It takes a myth too far!

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2014)

Out of the two elements of Sci-Fi, Lucy is mostly Fi! It takes the simple myth that we only use a small portion of our brains' capacity to absurd lengths.
Comparison with 'Limitless' is inevitable as they both revolve around the same synopsis: the consequences of being able to use more of our brain. Limitless however, has a more firm footing in reality and takes a more humane approach.
Lucy has very little if any character development and scientific justifications. In any case, it can be entertaining merely because of the visual effects, Scarlett Johansson's presence or the daring, imaginative and not-bounded-by-science plot.
