If only the screen writers had taken NZT this would have been 10 stars

I one hundred percent agree with peoples critique of the plot holes and shortcomings of this movie. With the right screenplay this could have been a revelation to sci-fi like The Matrix. I can only imagine what this movie would have looked like if Christopher Nolan (director of Inception and Momento) and the guys from Primer had gotten hold of this idea and ran with it.
However, with that being said this movie is still very enjoyable entertainment. The acting is good, the story (despite what it could have been) is clever, witty, and engaging, and the movie is fast paced and never boring. I would recommend it to both people who like mind-bending movies and mainstream audiences alike. It has broad appeal.
Of course in my head I'm already dreaming up what I would have done differently with the script. However, with a movie trying to explore and in the process live up to the 'limitless' potential of the human brain in some ways it sets itself up to fall short of an infinitely high stick of measure.
