I am everywhere

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2020)

A female American college student on an exchange trip to Taiwan gets caught up in a horrible drug deal and turns into a drug mule. When the drug she's forced to carry inside her body leaks into her system, she gains unimaginable powers that unlock her brain's full potential. Speaking of which, Lucy is based on the popular fallacy that we humans use only a small percentage of our brain, about 10%. But I have never before seen a movie that takes full advantage of a fallacy and made it so entertaining. Like Luc Besson's other films, he takes a simple, corny story and executes it so well. I remember seeing it in the theater and how mind-blown I was. The film's lessons and theories about how life evolves on earth and how the foundations of math and science are mere sketches and the capability of the brain. It makes one wonder: what if we could use all of our brain capacity at once? Would we be able to make things move with our minds? Could we change our appearances? Could we teleport? Because the film's philosophies are incredible but the plot itself is a bit silly, I'm giving it an 8/10.
