Starting from an intentionally simple plot, the film tries to build an unstable building that mixes an existential story with elements of action, the origin of the universe with frenetic persecutions through the streets of Paris, and all over the shoulders and heels of Scarlett Johannson.

Opinion
What would we be capable of if we use the whole brain? If each of the millions of neurons that make up the human brain functioned at once, could we become a superhuman? That is the premise of this movie.
Lucy starts the movie being an ordinary girl, we could even say that she is not very smart, among other things because she is tricked by an untrustworthy friend, which introduces her into a problem with the gangsters, causing them to force her to transport an experimental drug inside your body. Then, and because of that, the drug ends up penetrating his body, so Lucy becomes a superintelligent woman, and her brain begins to perform better than other humans.
We could place the film within the fantasy genre because of its dominant concept, however, in visual terms the film becomes an action movie, with violent mafias, where the weapon scenes are shown to fill the empty spaces of the plot.
The best thing about the film is the presence of Scarlett Johansson, who is completely committed to her role. At the beginning of the story we see the vulnerability of his character in a situation limit, and as the plot progresses, she is the only one that gets the viewer to sympathize with the evolution of his character.

Score
5/10
I think the film is regular, it can serve to pass a time when you do not have something better to do, since you do not need to use 10% of your brain to understand it, but if your time to watch movies is scarce, I recommend seeing another movie instead of this one.
