It seems the movie does rely on the pseudoscientific claim that human beings only use ten percent of their brains. Otherwise, though, Lucy looks wonderfully insane as Johansson goes from a drug mule at the mercy of her captors to a superhuman with remarkable control over her body and a diminishing capacity for mercy. Plus, we get Morgan Freeman as the neuroscientist who attempts to understand what is going on with Lucy’s brain. via i09
Here’s the first trailer for Lucy, an action packed science fiction film by French director, Luc Besson, starring Scarlett Johansson. The trailer is stunning. Lucy seems to offer visual treats beyond its leading actress. The film will be released in theaters on August 8th, 2014.
Plot Summary
