Has anybody seen or going to see Lucy?

I saw it yesterday and loved it. I don't think that there is really a lot known about what would happen if man was able to access greater and greater % of brain function so I viewed it as a movie that presents one vision of possibilities. There is one comment that people tend to focus on the physical and not the mental which was interesting.

I figure that anybody anti-science, christian fundamentalist or uber conservatives might find their heads exploding over this movie.

If nothing else, it might make people think and that is not bad.

on Itunes. There is a lot there and I could watch it several times just on the dialogue speculating on brain function.

The way they piece the movie together is amazing.

I did not like the repeated nonsense of using only 10 percent of your brain. But then I found out it was Besson and I have always had a fondness for both him and french SF in general.

I do not go to theaters any more but I will certainly be seeing it when it becomes available in a home format.

But to repeat my initial objection that old saw about using only 10% of your brain is incorrect. Except for some republicans.

One of those movies, lots of violence, but makes you think a bit.

We ALL use 100% of our brains all the time. If you want to disconnect from that reality then I guess it would be an interesting show. I just can't get my head around it.

Scarlett Johansson on the other hand, I'd let to get my head aroun... Oops. Did I say that out loud?
