This is going to be much more than my usual movie review
because - much to my astonishment - it addresses and builds a good to watch
movie/story about the still unknown powers of our brain.
Aside from the interesting explanations of the brain's
current capacities and future possible potential, what can be seen in a
wonderful cinematographic way is the brain of Lucy (Scarlet Johansson protagonist in this movie) as
it increases the percentage potential of her brain.
Not only she can travel through time, but she can learn and
absorb the content in knowledge of all the computers in the world, she learns
to speak Mandarin in few hours and what I liked most in this movie is when she
drives a police car totally crazily and tells to the passenger not to be afraid
to die, since our life on earth is just a stage of our existence.
Without spending too many words I link below - as I always
do - few interesting links to websites on this movie and say that this movie is
fully worth a case of beers with friends, so go ahead and make it yours!
