About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want fast, tough sci-fi thrills with big “human potential” ideas; Not for you if you need strict science realism or prefer grounded storytelling over wild action, especially if you disliked Limitless or Upgrade.
Pros: high-energy sci-fi action; bold premise; memorable setpieces | Cons: shaky science plausibility; flawed supporting cast; mixed ending satisfaction
