Sweet, it's Limitless with the female version of Bradley Cooper and uh, jedi bullshit.

I was thinking this was about Lucille Ball (or at least the behind the scenes of "I Love Lucy"). I'm disappointed.

My first thought was Scarlet playing that chimp that learned sign language.

Yeah this was the first thing I thought of too. Which doesn't really bode well, I pretty much hated that movie. |

Besson's track record has been pretty has been pretty spotty the last 10-15 years or so.

It's a good soundtrack. I was just listening to Kaneda's Theme the other night for some reason. Maybe that's why my mind went so quickly to Akira when I saw that trailer.

Is this based on a book or just random stuff thrown into a movie?

I will like it, but I don't think about movies like this too deeply.

So I'm watching this with my gf and we go
"Is that what I think it is.."
"She is basically a smart phone"
"Yep glad you was thinking that too"
I think I'll pass.

Looks good on the whole, but jesus wept I wish that "Humans only use 10 % of their brain" thing would go away. It's a dumb old trope and wildly, insanely incorrect.

I believe it's that conscious thought takes up 10% but the other 90% is used too, just by shit like, breathing. |

You mean it's a movie with a bunch of explody bullshit non-science? That's novel.  Hell, 100 minutes of ScarJo is almost worth the price of admission on its own. |

I believe it's that conscious thought takes up 10% but the other 90% is used too, just by shit like, breathing. That's also wrong--for one, it's not as simple as "conscious" and "autonomic", but even stuff that's conscious by a pretty precise definition can light up a whole bunch of the brain. Doesn't really matter, it's just that I'd love someone to come up with some nice shiny new 21st Century tropes for "I can haz superpowers" besides "I use 90% of my brain" and "I fell into radioactive water". |

I've always loved Beson's action schlock, even the shitty ones like Crank 2, so I'll be all over this.

It's looking a bit too much like transcendence except with a female lead. It could be a better movie but two of these coming out in a relatively short time frame can't be a good thing for the second one released. That and there are only a couple ways "rapid human evolution" can turn out. One they ascend to a sort of godhood and leave humanity to it's petty squabbles, leaving us with an important lesson or someshit. Two is flowers for algernon where they return to their original state and the third is that mankind is not prepared for such wonder and destroys it before it can fully mature, thus proving we are small minded animals still.
It's just a plot that seems to have been done so many times it's no longer interesting or novel.

To me, Transcendent looks like an update of Lawnmower Man, and Lucy looks (as noted) Akira-ish ... kinda. This is one of those false equivalents, like saying Bagger Vance got overlooked because it came out at the same time as Green Mile, and there were too many "magic black man" movies. Bagger Vance was overlooked because it had a weak story.

Looks awesome. Like some others, I'm wondering if this based on some source material, or new. Don't care since I'll see it either way, just curious.

It looks interesting, but once I got over my initial reaction that this wasn't Under The Skin (I honestly this was the one where she was an alien), I started making Limitless comparisons. It looks like it was created as a competitor to Transcendence. Limitless is one of my, if not my most, favorite films.

Transcendence looks like Lawnmower Man with Johnny Depp. Not really a compelling setup for a movie.
