Limitless

Great mix of what all these producers put together. Documentary of science combined with big time action actor. Love the cinematography, build up of story and sound combined with the challenges and openness.

It's like watching real life training to be invincible. Chris did it all. Very impressed. I couldn't do these tests. Surprised we haven't seen other actors show their training like this. Makes a ton of sense and is quite entertaining. Love that Chris brought his pals along for the ride.

I don't want to give much away but I think this was done real well and I still have 35 characters to write...

Chris Hemsworth is very personable and watchable. And that's a good thing because a lot of detail is missed in making this high production series photogenic. The experts are wasted, in my view.

Each episode starts with a challenge to illustrate the issue. Such as managing stress, fasting or cold water. That days expert is introduced. A beautiful graphic, in pop-up book style, shows the supposed benefit. Then there is a very superficial "preparation" shown. Chris does the challenge to dramatic music. There may also be vignettes of a tribe or religious monks who practice the discipline but no explanation of whether they will benefit.

So the program cheats the audience twice. The challenge is exactly that. A challenge. For example the stress of the week was to walk along a high crane. So Chris got some coaching from a psychologist. I wanted to hear more from her. The cheat was that this did not address the real killer stress whichever is the long, grinding lifestyle kind. Work mostly. But also family, finance and environment.

The second cheat was the supposed preparation. I believe Chris did the work. But it was not shown. So the cold water swim, another challenge, had a a tiny bit on acclimation. Some surfing in a fjord. There is some evidence of benefits, and it would have been nice to see Chris increasing his exposure gradually. As I'm sure he did.

However, if this gets people interested then it will be a good thing.

This six episode docu-series is entertaining to watch, and, at times, educational - in a very fun way. Limitless With Chris Hemsworth tests the limits of the human body and finds what may lead to a longer life.

Limitless With Chris Hemsworth follows -- you guessed it -- Chris Hemsworth, occasionally with his friends and family, on a six-episode journey to find ways to boost longevity and quality of life.

It's fascinating to see some unexpected ways we could achieve longevity and a better life. Of course, not all of these actions can and/or should be imitated by the average person, but there are ways that you can modify what's in the episodes and apply it to your own life. Examples include fasting for one day a month or turning the shower on cold for the last 30 seconds or spending time in a sauna - these practices can help lead to a longer life. Some of the episodes include Stress-Proof, Memory, and Strength. My favorite episode is Acceptance, where Chris gets to experience firsthand what it's like to be old and how to accept that. I really found it interesting to watch Chris Hemsworth outside of the MCU and be just himself. It adds something more personal and makes the audience feel connected to him in a new way.

The message of Limitless With Chris Hemsworth is to accept aging because it's a part of life, and yet there are ways to make life healthier and longer lasting. There are some very risky things done in this show that should not be done without expert supervision.

I give Limitless With Chris Hemsworth 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. This series comes out on Disney+ November 16, 2022. By Katherine S., KIDS FIRST!

The series was tailored for Hemsworth measurements, as he is an athlete by nature so he was able to perform the required activities.

So it is fun to watch him training and struggling and joking about it, but in terms of quality content, for me there were no revelations, anyone who is interested in the sciense of aging and watches related youtube channels already knows the basics that are presented in the episodes. It's devestatiing still, to see that we have some tools we can use to slow aging and the deterioration of the bodt, and mainly prevent hard deseases such as cancer and brain function in old age but still it's clear, even in Limitness, that nothing really stops aging. All the old peaple shown in these episodes looks old, they may be in better shape and more vital then many others and without deases but they look at there age and not younger meaning that the aging process does not stop, yet the body is still able to function better and the person does not suffer from illness which is common in old age. I think that in 20 years when people will watch this it will still be relevant. Fasting, wordout, stress management, exposure to heat and cold, we know it's healthy and beneficial, but still, non of it will add many years to your life (it may add some, but the chances to pass 100 is very low no matter what you do, the human body geneticlly is programed to last for a limited time which can be extended a bit, but not much more). A reminder is that the oldest people on earth where not athletes, did not fast, did not expose themselfs to very hot or cold temp, and did nothing except being active and not eating too much. The bottom line is that today we can do things that will allow us to live and still be active till our 90s maybe, to avoid dying prematurely from cancer or heart deases, so extending the time we have without the suffereing of illness, and add some quaility years to our lives, but at the end aging can't be stoppes with any of these tools. A new technology and can impact DNA is required and it will take many years to find it.

Some episodes (naturally) interested me more then others, but there all beautifully shot, beautiful landscapes. The information bits inbetween are well done, informative, interesting and bite sized. Chris's voice over and narration is great.

Chris in this in general is funny, and brings his friends on these crazy rides. The episodes I've seen even inspired me to think about these aspects of health. Like I said the cinematography is great, and the episodes have this theme where they show a different story of someone else that compliments the main story, this really makes this fresh. One episode kind of made me feel being on a an adventure and wanting to try to embrace the cold aswell a bit more.

Would recommend giving this show a watch, even if you end up enjoying some episodes more than others.
