Absolutely Maddening.

Rating: 1/10 (16 October 2014)

First of all, I've never met the guy, but this Luc Besson is a DICK.
Ignoring the fact that first of all, the entire premise of this film is based on a myth that was circulated in the 1980s, (We use 100% of brain, not 10% as the film perpetuates) This film goes way beyond stupidity and into the land of pure absurd.
It saddens me, actually, to hear Morgan Freeman reading this script. Talking about how if we could use 20%, we could completely control our bodies. If we could use 30%, we can control other people. Then 40%, was matter. What?? Your telling me, that through various electrical impulses in my brain firing all at once, that I can manipulate the world around me telekinetically in anyway I see fit? Does this guy have any grasp on the world he lives in whatsoever?? It's like Luc Besson was smashed on Ketamine and stuck in a K-Hole and in this hole decided to write a film.
But He pushes it...even *further*. Scarlett eventually can control TIME ITSELF. In fact, she manipulates TIME like an iPad. Umm.... What?? Swiping the air back and forward in front of you will control TIME??
ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
It amazes me that this film got commissioned. 40 million dollars?? 40 MILLION DOLLARS?? What the hell. Does that make any sense to you? There are hundreds of thousands of brilliantly capable film writers out there and this guy, LUC BESSON gets 40mil to write and direct this?
Alright. It's a crap film, no doubt. The writing is terrible, the acting is boring and bad, and the directing is AWFUL too. The one saving grace with this film is the CGI. Whoever the CGI artist / studio was for this film did a good job. It was very good (apart from the dinosaur actually, that wasn't amazing - sorry guys). But I'm telling you, that's about all this film has going for it.
I've said it once, But it needs to be said again.
LUC BESSON IS A DICK.
