I love Besson not a huge fan of Scarlett…never liked her acting chops always felt like she was acting…never seems natural. But the premise though done before should be interesting in Besson’s hands so yeah I’m gonna check it out.

I’m not a fan of The 5th Element or his other movies, with ONE frustrating exception: Léon aka The Professional. Frustrating because I want more of that goodness.

My first thought, too!
And even if it was true, how would using “100 percent of your brain” allow you to defy the laws of physics?
If they are going for a serious tone they have to make it at least half believable.

Foomandoonian, you beat me to it. The movie actually looks cool to me, and I’ll watch it, but I’ll have a hard time getting past the fact that the main plot revolves around something we already know to be a myth.

Was just rewatching 5th Element the other night. If this manages to shy away from the deadly-serious tone (that the trailer implies) and embraces 5th Element crazy times, I’m definitely on board.

La Femme Nikita? Check. Matrix? Check. Limitless? Check. Morgan Freeman’s reliable, calming (this is all real) voice, Check. I don’t mind the Luc Besson-isms in a lot of his (directed or produced) movies, but I hate when he tries to amplify the reality/believability of them. Part of the charm is the often funny, over-exaggerated dialog and action. I’m sure you could tie 5th Element into this pretty easily too.

Groan. I feel like I’ve seen this before. From Luc Besson even. Plus, yet another movie trotting out the ‘we only use 10% of our brain’ nonsense cliche: http://enwp.org/Ten_percent_of_brain_myth
