'transcendence' Fails To Transcend Lack Of Logic

The film has that fascinating air that arrives when really talented people with a large amount of resources are making something that hasn't been done before. Nolan is the executive producer, and Pfister's movie has that "Inception" / "Memento" feel where you're going on a ride that could take you anywhere. From there, "Transcendence" presents itself as a smart movie, while it bombards the viewer with confusing plot turns, huge lapses in logic, protagonists who act against their own interest and brilliant characters who are slow to realize the obvious. [...] the government, which would have 20 agents assigned to follow Caster's every move in the real world, appears to assign one low-level investigator to the case after there's a tragedy. The fate of mankind hangs in the balance?
