Had high hopes but ultimately disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (14 September 2014)

This is one of those movies where the trailer is better than the movie itself or at least shows all the good bits.
The premise of the movie itself is, as the trivia says, complete nonsense and based on a much spread myth that humans only use 10% of our brains. It is just not so and this has been proved by numerous studies and scans of the brain however I don't think any really holds on to this myth nowadays (or at least those who do should perhaps read more).
Anyway, without giving anything away, there are numerous plot points that end up either going nowhere or are at least completely unexplained. In short there is no real depth of story to this movie.
I knew before even going that it certainly wasn't original and was more of a mashup of ideas from numerous sci-fi books and movies that have very similar ideas but a mashup was all it that is very loosely tied together with string.
I'm actually surprised that the book from which the movie is based hasn't been exposed as a work of blatant plagiarism of those other works.
