The film sees Scarlett Johansson as the unfortunate woman who gets kidnapped and is forced to act as a carrier for a dangerous drug cartel who has placed his cargo somewhere very safe – inside her. Meanwhile Morgan Freeman plays a scientist whose main interest is in the human brain. Do you know that the average human only utilises a mere 10% of their brain capacity? And what if we could use 100%, interesting things will surely begin to happen? And from what we can see, they sure do.
This sci-if, almost punk, Mad Max setting recalls The Fifth Element, but with such effects we have today the CGI looks astounding. The films title immediately gets you thinking of Lucy, and associations with the missing link. Even from this glimpse it seems as this Lucy embodies such traits. Her humanity is fading, much like our current reliance on technology and the normal way of human interaction is severely diminishing. Freeman States that man kind won't be ready for what is to come, but I certainly am! Lucy appears to be an exciting action feature with the added bonus of Sci-Fi fantasy.
Catch Lucy in cinemas from 22nd August 2014.
