Oscar-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister's directorial debut, Transcendence, is a science fiction thriller revolving around the concept of the technological singularity. Pfister enlists a big name cast to wrestle with these big ideas. Balancing heady science fiction concepts, action movie tropes, and a central romance would be a daunting task for even an experienced director to accomplish in a two hour film, and Pfister pursues all of those elements with gusto. Does he succeed? Read on and find out...
