...then you seem to have missed a small detail: what happened to Travolta�s character was that he developed a glioma (a type of brain tumor, which usually is lethal), and his brain cells multiply, making him incredibly smarter, and increasing potentialities usually not developed.
Of course, when one of those tumors develops, what happens is quite different from what you see in this film..., but then that�s how things end.

Yes, but we don't find out about the tumor until very near the end, For most of the film his powers are unexplained and frightening to most.

  The marketing of the movie and the "marketing part" of the story should have been left on the cutting room floor. It would have been a far more interesting story if the true phenomenon had been known early on in the movie. A lot more lasting drama could have been created and sustained by how an innovative mind meets with outside opposition as well as the self destructive madness that often accompanies brilliance.
  Instead, it's a cheap mystery that isn't worth watching again because the mystery has already been explained.
