I saw it yesterday and loved it. I don't think that there is really a lot known about what would happen if man was able to access greater and greater % of brain function so I viewed it as a movie that presents one vision of possibilities. There is one comment that people tend to focus on the physical and not the mental which was interesting.
I figure that anybody anti-science, christian fundamentalist or uber conservatives might find their heads exploding over this movie.
If nothing else, it might make people think and that is not bad.

The way they piece the movie together is amazing.

(12,723 posts)I did not like the repeated nonsense of using only 10 percent of your brain. But then I found out it was Besson and I have always had a fondness for both him and french SF in general.
I do not go to theaters any more but I will certainly be seeing it when it becomes available in a home format.
But to repeat my initial objection that old saw about using only 10% of your brain is incorrect. Except for some republicans.

(3,065 posts)We ALL use 100% of our brains all the time. If you want to disconnect from that reality then I guess it would be an interesting show. I just can't get my head around it.
Scarlett Johansson on the other hand, I'd let to get my head aroun... Oops. Did I say that out loud?
