I've seen the previews and it looks like it could be a good film but I just can't get passed the obviously false premise that we only use 10% of our brain.  I thought we were past such a misconception.

I had the exact same thought when I saw the commercial for it yesterday.

Then I saw a commercial for "Lets Be Cops" and had similar reservations and realized, meh, I guess a good sci-fi is worth the suspension of disbelief.

The problem is that there are so many other ways to do it without having to keep going back to the same false premise.  Rapid development of neural pathways or worms

We watched this the other night. That wasn't the only bizarre and incomprehensible aspect of the movie.
