Brain power

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2014)

Lucy starts off with the introduction of an ordinary girl who is trying to make it in Asia. Lucy simply stumbles across a bad situation and gets caught in an international drug ring. This sets off a series of events that create an expansion of Lucy's brain capacity. Research says that we use only 10% of our brain, but what if we could ramp it up and be able to use all of it. This would seem incredible but would this be ability that we would really want. Lucy is incredible, fast pace, full of suspense and points to questions, without passing judgment or being preachy.
Scarlett Johansson showcases her full broad skills as an actress as she transitions from a sex kitty to a genius scientific intellectual in the course of the movie. An remarkable movie that makes you think that sometimes it is better not to go full throttle but slow down and enjoy a smaller capacity and pace in the way we process the world around us. Lucy is a winner for those who like to think about the world of possibilities.
