Superhuman capacity

This drug gives the girl abilities that seem superhuman as it gives her one hundred percent of the total capacity of her brain. Although this film is science fiction, it really makes me imagine that humans may be able to really try to harness the full capacity of the brain.

Science fiction becomes reality.

This film reminds me a bit of Elon Musk's project which wants to implant chips in the brain that can allow us to remotely control computers, but also to cure neurological diseases such as paralysis. This project is sold as revolutionary, but is it really a good thing for human beings, we are not sure. So science fiction films are just films that imagine the future and are made to be made.

A future arrival of this technology.

Perhaps in a few decades we will all have a chip implanted in a part of our body and it will really treat neurological disorders. Tests have already been carried out on monkeys and a paralysed man has already volunteered to test this new chip. What we imagine as the future is finally happening little by little before our eyes, I really wonder how life will be in 30 years.
