I've been planning to try to watch it early, or at least on launch day, and then write up some blog post about it like "Transcendence vs. Superintelligence Theory" or something, to compare it with e.g. the view in Bostrom's forthcoming book (which I've read).

My guess from the trailer is that there are some http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendegi influences. Sick person with only way out via an upload, and the concerns about fidelity of the upload (from the trailer). The Super(intelligence) meme from somewhere else.

I look forward to reading your comparison! Hopefully it will also let me know if its worth watching the movie.
