Starring Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy, Kate Mara, Cole Hauser, Morgan Freeman

The Story:
Will Caster (Depp) is a brilliant scientist who thinks that an Artificial Intelligence could become a sentient being if allowed to be uploaded onto the internet. His best friend (Bettany) warns that it is a dangerous proposition. When cyber-terrorists cause Caster's death, his essence is uploaded onto his program.
What could possibly go wrong?
Haven't people seen War Games? The Terminator?
Computers = Bad
This movie = Not that great.
The problem, well, I 'll start at the beginning.
When you have a voice-over that says, in essence, a few years ago, before we lost everything...
So, you get the idea of where the movie is going to go, and how it's going to get there.
No surprises. No intrigue.
It simply happens.
Zzzzz.
Final Grade: C-
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: None at all.
