Not a good movie

Rating: 3/10 (10 December 2014)

Form the start I think that the title of the movie was a good choice. It wanted to create the mental image of the oldest human fossils which Lucy.
The movie begins when splitting up cells are caught on camera. Shortly after that we see a chimp in prehistoric times drinking form a lake. Then Scarlett Johansson narrates by saying that is how life begins which was a good introduction.
The movie takes place when Scarlett Johansson is studying in Taiwan and is dating Pilou Asbaek a drug dealer she met at a nightclub. Pilous has a delivery to Min-sik Choi When he tricked Scarlett and cuffs her to the briefcase forcing her to make the delivery her self. Regardless of her options she is forced to meet Min-sik Choi, who acts like a dangerous drug lord who kills ends up killing Pilous. Scarlett then discovers that the briefcase contains the synthetic drug as she is forced to work for Min-sik Choi as drug mule with three other men and transport the drug to Europe hidden in their abdomens. However one of her captors kicks her in the abdomen and releases the drug in her body. Soon Scarlett enhances her brain capacity and develops her physical and mental capabilities. She uses her abilities to kill the criminals and flees. However her power does not stop increasing and is destroying her unless she gets more of the drug to stabilize her body.She contacts Morgan Freeman, who takes the role of an authorized brain expert, and becomes her only hope to save her. But the drug lord wants to retrieve his drug and is hunting Scarlett down.
Scarlett Johansson who plays the role of Lucy who tired her best to making it look like an outstanding movie. She tired to give her best performance in all aspects on the Lucy's role. Pilou Asbaek had to take the role of an emotional helpless deliveryman which he did a horrible job. I think he could have done a better job if he was given another scene in the movie. Min-sik Choi took the role of a drug lord which he did a good job. Morgan Freeman did a great job on taking his part of the scene regardless of the movie. Amr Waked took the his scene has an officer of the law who ended out on being on Scarlett Johansson side has done a good job regardless of acting as a confused officer.
The things I liked form the movie was how it was collaborated and the performance of Scarlett Johansson, Min-sik Choi and Morgan freeman. They are the ones who tired to make the movie seem real. But there are also some drawbacks after the 30 minutes in to the movie is where there is too much fake science and unrealistic events happen. They made the movie seem childish and pointless.
The lesson to be learnt here from this movie is trust people wisely. Not everyone act like what they look like. People have a different background regardless of their story. Always looks are deceiving no matter what their character is all about.
If you like science fiction this is the movie for you. I would recommend it for kids from 8-10 years old. Form my point of view this is a horrible and pointless movie ever directed and made. This is the worst Sic-fi thriller movie.
When rating this movie, it deserver's a 3 out of 10 because of its unrealistic features. If they had removed some of the unrealistic features it would have been a great movie given to its storyline.
