I have this movie on Blu-ray. I like the main premise of it. The "what if" part. What if humans could make use of a higher percentage of their brain's capacity. What would that mean to humanity?
However the movie includes ridiculous amounts of action coming from impossibly contrived gangsters trying to traffic in a new drug that...coincidentally, and apparently accidentally, allows the occasional human to do actually that, make better use of their brain.
What if the screenplay did not include a non-stop series of extreme violence leading up to the climax. What if the movie had an entirely different pace?
At the end where Lucy ascends into that next plane of existence: that place where she can be anywhere and everywhere at once. Where she is in the television, the phone the computer the radio in your stereo. That runs parallel with some themes used in cyber-punk sci-fi novels (and movies) from the late 1980's and 1990's. You know, the Ghost in the Machine thing.
Anyway, I kind of liked the make-believe premise at center of this film. The 'what if' humans could learn how to use their brains to full capacity and what would that mean.
