Super Woman goes out of control-A "Space Oddessy" Ending

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2017)

Lucy is also the nickname of one of the earliest known primitive ape-like creatures that evolved into modern man. This Lucy (Scarlett Johanssen) is an American ex-patriate living in Taiwan. She is captured and turned into a drug-carrying "mule" with a package of a most powerful drug that she accidentally absorbs into her body. Things go terribly wrong. She slowly evolves into a super-being that makes Supergirl look like a panty-waist. She is able to control all manner of communication, and hooks up with a most learned professor played, of course by Morgan Freeman, in Paris. The Taiwanese "Mafia" wants their drugs back which leads to an action film with a very intense appetite for bloody carnage as people are stabbed and shot to death all over the place. Even she kills people. It saves time! She appears to regress back to the beginning of time as her brain usage approaches 100%. Us puny humans only use 10% of our brainpower while dolphins use up to 20%. So she has everything from x-ray vision to the ability to defy gravity and sticks her assassins, helpless, on the ceiling. She also has better diagnostic powers than a CAT or PET scan. She learns Chinese in an hour. She places all her total accumulation of knowledge into a pen-drive and disappears entirely. Some of the digital effects make no sense whatsoever as she "reaches out" to the mainframe computer in the University Office. She Tweets back "I Am Everywhere". A great mind-bending (far-out) light show that takes us back to the very beginning of time that is almost comprehensible, given the storyline. Stanley Kubrick and Douglas Trumbull would be proud. Totally entertaining if you can stand its brutally violent nature, but also totally preposterous and unbelievable.
