Transient

Really great story line, well written and equally well produced. Cinematography really captured the mood and heart beat of the scenes.

The entire cast was amazing! Bringing to life each character with well throughout choices through the entire film.

Love the fact that this is a PA produced film - so many talented people in and around this area, I really like the "home-grown" aspect of film-making when there is a local aspect to it.

I love a good sci-fi movie and this one did not disappoint. A few cleaver twists and turns, will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

Definitely worth a watch!

The storyline was brilliant, the cinematography was amazing! I was especially happy to hear that they Take pride in hiring from their local state of Pennsylvania for these projects!!

I love the sci-fi genre and this film had me guessing and wanting to watch it again to see what I might've missed. You can tell they took time to research the science behind the concepts that they use to tell the story. As a tech nerd, I loved how thru in math and real tech (Arduino), VSCode, whiteboard diagrams, TPUs and adjusting parameters while they are training the model all showed little technical details that added to setting up the storyline and making it feel authentic even to my domain level expert scrutiny.

I wait to see What these filmmakers come up with next! Bravo.

I can't wait to watch them again!!

Superbly-paced sci-fi thriller/suspense. Transient hits right at the intersection of human experience and technology.

Even while dancing on the cutting edge of innovation, this film remains grounded as it explores the importance of self, love, grief, and memory. Well-written and excellently performed, it held my full attention through every moment.

A showcase of Pennsylvania talent both onscreen and off, with everything tied together through practical and visual effects. The original music is evocative. So much more to explore in this Transient world, would go to the theater again in a heartbeat to see a sequel.

This was a glitchy, trippy sci-fi drama/thriller feature film in all the best ways! Incredible cinematography, vibes, and production design really grounded you in the story and the production did an excellent job of achieving a lot with very little resources--scaling the screenplay properly to tell an engaging story with just a few characters within a small amount of locations. Transient poses some interesting questions, too, exploring themes about the ethics of dwelling on memories and the lengths we go to when we wish to avoid conflict.

Chris Ruppert and Sugey Cruz put together an amazing story with Transient and put together an excellent cast and crew to bring the film to life.

The accuracy was good for neural networks, AI, and I liked the nod to Karl Friston's "active inferencing" they drew out for the characters on the dry-erase board.

The ending caught me by surprise a little, so that is always good! A slow burn thriller of 2 men that made a machine to relive back memories. Gloomy and atmospheric with sounds that might hurt your head but good music.

Solid performances from the leads and co-supporting actors and the leads did "bro-tech" pretty well.

The movie itself is a mix between Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and a kind of Flatliners. I kind of dig how they mashed it together.
