Tobi’s film
A debut director can’t even dream of a budget of over 100 million dollars — especially not when filming an original idea that is not based on any template or franchise. There is one reason above all that Wally Pfister still got this mega sum: Christopher Nolan .
From » Memento » to » The Dark Knight Rises «, Pfister was the director’s regular cinematographer for over a decade. The collaboration culminated in Pfister winning an Oscar for Inception . When he wanted to direct it himself, Nolan helped him. Also thanks to the filmmaker enjoying complete freedom in Hollywood after his «Dark Knight» trilogy behind him, a subsidiary of Nolan’s house studio Warner and investors from China opened their wallets very wide. The result is «Transcendence» — a veritable sci-fi mega flop!
Sat. 1 is showing “ Transcendence ” this Saturday, March 12, 2022, from 10:35 p.m. However, we cannot recommend switching it on. Because «Transcendence», which is also available to stream on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video as a subscription, is unfortunately not one of those visionary sci-fi films that were perhaps ahead of their time and were misjudged by cinema audiences at the time — although the story is exciting and sounds promising.
