Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

the audience applauded

Admirable film.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Always a good idea to get people thinking more. At a time when having a brain isn't highly valued, this show gets you thinking. It's fun and fast paced. The topics are primarily visual, but so are our brains. The brief length of episodes is a good idea for two reasons- 1. You don't burn out. and 2. so you have some chance of retaining the helpful tips given. Only one complaint and that's the gratuitous TnA. It's subtle, but throughout every episode you get little flashes of breasts, buns, and cute girls sprinkled throughout. It's sinking a little low for Nat Geographic to pander like that. It detracts from the quality. Is that what the producer's felt was necessary to hold people's attention? I only mention it because so many advertisements are already targeting people with sex. It could even be a topic for Brain Games.

Even though an average (human) adult brain weighs only 3 lbs. and barely generates more than 12 watts of power, it's certainly a mighty complex mass of "grey matter" that can readily store and retrieve a million bits of information and help an average person to perform all sorts of tasks, some surprisingly complicated, some not.The 2-disc set that I watched contained 3, 1-hour episodes from the best of TV's "Brain Games" in its first season of 2011.Set in Las Vegas, Nevada - This is a very slick production that plays "perception/memory" games with its audience in order to find out if the viewer is, indeed, really paying attention (which, in most cases, we aren't).For the most part - I found Brain Games to be actually quite entertaining - But, when trying to get its point across - This show did, sometimes, resort to a fair amount of superfluous "hocus-pocus" type stuff.

I gave this show a chance, National geographic channel has put out some great shows (locked up abroad, documentaries, Alaska troopers among others etc) in the last few years and was surprised how bad this was. I am really baffled by this shows high ratings here.I watched one episode it comes off as extremely pretentious and more like to something I would be forced to watch in middle school science class rather than entertainment. The show consists of people being tricked over and over in different manners and claiming it is based in neurological science and "brain games" when in fact it comes across as pretentious, boring and extremely dull. Not funny, not clever, not based in actual science or any semblance of logic, if you enjoy watching a bunch of parlor tricks for a half hour then by all means watch this garbage show with little to no entertainment value I would rather not.

Just a little dog poop in the brownies. Shame on National Geographic! Could have been a great show except they intentionally include inappropriate content. Why?! I watched four episodes and they all had it. Bikinis, pole dancers, more bikinis. It's all about the science right? The three cheerleaders that "took their tops off" were wearing slightly revealing shirts underneath each with a large word on their chest which together said "Made, You, Look." Maybe, but now I'm angry and I for one choose not to look any more. Not that they care. For every one of me there are a hundred teenage boys and girls who will continue to look and National Geographic or whoever is behind them can continue to play their "mind games" on them. Who will take a stand?
