won't say 'advances') in technology occur much faster than the
Hollywood turnaround time means that they're pretty much already dated
by the time they hit the screen.

They do have a lot of camp value, though, and the inclusion of Johnny
Depp will probably allow for that.
