Movie 2014.12.30 - Lucy

Movie is about a woman (by the name of Lucy) who overdoses on synthetic CPH4, and activates 100% of her cerebral capacity. Written and directed by Luc Besson, the movie has great visuals and amazing action sequences, but the storyline is a bit weak. Too much scientific mumbo jumbo, and too much time spent trying to explain said mumbo jumbo to the audience. Also, if you have four pouches of super dope CPH4, would you trust them to random people you picked up from the street? Then go all-in with your whole gang to retrieve them? Why not just cut your losses and cook up a new batch in the lab?

So what can you achieve once you go beyond the standard 10% mental capacity? You can feel everything that happens in your body. You can feel your bones growing, your cells splitting, your body heat being emitted, etc. You can remember everything that has happened to you - all the way back to when you were born. You don't feel pain or desire. You can listen to people's conversations, even at a distance in any language. You can control electronic devices like TV, phones, laptops, etc. You can read people's minds. You can change your hair colour and style at will. At 60%, you can drive like a French cabbie. You can physically control people and inanimate objects (think guns and knives). You can create invisible force fields. At 70%, you can travel through time (backwards only), while sitting on a chair. You can manipulate matter and information. You start to lose yourself and morph into a black supercomputer with lots of spikes. At 100%, you become a USB stick. I wonder what storage capacity it has if it's meant to contain ALL known information in the world.
