I love science. Naturally, I didn't like the extremely non-scientific idea at first too. I remember when the movie came out and people were like "well people do have limited access to their brain so you never know!". Absolutely hated that. But should my opinion on the movie be influenced my such unscientific opinions? NO! It's a movie for crying out loud! And generally, your opinion should not be influence by who supports a certain idea. I'm no expert so I'll keep it simple. The movie starts brilliantly. Scarlett proves once again she is not just beautiful. Enjoyed the directing, cameras, etc (with my very limited knowledge).What I loved about the movie was that it took the sci-fi idea of the "100% brain access" (such as Limitless) and shredded it to pieces; there's nothing beyond this, and I doubt there will ever be. Some might (reasonably) argue that the end was too much. Ok, yes it was, but that was the point; no movie will ever be able to take this idea to a more extreme level ever again. Plus, it was the only ending that not everyone would expect; anything "weaker" and you'd be like "pff the ending was casual".On the downside, as we approached the end of the movie, it became a bit irrational, even in its own world. Sometimes even forced. Moreover, the constant attempt to make it sound scientifically possible throughout the movie made me cringe. But I guess I should have been more prepared for this.

This is possibly the dumbest movie I've ever seen. Definitely top 5. I was shocked to see it's been written and directed by Luc Besson. He actually had some good movies.The good news is this is so stupid, that you might actually watch it as a comedy, if you don't mind a disgracefuly pretentious storyline.I read some reviews afterwards, and in one of them the author calls it "unscientific". He says "only 1/5 of it is science". REALLY? What has he been smoking? This movie makes absolutely no sense, it's completely irrational from the very start to the last scene. Don't even try to watch it without good pot.

This movie is a complete Turkey. The premise of the mind enhancing illicit drug is far better explored in the 2011 movie "Limitless".
