"The science is hokum! Bla Bla Bla", so say the critics.

Well yes - this is a science fiction you numbskulls. The creators have made a change to our received understanding of a piece of science and asked 'what if?'. It's what SF writers have been doing since before HG Wells.

Scarlet Johansson kicking ass, on screen for 80% of the film, and not a weird alien! In a character that's part Buffy, part Nikita, part Carrie, who gets most of the superpowers shared out amongst the cast of Heroes all to herself! What's not to like?!

Possibly the biggest mash-up of other films I've ever seen: loads of "2001 A Space Odyssey", bits of "Limitless", every film with a ruthless Chinese/Columbian/Japanese drug baron, D.O.A., Transcendence, etc etc. But so what, it's a cracking good film - fast-paced, visually absorbing, and short (by today's standards).
