ITT: slop that slurped
it wasn't that bad
>>220092694Is this not the point OP wants to make?
>>220092596that guy went from being Nolan cinematographer to making this slop Literally has no career. Hasn't even done tv work or documentaries Nolan simply won
>>220092596>TRANScendence
>>220092596>Johnny Depp gets shot with bullet cancer>dies and is resurrected as AI Jesus>heals the sick and also turns them into zombies to do his bidding>government thinks he wants to take over the world>oops actually he was trying to reverse global warming with nanobots but didn't tell anyone>FBI shows up and launches mortars at his solar panels to kill him>ending is Romeo and Juliet>also there's a group of terrorists who hate technology and want humanity to live like Medieval monksGood grief that movie was fucking dogshit, did Hideo Kojima write the script?
>>220093969It has a bunch of elements that could serve as the foundation of a good movie. But yeah it's very poorly executed. Worst thing is Depp's performance, bored or half-asleep the entire time
>>220092596one of the dullest movies ever>>220094161he was really phoning it in during that period. between this, the tourist, dark shadows, the rum diary, mortdecai...i remember it being a big deal that johnny depp put in a lively performance when he played whitey bulger in black mass, although the movie also wasn't that great either
>>220093871Bravo
>>220092596LOL Wally Pfister turned down Interstellar to direct this. He was Nolan's to-go-to director of photography from Insomnia to Inception. He hasn't worked since Transcedence. What a retard. Before Nolan he show softcore porn.
>>220096442Not quite true, he directed a few TV episodes and commercials after Transcendence. Though his last TV credit was in 2017
>>220096551the film's failure probably bummed him out a lot. i do remember there being a trend of cinematographers being handed mid to big budget movies in the early 2010s as their first feature.
>>220096612A similar example might be the $40 million AVP Requiem being directed by The Brothers Strause, who before then had never directed anything and were VFX artists. They would go on to also direct the piece of shit Skyline (2010) and nothing else
