Do I look forward to it? Hell, yeah!!
And - I'll make sure I watch no more trailers than this one - no more spoilers for me, please.

Really a movie that has someone say we only use 10% of our brain and base the movie on the ability to use more of your brain....COME ON.

Although does look like fun.

I'll definitely watch this. But yeah, the 10% quote made me cringe.

When Luc Besson does a good movie, he really does a good movie and this looks like it might be it! *promote

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 6:56am PDT - promote requested by alien_concept.

No no no no no....not the 10% thing again. Please no more of that.

I hate that she has amazing mental powers, but still needs to wave her hand at things to use those mental powers, like the drug had turned the world into a touch screen. Looks fun, but DUH.

EDIT: Oh NOOOO! Did I just figure out that most of this movie (all the good parts) is going to turn out to be her hallucination due to overdose of the drug she's carrying, then she'll die at the end of the overdose (like Suckerpunch)?
PLEASE NOOOO! If so, please just shit can this movie now.

It's like Wanted meets Limitless meets The Matrix.

Looks great.

FWIW, The Family, by Luc Besson, was a surprisingly good flick.

Hey that requires investing in a massive 3-second research project involving a modern computer or phone or maybe even a tablet linked to the internet to figure out that its really a myth, do you think these people are made of money?? Cut Hollywood some slack would ya?

In all seriousness: I didnt even type "brain":

Meh, film is a visual medium... you do need some kind of indication to the audience.

And I actually kinda hope that's the plot, otherwise it's just ridiculous.

On the plus side, Heisenberg will be pleased.... meth gives you superpowers!!!

Ill take that 10% of her brain... and 100% of that body. Schwing!

Not impressed. If they have this special drug that literally turns people into a super human, why put it in some random, kidnapped person rather than someone they trust, or more likely, bought? Why put it in a container made out something with similar structural integrity to that of tissue paper, so that when she doubles over (like say to take a shit) it doesn't burst, thus creating a super human out to seek revenge? Why aren't there heaps of other super humans? It seemed like there was a LOT of this drug. Wouldn't she be encountering a lot of others with the same powers as her?

And then of course the 10% brain thing *rolls eyes strenuously*. Does anyone seriously believe this anymore? Who makes a movie around this premise in 2014?

Now those points aside, this still looks generic and dull as hell. The concept of a human rapidly evolving beyond the capabilities of the normal to super power territory is nothing new but still can be interesting and entertaining, I doubt this will be

The world is flat, imagine what we could accomplish if it was round. *facepalm*

This is the worst kind of sci-fi to me. In fact, I don't even consider movies like this science fiction--they're science fantasy since they're not based on science at all.

Using our brain's capacity more efficiently will allow us to intercept wireless transmissions and read them NSA-style in our heads, grow and change our hair at will, and break every other known law of physics?

Give me a break. I'll pass on this one. Even if it is Sucker Punch redux.

Apart from the silly "ten percent" (remember to check in your brain at the door), this is for me Johnny Mnemonic meets The Matrix - but over the top like the Taxi sequels. Can't wait to see it.

No, at the end they back the camera out and you see she has been in a locked wood box buried the entire time. The entire thing is executed mentally.

I don't care about the movie, as long as I can contemplate her lips and hear her voice...*sigh

I agree, film needs visual cues, but making her vision work like a touch screen is a HORRIBLE device for that....at least to me.
Wait...OTHERWISE it's just ridiculous?!? HA! Either way it's ridiculous!
I just hate movies that give the impression that they thought up some inventive method to make their insanity make sense, then crap out at the end and say "it was a dream, no explanation needed". That's simply poor writing and lack of imagination to me. (I must say it does one positive thing for me, it leaves the end a tragedy after building to a 'win' for the hero....but in an incredibly cheap and unsatisfying way).
Far better for me is how they did it in "Wages of Fear" (my favorite movie, from the 50's) where the hard fought survival and triumph can be ruined by a moment of inattentive joy.

I may pass on this one BECAUSE it's a Sucker Punch redux (with a hotter heroine).

Reminds me of Avatar. I watch the first trailer and think "Oh, this looks like a good flick!" and the more I think about the story and consider it's predictability and obvious stupidity, the more it turns me off. Still haven't seen Cameron's oh so great masterpiece.
I don't care much for J.J. Abrams McGuffin fetish (red spheres anyone?) or Nolans plot holes (the Joker is apparently psychic) but at least their movies don't start to look stupid when the first trailers are out. They're becoming stupid once you saw them. And you had a good time doing it, too.
I'll always prefer the stupidity in hindsight over using 10% of my brain to roll my eyes really, really hard in advance.

So we have two possible explanations:

1. A party girl who isn't shown to be particularly intelligent ends up OD'ing on the drugs she was forced to mule. She slips into an elaborate fantasy about having superpowers as a coping mechanism and makes up some bullshit "10% of your brain" as aher uneducated way of rationalising it

OR....

2. Meth gives you superpowers (kinda want that on a tshirt now )

And you think 2 is less ridiculous?!

I'm not really serious though. The "it was all a dream" thing was a hack cliche before most of us were 10, so yeah, it's a shitty cop out.

That said, I fully expect to enjoy this movie as a fun popcorn flick. The 5th element had a ridiculous premise too (an evil rock must be stopped by love!) but that still turned out awesome. I don't think this will be that good, but I'm willing to give it a chance.

I think Luc Besson is amazing but god this looks like shit. The 10% nonsense is the main thing but the unimaginative casting is the nail in the coffin. Johansson is wooden and Morgan "dial it in" Freeman isn't much better. There should be some sort of law that prevents him from playing the avuncular professor type in every bloody film.

Apparently Angelina Jolie was the first choice. Given how much fun she was in Salt I could definitely have seen that working.

You understood me. It's not about which is more ridiculous, it's about which is a copout. I'll accept a huge level of ridiculousness if they make it interesting, but dumping on my suspension of disbelief at the end by saying 'it didn't really happen, gotcha!' ruins it for me and pisses me off!...unless you do it in a funny way like Newhart, the last time that method of storytelling was acceptable to me.
That said, I'll probably still see it, when it's on HBO. She's still hot, no matter how bad the story may turn out to be. :-)

Actually you're forgetting the Total Recall explanation. Where we find out the drugs are merely allowing her powers to resurface, long after she was brain wiped to protect humanity from her vile evilness.

Crap. I wish I hadn't watched it and had some of the powers spoiled. It's Luc Besson, I don't need a trailer to know I wanna see it.

Looked good until the 10% thing reminded me they won't do anything interesting with it.

What's the last great Luc Besson movie?

Hmm. Point taken.

Limitless x Black Widow + Run Lola Run = $$$$ or Lucy whatever
