Transcendence: movie review

Cast:Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara

Director: Wally Pfister

Writer: Jack Paglen

SPOILER ALERTS

HAL has come a long way.

First, we had Scarlett Johansson as a human-like operating system. Now, Johnny Depp has been uploaded. If the singularity — when artificial intelligence surpasses human smarts — is indeed coming, at least it has decent taste in movie star avatars.

First-time director Wally Pfister’s Transcendence isn’t so much the “Him” to Spike Jonze’s Her as it’s a more dystopian vision of the meeting of human consciousness and computer intelligence. It turns out that when computers get sophisticated, worse things can happen than Joaquin Phoenix getting his feelings hurt.

But whereas Her was playful and personal about familiar futuristic concepts, Transcendence is clunky and lifeless. It’s like the movie version of a paranoid TED talk.

In the early scenes of Transcendence, Dr. Will Caster (a disappointingly sleepy Depp) is a TED-style master of the universe, speaking confidently in front of large video screens to eager listeners about neurology and artificial intelligence. But there are also protesters to his potentially all-powerful invention: the Physically Independent Neural Network (PINN), an early artificial intelligence propelled by a room full of computers that Caster believes could, among other things, cure cancer.

An assassination attempt with a radiation-laced bullet leaves Caster with weeks to live. Desperate to keep his mind alive, his loyal, sycophantic wife and fellow researcher Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) uploads Caster’s brain to a PC with PINN hardware. Helping her is their good friend and colleague Max (Paul Bettany, serving as narrator).

But as anyone with an iPhone knows, software updates can be tragic. The transfer is finished just as Caster dies. Soon enough, the screen flickers to life, first with a few typed words and then seemingly Caster’s full personality, in voice and pixel form.

Alert to their plan, anti-tech activists (led by Kate Mara) are simultaneously descending. In the chaos, Max begins to realize they’ve created a high-speed Frankenstein — an epiphany lost on the mourning Evelyn, who flees after uploading Caster to the Internet. He immediately spreads across the Web (he calls Evelyn on her phone) and begins seeking more computing power.

It takes a long time for Transcendence to build to this moment, when perhaps it should have begun here in the first place. But it feels like a suddenly intriguing crossroads. Where will this terrifyingly digital Depp go?

If you answered: to a desert town to build an underground data center for development of radical tissue regeneration techniques, guarded by a creepy army of network-connected, superhuman zombies — then your algorithms are more advanced than mine.

Yet the urgency and intelligence of Transcendence isn’t artificial. It feels sincerely animated by the frightful questions it poses about computing power and interconnectedness.

Pfister, making his directorial debut after years as a cinematographer often teamed with director Christopher Nolan (a Transcendence producer), doesn’t exhibit a sure hand with dialogue or a feel for the rhythm of his narrative. Neither does the film have the distinctive form of his prior photography work, most notably The Dark Knight. (In imagery, Transcendence pales in comparison to the sumptuous sci-fi of the recent Under the Skin.)

But, as in Nolan’s Inception, Pfister, working from a script by first-time screenwriter Jack Paglen, shows an instinct to drive the genre elements toward a more personal story. Transcendence ultimately hinges on the relationship of Caster and Evelyn. The excellent Hall, looking a bit confused by what she’s gotten herself into, does her best to emotionally ground Pfister’s increasingly unfocused and heavy-handed story.

Just as in science, noble intentions can lead talented artistic minds astray, too.

Rio 2 Movie Review

A vivid and delightful animated spectacle, “Rio 2″ is chock-full of colourful 3-D wonder and jubilant musical numbers set against a tale of family dynamics and environmental dilemmas.

The sequel opens with a vibrant New Year’s Eve bash, as partying in the music-filled streets of Rio de Janeiro is punctuated by fireworks bursting above the Christ the Redeemer statue.

Supervised by composer John Powell, more emphasis has been placed on the music of this film, which benefits from numbers by artists like Bruno Mars (who also voices the smooth bird Roberto in the film), Janelle Monae and celebrated Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown.

After mating in Brazil in 2011′s “Rio,” rare macaws Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) now have three lively kids who have become accustomed to the same domestication Blu was brought up on in Minnesota. They’re attached to gadgets like iPods and eat pancakes for breakfast, which irks the raised-in-the-wild Jewel.

