Interesting and very informative

If you don't believe in God, you'll love this movie, because Besson pounds home the "Big Bang Theory." If you do believe in God you'll still love this movie, because it will strengthen your faith in being created, rather then Besson's feeble, yet creative attempt explaining his beliefs.
This film reminds me of a script I once read while I was working at Universal Pictures in the 90's called 'Mastermind'. The protagonist was able to utilize 100% of his brain. There were a lot of similar types of subplots as well, but this movie went one step further and tried to sell the scientific aspect of the theory, which is where it became a tad slow.
Obviously a drug alone, cannot and will-not ever help us to reach those cranial heights of power, however the imagery was still unique and creative. It was very much like a great trip on Ecstacy, or magic mushrooms, or acid. All in all, we still really enjoyed the journey through time and the explanation of it all by the great Morgan Freeman.
