[ExI] RES: Movie teasers for "Transcendence" aka the Singularity

[John Clark]

Take a look at the most underrated science fiction movie of all time, it's
called  "Colossus: The Forbin Project", in it the supercomputer AI actually
wins! The movie makes you think that the human's plan to regain control is
going to work just as it always does in movies of this sort, but no, it
turns out the computer was just toying with them and the human's never had
a snowball's chance in hell of outsmarting the AI. The film is from 1970 so
the special effects are not bleeding edge, but the script is.
