To be (Limitless) or not to be (Limitless), that is the question...

Rating: 4/10 (22 March 2011)

My husband and I went to see this movie together and although I was entertained by it, I was confused by it as well and I must honestly admit that it's not easy writing a review about this film, or, more so about my experience with it. **Spoilers** The idea as such is not as original as people may claim it to beThe pill is a glorified drug and honestly somewhat reminds me of soccer moms taking Ritalin in suburbia to become uber-mom, until the big crash happens. Granted, the pill in the film has a few more attributes and is a posh, designer drug in clear format, but the concept surely has crossed every college students mind right around hour twenty of studying for their final grade. The film is entertaining however and although I am still not sure how I feel about it, I am certain I wouldn't want to watch it a second time and so I can not rate it very high. In the end the movie would be a good view for a discussion group or a class on Drug misuse, because both my husband and I wondered what we would do? Would such a drug make the world a better place or simply cause a faster destruction of the planet. Would we, as humans want to be overachievers with our brains and bodies going full speed all the time, and truly be limitless or is life better at a natural pace? As a parent the very idea of such a drug and its side effects have me shiver at my core.
