I don't know why I like #Lucy (2014) so much. The science ("We use only a small fraction of our brains") is utter twaddle. I didn't realize that was Scarlett Johansson; she's good! But the basic "ordinary person gets super powers, fights bad guys, transcends time and space" is somehow very appealing. I could watch several (interestingly different) takes on this!
She does seem to randomly kill a few perhaps-innocent people near the beginning. I suppose we're supposed to assume she super-knew that they were bad guys...
"Professor Norman, my name is Lucy I just read all of your research on the human brain we need to meet."
Very much reminds me of "My name is Alice... and I remember everything."
Which was apparently Milla Jovovich.
"Scary actresses becoming dangerously post-human" for 400, Alex.
The special effects are good, too.
The kiss is certainly fanservice, if you will. But not excessively.
Automatic weapons are just bad, 'kay?
Easy to read extreme Asiaphobia here too, of course. All too easy.
Sister Rust, I need you now.
Cause I've got a feeling.
It's you and me again, waiting for the credits to end.
Now and forever.
With something in our hearts, that if we were to stop, would pull us away.
There's nothing we can do, to stop feeling this blue.
Anyway.
