First of all I am an experienced software developer and I can say that I could not find a major flaw on technical side of the story. The story uses real evens I could name 2-3 cases that I remember from the news.Characters were well written. Of course it was lacking Hollywood stars but the text was fine and acted well enough.I hate blockbuster Hollywood movies counting on 3D effects only. If you are after intelligence, a technical guy, a sci-fi enthusiast or a geek I strongly recommend that you watch this mini series.I couldn't understand why Transendence was so underrated and now I know why. People still do not believe these may happen one but believe it is totally possible given the current technological level and speed of progress.Anyway I would give an 8 but it is so underrated that I needed to give a 9.Regards
... View MoreIt would be very good series (close to 8) if only the ending would be something more interesting and not so lame. Basically when I saw this series starting from the middle of first episode (on the 20th minute), I got immediately hooked. It was interesting and acting and dialogue was good. But last 10 minutes of 2nd episode ruined whole thing. Problem was in script. Actors did job very well and I also liked camera work, lens flares and deep depth of field in visuals. It felt like someone else had written the ending of script in hurry. Because of the ending it deserves its below 6 rating. Its sad because 95% of the series was worth rating of 8.

View MoreThis two-part miniseries is a re-take on an old book called "The Adolescence of P-1" written back in the time of mainframes and already done once before as a Canadian movie (guess Canadian's love this story).Bringing the story up to the present gave it a nice fresh feel and unique approach. It did a pretty good job of feeling fresh, but doesn't totally get out of the the "low budget Canadian film" feel, which limits its potential.It is entertaining and the longer two-part approach makes it move at a more comfortable pace, without being too forced. The female lead was good but under-utilized in the 2nd half and the male lead was unnecessary. I did prefer the book ending (where the AI just says "cool it"), but it was good and enjoyable evening at home.

The movie did a respectable job of building suspense.The camera work was meant to be creative but actually was annoying and detracted from the movie.The acting was just good enough but some of the characters were a little hard to take. However overall the casting worked.The plot is meant for the younger crowd and will seem juvenile to older viewers but get past that and there is a fairly exciting story to be had.Clearly this is a made for TV movie and would never have survived wide release. It simply is not good enough but it had its moments and is thought provoking.I feel ambiguous about "Delete" but am not sorry I watched it.
