This film received positive feedback from the audience and critics in the first place due to the non-triviality of the plot, it was also a box office success, and As a story, I think you'll either love it or leave it as it contains all the traditional elements of good SciFi. Also, At the same time, it's so outside the box, it doesn't fit into any one genre because It's Action-filled, Cerebral, Intellectual, Metaphysical, Medical, and Gadget driven.
From what I looked online from the movie, The idea of the film was adapted from a work by Roberta Ensona.
The main character was a twenty-five year old girl named Lucy. She came to Taiwan to study and there she met a new friend - a young man named Richard. So after their friendship blossom
Main role was played by Scarlett Johansson. Morgan Freeman played Norman.
The acting of the characters are really great I must say, and Johansson does a remarkable job of portraying the transition of doe eyed girl to the calculating and dangerous super-powered femme fatale.
This movie is mind-blowing. There are a fair share of movies that take up what would happen if brain capacity was adjusted but Lucy is different from all those partly because of Scarlett Johanson's awesome acting and partly because the way they deal with the concept is quite distinct. While Lucy (the character) has a few bad-ass, wipe-the-floor-with-the-bad-guys scenes, they don't make her (or the movie) just about that. The movie was more about uncovering the unexplored than about her being a superhero who could do literally anything.
Its an amazing movie and definitely recommended.
