Great idea with good execution, but...

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2019)

I had this idea when I was in the military. We had been talking about drugs in our food and if we were part of an experiment. I thought about how keen we all were and motivated to do the job needed, to get it done quickly and efficiently.
Was it drugs or had we just gotten our asses kicked and realized if we didn't do what was needed we would get in trouble?
The idea that we use only 20% or 10% of our brain has been a myth that has hung around too long. It's a lie. You use all of your brain all the time, but 99% of it is subconsciously.
The movie is good, but it isn't great. It is flawed and some of the flaws must mean they weren't on NZT because they weren't paying attention to the details.
The casting is great, the flow is fast and I thought the way they portrayed being on the drug and coming off the drug was creative. It was fun and it was worth the watch.
I was disappointed by the dozen of mistakes though and I thought they could have done a better job.
