Premiere Screening Review: Lucy

I am everywhere.


It's my first review of #NNpremierescreening, I know I'm lazy but I decided to write about this. No, it's not because the movie is good. If any of you considering to watch Lucy, I suggest you to watch The 100 Foot Journey instead (reviews coming up next!) 

Lucy started off with animals, and monologue which I do not understand. Or probably didn't bother to think what is all that suppose to mean. To be honest, I can hardly remember what is happening but this is how the whole story started. 

The movie stars Scarlett Johansson (plays Lucy), along with Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked and Choi Min Sik. As the poster shows, the whole movie is basically about what will happen to a person if they are able to utilize the 100% of their brain capacity.

Story starts when Lucy was forced to deliver a suitcase which contains a new type of drugc called CPH4 to Mr Jang (Choi Min-Sik). She was captured and a crazy huge bag of drug that she delivered was forcibly sewn into her abdomen. Another 3 drug mules and Lucy were sent to different part of Europe, mainly to transport the drug for sales. While Lucy is in captivity, she was harassed by one of her captors and when she fought back, the captors kicked her stomach, and cause the leakage of the drug into her body.



After the leakage, Lucy somehow realize that she can use 100% of her brain capacity, she don't feel pain and began to increase her physical and mental capabilities. She can do all the things that is beyond imagination, such as controlling others' movement. She then went to the hospital to get the bag of CPH4 removed from her body. Morgan Freeman plays Prof Samuel Norman which is a well known scientist and doctor who does researches about human brain, Lucy seek for Prof Norman's help and they worked together closely, Lucy discusses the nature of time and life and so on. 


Choi Min-sik plays Mr Jang, evil and merciless guy. He was the guy behind who send Lucy and the other 3 drug mules to different parts of Europe and when Lucy returns to his hotel, kills his bodyguards, that's when he knows that he has to do something. At the climax of the movie, he enters Professor Norman's lab and points a gun at Lucy's head from behind, wanting to kill her, but when he shoots and right before the bullet strikes, Lucy disappears! 

Want to know why? and how? It's up to you whether you want to watch and find out :p

Till then, xx