But the family heads off to the Amazon rainforest, to Jewel’s delight and Blu’s strife, when they get wind that a tribe of blue macaws may live there and are being pursued by Blu’s past owner and animal lover, Linda (voiced by Leslie Mann), and her husband, Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro).

With a few of the quirky supporting characters from the first film in tow — including birds voiced by George Lopez (as frisky toucan Rafael) and Jamie Foxx and will.i.am (as rapping canary-and-cardinal duo Nico and Pedro) — they soar through a dazzling journey to the rainforest, making the often-wasted 3-D effect worth it as we take in the broad scope and graphically layered flair.

Once there, Jewel discovers the large macaw crew is led by her long-lost father (Andy Garcia), who is unimpressed with his daughter’s choice of a mate. He can’t help but roll his eyes over Blu’s use of a GPS or a Swiss Army kit rather than the use of his own sharp beak. But their classic in-law banter is sublimely comical.

Brazilian native writer-director Carlos Saldanha and Don Rhymer returned to pen the story. But they try too hard to make up for the minimalist plot of the original and drown in subplots: Blu battles with Jewel over staying in the wild versus returning to the city; Linda and Tulio clash with a few bad guys threatening to cut down the rainforest (the film’s eco push); and Blu’s old rival, Niguel (Jemaine Clement of “Flight of the Conchords”), pops up with a beautiful yet poisonous neon pink and purple frog (an angelic and cutesy Kristin Chenoweth) plotting revenge. Phew!

And then there are the moments when characters break out into song. Niguel’s hotshot rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” seems a little ill-set when he really should be crooning a sinister track a la Ursula’s “Poor Unfortunate Souls” in “The Little Mermaid.”

The sweet voice of Hathaway shines with her solo lullaby. But it’s Chenoweth’s Broadway-like delivery that trumps all when she belts out an anthem on forbidden love. Though the original songs here are whimsical and fun, few are irresistible.

With so much going on, it’s a wonder this kids’ movie is only five minutes longer than the original. But for the music and brilliantly picturesque look, it’s worth the 3-D ticket.

“Rio 2,” a 20th Century Fox release, is rated G by the Motion Picture Association of America. Running time: 101 minutes.

Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal System: A Review

Painless and relatively safe hair removal is a dream of most women and men all around the world. This dream is made to come true by Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal System. This is the most effective and till now the most efficient technology for hair removal. Medical studies in laboratories of Philips have revealed considerate amount of hair reduction in two fortnight treatments. To retain these results and prevent growth you must repeat this treatment every 4 – 6 weeks. You can use this product to eliminate hair of face such as sideburns, chin and upper lip and body parts such as underarm, bikini area, legs, stomach and arms.

All of us want a treatment that we know is safe and shall not cause us any medical and health problems in future. This concern is same for Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal System. Let us explore about the technology and how it works.

Science behind Philips Lumea Precision Plus IPL Hair Removal System

Mild pulses of light are emitted by Philips lumea which can be applied directly to the hair. These light pulses are absorbed by the hair root in which melanin is present. Now there are three phases in which growth of hair occur Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. The hair grows in anagen and catagen phase while it falls in telogen phase. It is interesting to observe how this technology converts your unwanted hair into telogen phase which is the falling phase. Once your reaches this stages your hair naturally falls. The stimulus that is used for conversion to telogen is light stimulus. The light that is used here is of such a wavelength that it is only absorbed by dark melanin. Because of this selective absorption only some colors of hair can be removed. Hence it is also not suitable for dark skin. IPL in the name stands for Intense Pulsed Light.

How it works?

Well the working mechanism of this product is fairly simple and one can easily use it at home. It is easy to carry and is highly portable.

During the first few treatments you must pre shave so that the light is channeled efficiently into the follicles. Now this can act as a con because shaving your legs thicken the growth of hair and it ends up widening the hair aperture. These widened hair apertures look appalling to the eyes. Before using this product you must consult a doctor to check whether or not the light intensity used in this product is suitable for your skin tone. The light intensity used in this product is not as harsh as used in laser treatments but it can also cause skin discoloration in some. While applying Lumea Hair Removal System the light wavelength is transferred into the hair follicles where it destroys melanin cells which in turn reduce hair production. Now the thing is that this kind of technologies uses destruction of melanin cells. This may not have any short term problems but later on this can be the cause of diseases such as skin cancer and skin disorders. Melanin can be considered as the evil good, it does cause hair growth and skin darkening but at the same time it protects you from various diseases and cancers.
