Trancendence (2014)

From Netflix:

A husband and wife team of computer scientists work to advance artificial intelligence as a radical anti-technology organization fights to prevent them from creating a world where computers can transcend the abilities of the human brain.

Two hours of digital effects plus some possibly thought-provoking discussions are more or less the content of this not especially important sci-fi film.

As for actors you might recognize Johnny Deep, Paul Bettany (the priest in “Priest”), Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow in “The Dark Knight Rises”), Kate Mara (Zoe Barnes in “House of Cards”), and Morgen Freeman.

In case the plot is not abundantly clear you can always read the Wikipedia summary.

Long and only so-so.
