I'm not into Sci Fi so I'm not sure why I went to see Lucy. Maybe it was Scarlett Johansson or maybe it was just that the shorts really did show the best bits..... Whatever it was I ended up disappointed.
Johansson was centre screen for most of the movie and I couldn't pull my eyes away from her amazing lips - maybe that's what distracted me from the excitement of the movie itself, perhaps I missed the exciting bits on the peripheral?
The story itself is thought provoking; the evil scientist devises a drug that stimulates Lucy to use more than the 10% of usual brain function. However, as she uses more brain power the movie slips over the edge into the sci-fi realm. Using more brain power shuts down her feelings and Johansson does a great job of being unable to access those. However, for me that's where the heart and soul flies out the window.
I walked away shaking my head asking why I ever thought it might be of interest but Big Red thought it sat in the OK category. There was plenty of unbelievable action and it all moved at a fast pace but the come away was pretty empty. So, if you are not into sci-fi then don't bother.
Whether or not you are into Sci-fi it is interesting to have a think about how much of your brain you are using. I have been reading on and off for over a year about detoxing you brain. This is fascinating stuff and a little deeper than Lucy.
