Smart Drugs

About This Movie

Smart Drugs offers a fascinating peek into the world of bio-hacking, with Nik Badminton taking us along for the ride. The tone is contemplative and a bit gritty, like a personal journey through Silicon Valley's underbelly of enhancement culture. While the doc has a straightforward pacing, it captures the chaotic energy of the tech scene. What’s distinct here is the juxtaposition of reality and the Hollywood glamor of films like Lucy and Limitless, providing a critical lens on our obsession with intelligence enhancement. The practical effects are minimal, but the real-life interviews and anecdotes hit hard, making you think about where we draw the line with innovation and self-improvement.
