"If you’re planning to watch Transcendence simply to see Johnny Depp as nature intended (no wigs, crazy makeup or prosthetics) you might be disappointed. As Will Caster, a scientist who becomes a ghost in the machine, Depp’s performance, largely portrayed as the equivalent of a Skype call, is about as electrifying as your new iPad mini."

Flicks
Flicks"The script and Pfister’s heavy, humorless direction tend to reduce everything to simplistic standoffs between good and evil."

Variety
Variety"Not even in the enjoyable realm of starkly ridiculous Cold War thrillers like "Colossus: The Forbin" Project."

Time Out
Time Out"A dark, lurchingly entertaining pastiche of age-old worries, future-shock jolts, hot-button topics and old-fashioned genre thrills."

The New York Times

The Guardian
The Guardian"Weak... advancing a take on technology that’s more confused than ambiguous."

The Dissolve
The Dissolve"Pfister shows a sure hand at staging scenes, creating visuals and setting a tone."
