Lucy is forced into an illegal drug trading scheme. Through an accident, the drug is released in her body. The drug causes the mind to evolve beyond its average potential. As her brain continues to evolve her body dies.
This film was directed by Luc Besson. Okay, first off, I would not look to this film for any factual science. In truth, it feels more like a comic origins story more than anything else. However, it plays several familiar notes to other popular action science fiction films. Morgan Freeman's role was to narrate what is happening to Lucy as her brain's functionality increases. Even though this makes the film cheesy, it allows it to spend more time with character development and action. Unfortunately, the action was really unnecessary. Lucy is so powerful, even during the middle of the film, that all her villains should've already been dead. Since she is also so powerful, there isn't a whole lot of thrill for the audience. With all this action happening it takes away from the philosophical messages placed in the film. However, the computer animation used in this film were great to watch on screen. The segments of animal references weren't needed. Scarlett Johansson played the role of Lucy. Scarlett has found her acting cliche in strong female action roles; which isn't an entirely bad deal. Her acting kept this film from falling over the edge, and made you truly feel for the main character. Min-sik Choi played the role of Mr. Jang. He was set-up to be the villain. However, the story didn't allow him to stand out in any real way.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a great action science fiction film. Even if its story can feel obscure.
This film can be found on DVD.
