This has become one of my most enjoyed films (for many reasons) and most hated (for one single reason).

The "we only use 20% of our brains" thing nearly ruined the film for me. I know it has a crazy, super drug as its main plot device but get the scientific, proven facts straight before you start messing with them! We use our entire brains.

Besides that, this film has some of the nicest (although eventually overused) uses of editing and seamless shot transitions I've ever seen! It all felt very Fight Club inspired at times! Really great ideas and Bradley Cooper and De Niro prove they may well become a very strong duo to contend with!

The focus on style and concept seemed to suppress any sort of character or interesting story that could have been farmed here. It all just ended up being so silly; my reaction once the credits rolled? A shrug of the shoulders. That about sums it up.

Quite surprisingly good. Tense in the right places, and lots of fun in which Bradley Cooper goes from Cameron Frye to Ferris Bueller in 30 seconds.

Okay, so I've pretty much watched Limitless with differing levels of attention over each of the last 3 nights totalling probably around 5 run throughs! So should this have been called "Unlimitless" as in made for unlimitless viewings?! :D I really like it that much! The commentary track's great as well!

I was expecting a movie much more action oriented here, like a more serious "Crank", but it's not, and I'm glad it isn't, because I doubt it would be as good as it is.
The moment I realized what this movie was about, my mind didn't stopped for a minute, always wondering and thinking about the possibilities of using the NZT, but without losing any thing about the movie, of course. Not only an awesome Sci-Fi background, the movie is visually stunning, from the color tone until the "blackout sequences", just fantastic, and the story itself is very good, the main character is very good, it's by far the best acting by Bradley Cooper I remember.
I had good expectations for this movie, but Limitless totally blew my mind.

Started off mildly entertaining but it got pretty silly and uninteresting fairly quickly. Didn't much care for the poor man's "Fight Club" direction either. Somehow Bradley Cooper is still pretty great, though.

Really enjoyed this, it has a great visual style, the fractal zoom scenes are great, the more in depth they went the more my smile grew :) The lead character is very interesting, he handles the range in a great way so it doesn't feel like he just goes all genius robot all of the sudden, it's still his just clearer as he calls it. it does have a couple of odd things, like the dead girl that seems to lead nowhere and the ending is a bit odd also, I guess I just wasn't expecting a happy ending.

A man takes a new drug which increases his mental powers, but not without repercussions. Ironically, this is a shut your brain off and eat popcorn kind of movie. Do so and it is enjoyable. Get hung up on the details and it will ruin it.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

¯\_(o___o)_/¯

An original, gripping thriller.

Brilliant. Clears the mind and give new breath to our thoughts.
Whenever I want to rearrange, watch this movie. Invigorating ...

Meh.

It was interesting but some of the plot didn't seem coherent.
