Transcendence- Spoiler Corner

[Ares Johnson]

Rynn, I hadn't considered it at the time, but you're right about his social intelligence. He may have stuck with pacifism, but yes, he ought to have known how to handle people better without frightening them. I can understand hiding though. After all, people did try to kill him very quickly after his rebirth.

I'm not sure how I feel about the virus part, as I'm not entirely sure whether he let it kill him, given the circumstances surrounding that scene.

You're definitely right about killing the internet being basically an apocalypse and I think they ought to have emphasized that. After all, it would only further emphasize just how blatantly wrong it was to kill Will. They torched modern civilization in order to kill a being they thought was bad without any hard evidence he really was. Hell, nobody even really bothered to question him. The last moments of the movie did leave me wondering if that nanotech in the water would get to work fixing things. Incidentally, I too loved that stuff. It reminded me of really good utility fog.

Despite these points, I absolutely loved this movie. Like all movies it has its flaws, but it was everything I hoped for and nothing I feared.
