Lucy -- There's a distinct possibility that this emperor is not wearing any clothes. That's not to say this is necessarily a bad flick; it's fun to watch, the action and special effects are good, and the economy of storytelling helps things move along quickly and without much drag. The science in this fiction is almost certainly mumbo jumbo, but that's to be expected; it's in the philosophy more than the science where the film breaks down. I just get the sense that what is supposed to come across here as deep and profound may simply be very, very foolish. But you can do worse with an hour and a half of your time.
