Reminded me of Transcendence

Rating: 4/10 (28 July 2014)

Spoiler Alert! Don't read on if you don't want to have any idea of what happens... if you don't care I'll give you my interpretation of this film. Lucy's friend Richard tells her to deliver a briefcase to a drug lord. The briefcase has a new drug which seems to make people smarter. Lucy and 3 others are forced to carry the drug in their bellies to be later removed when they reach Europe. Lucy is beat up and kicked in the tummy by one of her captors which ruptures the bag and she overdoses on this new drug via her tummy. Instead of dying she is now much smarter but only has a short time to live. As the hours go by during the day her brain unlocks regions that were not accessible before, when she reaches 100% no one knows what will happen, but she says she will no longer be alive as we know it. For some reason she allows the drug lord to live while she kills a lot of his crew and finds out where the other 3 people were delivering the drugs to because she needs the rest of the new drug. She gets the rest of the drug pouches and is now being tracked down by the drug lord. She reaches 100% and goes back in time, you see some indians, dinosaurs, stuff in space, then she goes back to the present, the drug lord shoots her while she is then turning herself into the ultimate gaming computer, he misses, he's shot dead by a french cop. She then turns herself into a new type of organic PC which then ejects a 2GB USB stick which is inconveniently long and holds every answer there is to every question that's ever been asked. So you've been given billions of years of life, now you know what to do with it. I'm not kidding, that's what the movie shows. Here's my version: she never made it out of the cell where they were holding her captive before her flight. Once the captor kicked her in the stomach, the bag broke and she OD'd. The rest of the movie was her drug trip, but in real life she was laying there, looking like a crack head wanting another hit, moving her hands as if the world was an IPhone, and then she died. The point of the movie: Kids, don't do drugs! I think Transcendence's version of how someone becomes so intelligent that they can control matter was better than this movie. It seems like they really didn't know what to do at the end. Since we can only use 10% of our brains how could we ever know or imagine what could be done with 100%? So they decided to add dinosaurs and space stuff for the oooh's and ahhh's.
