Still better than Lucy or Transcendence... 9\10

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2014)

First of all, congrats on the topic... we are always thinking that Hollywood has no more fresh approaches on new movies and that they have to revolve around the same 7\8 types. My experience viewing this for the first time was great, I was excited, and felt like it was one of the best movies I had seen in a while. Then I saw Transcendence and felt like I had watched it before, but then, I saw Lucy and almost barfed... Limitless is full of plot holes, like if my brain is functioning at 100% I would find a way that I could live forever, or find a cure for all diseases and a way to stop wars... maybe that's just me. When I saw it for the second time I noticed that the end is not that perfect despite the very cool way De-Niro was dealt with, I mean... Politics? no, not that way... And the third time I watched it I wasn't very happy noticing some of this movies flaws and Cooper's character lack of brotherhood towards the world... but then I realized... I've watched this 3 times and have not watched Lucy and Transcendence more than once. OK, this is not a Perfect movie and there are plot holes the size of my house, however it much better to watch then most with the same topic... I have no time to be watching movies more than once but this one... 3 times... and I liked it every time...
Great chemistry between Cooper and Cornish. Small, but excellent role for De-Niro, I don't think Douglas would do it better. The bad guy could have been better...
It cost 27mil to make and grossed 80mil... against the 100mil of Transcendence and the 40mil of Lucy I think it says it all...
