Directed by respected cinematographer Wally Pfister, Transcendence is an exciting new science fiction thriller starring Johnny Depp.

Will Caster (Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him.

However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed — to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can, but if they should go through with the experiment.

Their worst fears are realised as Will’s thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.

Catch the action when the mind-bending Transcendence hits local cinemas on April 17.
