"I feel everything. Space, the air, the vibrations, the people, I can feel the gravity, I can feel the rotation of the Earth, the heat leaving my body, the blood in my veins. I can feel my brain. The deepest parts of my memory." – Lucy

Why watch this? This is excellent science fiction - it will engross you.

Plot Summary: Lucy is an American student in Taipei who finds herself forced into working as a drug mule for a dangerous drug lord, Mr. Jang. A synthetic, highly experimental drug is surgically implanted inside her abdomen for transport, but the package ruptures, leaking the potent chemical into her bloodstream. This accidental exposure begins to unlock extraordinary skills and abilities in Lucy, far beyond the typical 10% of brain use, and she embarks on a journey to understand and control her rapidly increasing mental capacity before her time runs out.

Dad's Preview: When Lucy is injected with too much of a radical new psychedelic drug, she acquires unexpected psycho-kinetic powers. As she changes, she becomes both hyper-inquisitive, and physically super-heroish, dispatching thugs like Black Widow. The ending is really mind-blowing, as she takes a final step to merge with massive super-computers and breach the space-time continuum! Johansson, as we're starting to expect, delivers another amazing performance. This is high-level science fiction, in the form of an excellent film.
