Lucy (2014)
Even though the subject matter is of something quite profound, the film, in my view, did not live up to its name.
Scarlett Johansson assumes the role of a high invincible superhuman in one bizarre situation where she trapped to be a drug mule of a cartel to carry a bag of brain stimulant named CPH4. CPH4 is supposedly produced in minute amounts by pregnant mothers to aid the growth of foetuses. So when the package in Lucy's stomach (Scarlett Johansson) starts leaking after she is punched in the tummy, the drug stimulates her brain. The pharmacological effect of brain function is narrated cleverly by Prof Samuel Norman (Morgan Freeman).
Man, over the generations, have only been using less than 10% of his brain function. CPH4 gradually increases brain power till its use reaches 100%! With increasing use, man develop telekinetic power, extreme brute force and even travels time when it reaches 100%.
This film boasts of fantastic cinematographic prowess and awe but it did not impress me as the story appeared way too wishy-washy!
