About this listen

 Alright, darlings, hold onto your popcorn because we're diving headfirst into the sci-fi spectacle that is *Lucy*! Directed by Luc Besson—yes, the man who gave us *The Fifth Element*—this 2014 film is equal parts wild ride and brain-bending thought experiment. Scarlett Johansson stars as Lucy, a party girl turned superhuman after a synthetic drug, CPH4, leaks into her system. Forget using 10% of her brain—this girl goes full throttle to 100%, unlocking powers like telekinesis, time manipulation, and the most epic revenge spree ever put to screen.

But here’s the deal: *Lucy* doesn’t care about being realistic, and that’s its charm! It's a mashup of *Limitless* meets *Kill Bill*, with Morgan Freeman lending his soulful gravitas as Professor Norman—because, of course, Morgan Freeman explaining brain science is cinematic gold. And let’s not forget Choi Min-sik as Mr. Jang, the villain you *love* to hate.

Sure, the science is more fantasy than fact, but come on—do we watch action-packed sci-fi for a TED Talk? This movie thrives on bold visuals, over-the-top action, and Johansson’s hypnotic performance. From a nerve-wracking drug mule operation to Lucy literally bending space and time, the pace is relentless, the stakes sky-high, and the special effects? Chef’s kiss.

Is it perfect? No. The story veers into philosophical territory that’s a bit, well, bonkers. But you’ll be too entertained to care. At just under 90 minutes, *Lucy* is a sleek, stylish rollercoaster that asks: "What would you do with limitless potential?" My answer? Watch this fabulous slice of sci-fi chaos.
