Transcendence is full of plot holes that even some primary schools kids may find obvious, and takes much away from the film. The fact that a teenage girl who works in a cafe is the head of our terrorist group is also quite bizarre. Motive of the characters seemed weird and the directing teams feels like they just did whatever they felt like doing without really thinking about the outcome and the effect that it could have on the audience. Yet, it is still a though-provoking film with decent acting, it is just one that doesn't make too much sense.
