Delete (2013)

Dreadfully Boring

A Disappointing Continuation

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

First of all I am an experienced software developer and I can say that I could not find a major flaw on technical side of the story. The story uses real evens I could name 2-3 cases that I remember from the news.Characters were well written. Of course it was lacking Hollywood stars but the text was fine and acted well enough.I hate blockbuster Hollywood movies counting on 3D effects only. If you are after intelligence, a technical guy, a sci-fi enthusiast or a geek I strongly recommend that you watch this mini series.I couldn't understand why Transendence was so underrated and now I know why. People still do not believe these may happen one but believe it is totally possible given the current technological level and speed of progress.Anyway I would give an 8 but it is so underrated that I needed to give a 9.Regards

The overly presumptuous camera work made this almost impossible to watch. Waaaay too many Go-Pro shots (guys, just because you own them doesn't mean you have to attach them to EVERYTHING for a funky shaky POV), badly focused shots (yes, I'm guessing those were intentional however it just looked bad), EpileptiCam, bright light sources into the lens with washed out flares and dirty lens look.... I hope the DP got everything he needed for his reel and now will move on to a line of work more suited to his talents (maybe as a bagger at Ralph's) and leave his poor, suffering crew alone. The audio was also very uneven, especially in Mission Control. Blu Mankuma-group's radio mic (which he was on most of the time, for unknown reasons) always sounded awful, boxy, with no high end. Either a really cheap lav or very pooly placed. The best part of the whole mess was Seth Green. I didn't recognize him. His was the most convincing performance of all. Glad I didn't pay anything to see this poorly made piece of Canad-o-crap.

This two-part miniseries is a re-take on an old book called "The Adolescence of P-1" written back in the time of mainframes and already done once before as a Canadian movie (guess Canadian's love this story).Bringing the story up to the present gave it a nice fresh feel and unique approach. It did a pretty good job of feeling fresh, but doesn't totally get out of the the "low budget Canadian film" feel, which limits its potential.It is entertaining and the longer two-part approach makes it move at a more comfortable pace, without being too forced. The female lead was good but under-utilized in the 2nd half and the male lead was unnecessary. I did prefer the book ending (where the AI just says "cool it"), but it was good and enjoyable evening at home.

Come now folks, data is to fragmented, the Web for doing research is inferior to the old phone connections tied to a database, nitpicks every term used in the question/sentence, I am certain like me some people have turned to the various Search Engines such as Google, Bing, etc. merely to discover it would take wks. mos., to find the right information if they ever found it at all, now a major database with a whole building filled with multiple servers all linked together, plus connected to the Web I might buy it, but the Web, no possible way it could ever become self aware. Who thought this lame plot up, wait don't tell me someone who started out as game, or Web game designer, worst of all the infantile engineers responsible for the Mentally Deficient television, typical STVs are a major nightmare, LG Google Chrome process faster, but still very limited data storage space, Quad/4K televisions are too new to know what their limitations if you are smart you will wait until those who have far more money than common sense point out the flaws in their reviews. Guess someone thought it was time to scare people again, like as if reality is insufficient, so let's see how truly stupid people are and peddle pure fiction. Since I am no computer scientist, trust they are far more intelligent than Information Technicians, because any indirect experience I have had dealing with their handy work infuriates me, major inept boobs. Computer scientists at the top of the field would be far more efficient at explaining why the plot to this movie is so ridiculous, my conclusion is if it were not like that traitor Edward Snowden breaking his oath and blabbing about the Internet and phone line intelligence they acquired with court orders, they as well would come forward by conveying their story to the press. Yes I envision those dirty, gritty, grease between the gears in the heads of people turning ever so slowly, thinking then the digital entity would have them killed off as well, except these people are known and doing nothing in secret, so the Web monster would be unaware of them. Like borderline conspiracy theorists, and our intelligence gathering agencies when they want to get the real low down they focus on those who sound the most mentally unstable, terrorists of any kind, computer hackers who use the fact that the general public does not trust the government to spread fear.
