Check out Scarlett Johansson. She looks anxious! Well, wouldn't you, if you suddenly had super powers foisted upon you by accident? Ha!
OK, let's back up a bit. LUCY is a really stupid, fun movie! Do the two sometimes go together? Of course!
No spoiler, but here's the gist of the film. Poor Scarlett is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Duped by a sleezy boyfriend, she ends up the target of a very bad villain. The bad dude uses her and some other innocents as drug mules....
But the drugs Scarlett carries are straight out of sci-fi: they have a mind altering effect. How? Well, the substance seems to allow Scarlett to use 100% of her brain! Big shocker, because science supposedly tells us that we use under 10% of our cerebrum.
Scarlett's brain expands! The world becomes her oyster! BAM!!!
Scarlett becomes capable of mind over matter and even seems to have the ability to travel through time! Who would have guessed that we could do so much with our heads? Haha.
Oh, this film is truly fun. NO details about the where the plot goes, but just imagine lots of great graphics and see our female victim turn into conqueror!
Luc Besson is the creative writer director behind this sci-fi original. Morgan Freeman rounds out the cast.
If you like futuristic films, and you enjoy a lot of bad guy vs good guy shooting scenes, this film is for you !
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
One bit of advice: Leave your intelligence elsewhere as you suspend disbelief and marvel at one very unusual, innovative, aesthetic sci-fi thriller.
