In this paper, the author will present one reflection on cyberspace displayed in a Movie by Wally Pfister called "Transcendence". This research applies qualitative method by observing scences featuring in the movie. Findings reveal that virtual reality displayed in "Transcendence" falls into the category of neofuturists. This conclusion is obtained based on identification of the representation of reality, identity, community, and space displayed.Keywords: Film, cyberspace, neofuturists.
