Thanks I really liked your review in the movie. The first good one I found yet. I just watched it yesterday and today I tried to find interesting articles about it or background infos. But I basically only found people hating about the movie. Maybe it now occurs to me- their conception oft the world was crashed by it in some way… I think the movie was brilliant despite its downsides like ridiculous car chases you mentioned above. And it is quite funny how many people feel provoked by the 10% myth and think they know exactly themselves it is actually 100% we use. The truth is, asbfar as I know it is known very little yet about how our brain really works. But as cases of savants show – there are unimaginable things people r able to do – maybe not to the extent the movie shows, but I think it is more meant like a metaphoar

Oops! How ironic. Of course I meant to type \’When you say \’math\’, I assume you mean \’maths\’?\’

I'm grateful for all the negative reviews the movie generated elsewhere on the internet because it allowed for a very satisfying shock when the movie turned out to be tremendous. It's interesting that critics have characterized the premise of this movie as dumb. (Not that Gabe did here, but many, many other critics have). It certainly is a conceptual and perhaps childish central idea, but it's hardly anti-intellectual, ridiculous or low-brow. Why care if the conceit that we only use 10% of our brains is false (or outmoded)? So is the existence of Hoth. Pharmacology is fascinating and ripe for dramatic invention. Besides, who actually expects or needs Palme d'Or-worthy thematic material from a Hollywood summer blockbuster? That's what Hulu Plus is for. While Gabe's review here is positive, I wonder why it only produced a B+. Maybe Gabe would care to elaborate. Clearly the movie has sparked a debate. Hopefully this word-of-mouth controversy will propel more ticket-sales, which will encourage studios to return to larger-budget original content from tested directors. Personally I haven't enjoyed a summer blockbuster in a theater on opening weekend this much since The Dark Knight and never before with a female lead. Granted I was not born when Alien/Aliens were released, but we certainly need more of those.

Best Science Fiction movie I have ever seen. I would give it a 10++! It was very educating, entertaining and intriguing. I found it to also be very mind opening. Morgan Freedman and Scarlett Johansson's best movie yet! It was like we got to see the world the way God sees it… and judging by Lucys failure to contain such power… we all know why God allowed only 10 percent; which still brought people like Einstein and Edison and even King Jr. out! Thank you for this movie

I saw the movie yesterday and I thought that it was pretty decent overall. It's a fact that it's not true that we use only 10% of our brain. It's just one of those urban legends that persevere in spite of scientific evidence to the contrary but nowadays the idea of making movies based on completely BS science has become the norm and that seems to be the way it is. Adapt or die! So in Lucie's case she simple learned to use 1000% of her brain! Here we go! the science is now satisfied!

I don't care if some say the science in this film is Preposterous! And it actually is not!! It is mind blowing a lot of action, a lot of thrill, a lot of skill. ,! The cinematography, is pure! The acting is perfection! Scarlet J is the only actress for this film. Morgan f. Reprises his former roles as a amalgamation of Mr fox (wanted) and his narration efforts of March of the penguins, so the casting is spot on! It really works the momentum of this film moves quick and only mildly slow when it needs to explain science to the people who don't understand much about it. That it but that is only in tiny doses so it is perfect. I love the opening how it explains what is happening to Lucy by using quick images of mouse approaching a trap and a antelope being stalked by a pride of cheetah! You get the idea. I think even if you are not a science enthusiast or someone who devourers Documentaries as food, you WILL STILL LOVE THIS FILM!! There are parts in this film that make you nearly run for cover or say oh ..you know what!..! Over and over! See this In Big D ! D Box ! Anywhere there is a big screen and hi def sound YOU WONT REGRET, haven't seen transcendence yet! But it kinda reminds me of that .Scarlett As the J Dep character

Since you broke up with that person, sorry, you got dumped, I know you've been upset.
But, Missing out on Hollywood still upsetting you?

I think you're only allowed to use the word "fantasia" once.

You are using nearly 100% of your brains functions as you read these words. 10% is a myth, pure nonsense, easily debunked by actual science.

I believe that, yes, humans use 10% of their brains when they're not applying their minds to anything. We use a higher percentage of our brains when we discover work that is most compatible with our innate abilities, because that's the only way we can. Make sense?
