A great addition to the random super power movie genre.

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2014)

People see trailers for movies like this and have already decided whether or not they are going to movie snob the crap out of it. Some feel that they are so mentally superior that they need to point out how scientifically impossible the events of a movie are. Well, all you Smarty McSmartersons, guess what. This is not a documentary. It is a movie based on fantasy or science fiction concepts. Whether or not the whole ten percent thing has been proved in real life has nothing to do with this movie, because it is a movie. And in this particular movie universe, people only use ten percent of their brains. So let loose your omnipotent grasp on all knowledge that is correct and relax for a couple hours.
I personally enjoyed the movie and recommend it. I love movies that focus on one person gaining a usually very specific super power. It falls into the same unnamed category as Limitless, Push, Jumper and Unbreakable. It's a what if story about people becoming more than they are in the real world. I just wish it lasted a little longer.
Unfortunately for this genre, everything else besides the super power is usually quite mundane. The world looks normal, so people expect the rules of real world science to apply. If you are one to loosen your grasp on reality when being entertained, then you will enjoy this movie. If you are someone who needs to try and make sense of everything or needs to let the world know how smart you are, then you really don't need to see this movie. Just watch the trailer and pick it apart. Your argument will be that same.
