neutral · AI labelView post →also no one uploaded their consciousness in the excellent johnny mnemonic.. the terrible movie about uploading your consciousness was FREEJACK, but I also still love it.. an actually terrible movie about uploading your consciousness was TRANSCENDENCE, which genuinely just sucked ass
negative · AI labelView post →Transcendence (2014) is one of those shitty sci-fi movies that's so bad, it's like a serial killer's favorite movie they'd make you watch before they eat you or something
negative · AI labelView post →"There were three or four attractions to the role, one being Johnny Depp. Always wanted to have a shot working with him." ~ Morgan Freeman about joining in the movie "Transcendence"💥
neutral · AI labelView post →Hi, everyone! I'm CP. I usually write action-packed, fantasy and sci-fi adventures with humor and heart. I've been querying my RevPit piece, Transcendence, for a while. It's sort of MJ Kuehn's Thieves Duology meets the DnD movie. Firefly vibes, but fantasy-y, if that makes sense! Nice to meet you!

neutral · AI labelView post →God forbid they should ever listen to the music of Marvin Gaye or watch the movie Transcendence. Then there was the idiot move of removing photographs of the Enola Gay from the Pentagon. In case there was a question, it's all out in the open now: we are officially a stupid nation.
neutral · AI labelView post →A line from the film Transcendence that stuck with me: "We're not going to beat them, we're going to transcend them."
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s so fucking good!!! The fucking arc of the movie, the vampires, the twins, the commitment to women’s pleasure, THE FUCKING TRANSCENDENCE OF TIME AND ART
neutral · AI labelView post →Sinners. That dance scene. Never FELT a movie like that before. Transcendence.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think I've finally found the movie this moment in time feels like to me and it's not Her or 1984, it's Transcendence, the cured and toxic bomb where Johnny Depp plays and abusive AI that torments his innocent wife.

negative · AI labelView post →I don't know if you played The Final Shape but the cinematic when you enter The Traveler and discover Transcendence felt like an arthouse movie to me. And this felt like it went even further in that direction. I love the completely different vibe compared to anything we've from Bungie before
neutral · AI labelView post →My ★★★★ review of Transcendence on Letterboxd boxd.it/8KlmEx
positive · AI labelView post →I keep thinking about the movie Transcendence where the lead transfers his brain into AI then kind of becomes a murder bot, and still wants to be the AI that reads bedtime stories to his children.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wally Pfister was one of the best cinemetographers of the early 2000s, won an Oscar for Inception, then directed the Johnny Depp misfire Transcendence in 2014. Hasn't worked on a movie since. Is he in director jail, or is that his choice? Either way seems like a real loss.
neutral · AI labelView post →Any time I hear "nano" and medicine, I think of the movie Transcendence. NOPE. No thanks.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the movie Transcendence it was in a desert town with five stories underground. If they ever wanted a robot clone military army that's probably where they'd keep it too
neutral · AI labelView post →My take is that the first 20 minutes or so of the movie "Transcendence" showed us exactly how to deal with AI.

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Transcendence is starting like the billionaires & Magat Republicans are trying to make the USA right now.
neutral · AI labelView post →First is Lucky Them (2013), where Johnny has a small cameo. The other is a sci-fi film that explores very real modern ideas in Transcendence (2014). Regardless, Depp takes on two of his more unique roles in this double feature.
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds me of a movie I saw once, about Transcendence... www.youtube.com/watch?v=z88g...
neutral · AI labelView post →Me: whats the movie with Johnny Depp and the panels and the farm? Isaac: oh yeah! Transcendence
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m reminded of that movie “Transcendence.” It didn’t work out so well for them in that movie.
negative · AI labelView post →can't believe that mid movie Transcendence predicted this smh
negative · AI labelView post →The song was used in the movie Atomic Blonde along with a lot of other 80s pop hits relevant to the story. Now and then a movie revives an old gem I thought was totally buried - for example, Jorma Kaukonen’s “Genesis” (1974) in the 2014 movie Transcendence m.youtube.com/watch?v=lLXF...
neutral · AI labelView post →Transcendence (2014) was a dogshit movie but also really funny because it was about AI. Hate watching Johnny Depp though
negative · AI labelView post →Have yall seen the movie Transcendence? Quite fitting for these times. I’m rewatching it now and wow. Whew.
neutral · AI labelView post →I got into AI in general for the great potential for good. People are chasing LLMs because they want AGI to swoop in lite the movie Transcendence and make them immortal. It's the new materialistic religion.
neutral · AI labelView post →This was my favorite film-watching experience ever. I wish I had time to see the last four showings in my town. The last time I felt like this watching a film was *Bob Birdnow's Remarkable Tale of Human Survival and the Transcendence of Self* back in 2014.
neutral · AI labelView post →I personally liked the film Transcendence and I think Wally Pfister should be directing more feature-length films or at least doing cinematography for Nolan films again.
positive · AI labelView post →Yes, this is a perfect film. Hovers beyond any rebuttal. Transcendence.
neutral · AI labelView post →TRANSCENDENCE (2014) my dad wanted to put on a random movie, so we watched this. just like a real AI, this film has nothing to say for itself
negative · AI labelView post →Idk if I have one but my comfort movie rotation is Prometheus, Pacific Rim, Fright Night, TDK trilogy, Sunshine, Transcendence, and the newest addition is Polar
neutral · AI labelView post →"The stupidest movie that thinks it's a smart movie I've seen in a VERY long time." Kind of like Transcendence? Say, could you re-upload your review of that movie to your channel? I remember that review being really entertaining to watch.
neutral · AI labelView post →Transcendence (2014) - We wrap up "Well, It Looked Pretty!" with a film that tries to spark a conversation about the good, the bad, and the indifference of artificial intelligence, 2014's "Transcendence". #PodNation #MovieReview #Podcast www.timeshifterspodcast.com/transcendenc...
neutral · AI labelView post →Depends, you want science journal or science fiction novel/film? A great film for beginners, oddly enough features Paul Bettany (Vision), stars Johnny Depp and it's called "Transcendence." Shows just how fucked up the world is going to get on the tech side, the military side, and humanist side.
positive · AI labelView post →@Thriveth In that vein, I think the film Transcendence could've done more. Its ending felt comparatively deflated in what transpired versus the underlying reasoning that was implied. Maybe there was an intended notion of relative optimism in there somewhere, but it's admittedly difficult to see […]
negative · AI labelView post →Watch the first fifteen minutes of the shitty Johnny Depp movie Transcendence. It presents a straightforward approach to stopping AI research.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now AI has become ubiquitous, I think it's time we revisit the notion raised in the movie "Transcendence". It turned out you don't need to splice human brain, intelligence is just an end-product of big data. Anyway, I cannot imagine AI turning itself off just to spite humanity. Am I right? WDYT?
neutral · AI labelView post →Genuinely one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It had a partner with the Johnny Depp movie "Transcendence" also starring Morgan Freeman!
