When scifi becomes fantasy

Rating: 6/10 (28 August 2014)

I don't seem to understand how the other reviewers are giving this movie 8 or 10. For me this movie is not worth more than 6.
Let's start by saying that I am a big scifi fan and value good script with logic. I also advocate scifi that is based on some science. That is also the biggest issue that I have with this movie. I can accept a few scientific inaccuracies but this movie is a total fantasy land.
The movie is based on the myth that "we use 10% of our brain power" and tries to explore what might have happened if we used more than that. The story has a lot of potential since it's really interesting but it becomes too much too fast. Everything paranormal is in this so called scifi movie and the irritating thing is that they try so hard to present it as if it's something that professors could be talking about.
This movie is purely made in Hollywood terms oriented towards brain-dead consumers who don't like to use their brains. Some might say that the movie makes you think.. yes it does. However it makes you think based on totally paranormal "facts".
If you like movies that are truly intriguing, then I recommend to skip this one. If you care only about CGI then watch this blockbuster.
