Lucy Reveals and Reviews: Intellectual Movie on Brain Usage Illustrates Johansson's Debut as an Action Star after Avengers and the Winter Soldier

Brains over brawn every time as Lucy was released on the big screen on July 25th this year. It managed to garner $44 million on the box office compared to the Rock's Hercules which attained some 29 million dollars. The movie begins with a prehistoric scene and a voice that narrates the beginning of the human race. It fast forwards to Johansson, a student getting as she unwittingly goes about her life in the present era. She is having a dispute with her European Richard (Danish actor, Pilou Asbaek). We go the party scene where someone gets her to ingest large quantities an unknown drug. Its properties are supposed to expand the minds abilities exponentially. Apparently, the concept of the movie is about the fallacy of people only using 10 percent of the brain at any given time.

Johannson, the unwitting drug mule gets into a situation with a ruthless smuggler that gets her kicked in the gut, releasing the contents of the package in her tummy and blood stream. The result is instant as she instantly becomes extremely aware of her surroundings outwitting her assailants with ease. As the drug courses and accelerates her neo-cortex, she soon starts to have abilities that even she could not anticipate, including mind control, telekinesis and awareness of more dimensions that the human mind can understand. This follows a similar concept illustrated by the movie Limitless, acted by Bradley Cooper, where a mind altering drug is leaked to an inadvertent unsuccessful writer who rises to greatness.

The difference is this drug seems to be evolving Johansson with time as she her brain capacity usage increases to a 100 percent. With the aid of a French policeman Pierre Del Rio, Lucy embarks on a path of destruction against her original captors, Kang and his men to get to the bottom of the drug origin. The movie is quite enjoyable because at first Lucy seems helpless at the whims of the drug traffickers and smugglers but soon it seems like they get more than they can chew on, not being a match for her mental powers. The special effects and concepts in this movie are quite something. This is the intellectual movie to watch if you are into brains with a lot of action, even though it is based on a scientific fallacy of brain usage.
