Transcendence (2014)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471030/

Very disappointing. The story has potential (although parts of it are stolen from The Machine) but founders all over the place, with unrealistic time lines and events. Johnny Depp is good, and plays well the warm but cold machine version of his character, layering love and malevolence such that you  share his wife's struggles to understand and live with this upgraded version of her life. The other characters are mostly wasted, and the final resolution of the story is nonsensical. And mostly, it was just boring.
