Oh the possibilities

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2014)

I like this new film by Luc Besson. A girl who mistakenly involves herself in a supposed drug deal gone bad. Marred with the notion that she must deliver a package, which was embedded into her stomach she is then assaulted by a group of gangsters who had nothing else to do while they were to transport her to a specified location for the delivery. Instead by her assault the package explodes in her stomach, which then integrated into her system with devastating results.
This result to give her the power of one hundred percent brain capacity, and usage. Now as her predicament heightens to new levels so does her power day by day. From a simple ten percent to twenty, and then thirty, and so on. With each level her powers grow to such a degree that she can traverse space, and time at the same time. Then to see the creation of the universe itself. I thought this was a very original scope of the human condition.
What was even more entertaining was to see Morgan Freeman play a professor of science who talks about that very subject of using all of our brain power. Paired with a French Cop Lucy then has to make it to Paris so she can download all of her knowledge before a group of Chinese gangsters who made her deliver the package in the first place arrives to stop her. This was a fantastic film with a wide range of possibilities. What if? What if the human mind will evolve to this degree? What if our minds are already taking the steps to push ahead? What if.
The only thing that developed in her condition is losing all emotions. Having her cells bombarded by new ones to replace the dead or dying cells with new fresh ones like a domino effect. Because of this revelation Lucy (Scarlette Johansen) knew she would die physically but not mentally or her life force. Besides the body is just a shell keeping our lives intact with each step of time. Luc Besson really came up with a good story. To intertwine with the infinite, and to see beyond our scope of understanding.
Great music, nice effects, and lots of action. Surreal or not. Highly recommended to those ages of 14 and above.
