This movie is criminally underrated. For some reason so many people simply refused to get on board with the premise of a SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE because that's not actually how the brain works. I knew so many people that couldn't get past that while having absolutely no issue with far more outlandish premises in other movies. Perhaps the theming of anchoring it to reality and the nature cutaways brought that on, but I really couldn't understand that backlash.

[@antoniochasten3192]

Love Luc Besson films. Maybe not so much Valerian but that's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. It's wild to think that this movie made $469M at the box office off a $40M budget. I have the steel book to this Le Femme Nikita, The Professional and The Fifth Element. I haven't found one for From Paris With Love but that's another criminally underrated film, IMO.

[@CuddleCakez]

Meh most sci fi has their own in universe rules that work along side real world science. Just making the entire premise about a long debunked scientific theory is harder to care about.

@@BigBear-- maybe because she is considered having one of the best career in cinema even by other great actors. Your analogy is useless. You may not like MS but she knows her craft and is a pinnacle of great acting by most. If you want to involve your plumber, it would be like having him tell you his insight on a new plumbing tool. Because you assume he knows his craft, you take his insight as expert knowledge. Whether you agree or not, that is your choice. Her opinion matters, but the choice of agreeing with her is on you.

[@Mr.Existence]

This movie shows us we ARE life itself. We're not just living in the universe, we ARE the universe. Lucy becoming "everywhere" is about realizing this deep connection. When we learn about history or evolution, we're really just discovering our own past. We're not separate from Earth or the cosmos - it's all one connected thing. What people call "god" is the universe itself, which includes all of us. It's one thing to think about this, but actually feeling that connection would be a whole different experience.

[@5Akecheta4]

Well ok, God "being the universe itself" is a dramatic stretch for you to say.. (no I'm not religious but I'm pointing that out)

[@Mr.Existence]

​@@5Akecheta4 "God as the universe" isn't about religion - it's the reality of our existence. We are all interconnected parts of one vast cosmic system. Just as cells form a body, we form the living universe. This isn't just an idea, it's the truth of our being. We're not separate from the cosmos - we are the cosmos experiencing itself. People who meditate deeply often experience this oneness firsthand. Once you grasp this, you'll see your place in the universe completely differently. You're not just in the world - you are the world, in all its infinite creativity and wonder.

You know it's a movie, right? Its "meaning" is the quest for dollars. Nothing more or less.

Such a severely underrated movie. Scarlett is phenomenal in this.

[@eolsunder]

not underrated. Pretty boring, trying to be artistic and failing, and she is droll and boring most of the movie, trying to be "celestial" or something. Isn't a good movie.

[@Gavrev]

The beauty of this film is that it can be inaccurate, filled with speculation and wild abandon - it is in itself an exercise in experience, a muscle workout for the imagination of the viewer. One thing which stops some people enjoying movies like this is by not surrendering to the distinction between science fiction and science fantasy. There can even be, as with this movie, a blurring of the lines. Those aspects of movies which fail science fact can do so because of lazy writing but at times the reach for a feeling can produce some wild art. This movie, along with a few in my own personal collection, falls into such a category.

[@mightheal]

When I saw the film for the first time I figured the creators saw Limitless and said they can do it better.

[@ashleyneku5432]

Sad because Limitless came out at least a couple of years prior and did more with a similar concept and didn't feel the need to stretch into "controlling other people/matter" territory, which is what turned a lot of people off of Lucy. The beginning and the setup and the cinematography is great...until she becomes a wizard. Then you're either on board with the silly or...you're not. Lucy could have been a great gender-flipped scenario of Limitless, where she is instead a victim whereas Bradley was a willing participant.

[@mannygee005]

I saw Limitless... Did the guys try to make money from their "powers" - it sort-of tries to tell the audience that you cannot make money unless you have powers. I'll check it out again... I gotta see if they went "wall street" and who is cheering them on.

They are a convention, a language we decided would be used to try to describe reality, therefore drastically reducing it to an understandable superficial and simple form. So Terrence claiming that 1 + 1 doesn't equal 2 is just a proposal for a new set of conventions allowing us to better understand the universe and with that, to reach a new level in evolution (according to him of course).

During this time, Scarlett Johansson starred in some incredible films, including *Under the Skin* (2013), *Her* (2013), and of course, *Lucy* (2014). *Lucy* is a wildly imaginative film by Luc Besson, who has been known for creating powerful female lead roles starting with *La Femme Nikita* (1990), *Léon: The Professional* (1994) with a young Natalie Portman, *The Fifth Element* (1997), and *The Lady* (2011) starring Michelle Yeoh, based on the true story of Aung San Suu Kyi, among many others. *Lucy* is a highly underrated movie because it does not follow conventional narrative structures. We follow Lucy, a good person who made some questionable decisions but ultimately became a force for good, gaining near-deity-like abilities by the end. Some argue that we didn’t get enough of her characterization, but we were given enough of her humanity before she became an unstoppable force. Once she realized she had become something more, she made a personal phone call to her parents, appreciating their love. Towards the end, when the police officer asked what he could do despite her not needing him anymore, she replied, "As a reminder," and then kissed him. She knew she was becoming more than human and didn’t want to lose the humanity that was left in her. Finally, in her last moment, she gave all of her knowledge to the scientists in the hope that they would put it to good use.

I use to watch this movie all the time!! Such an underrated movie

[@NathanStone-dc3nz]

I loved this for some reason. The idea and story rather than anything else.

[@AkronRain69]

This movie is fantastic. Glad you two got to experience it! 👍🏾

[@txsportsfreak02]

Wait wait hol up y'all never saw Lucy!?

[@michaelwilder9938]

What gave it away, the title, the fact this is a movie channel for movies they haven't seen, or what, you mean the fact they literally say they haven't seen it repeatedly in the beginning of the video? You must be a genius

[@txsportsfreak02]

@@michaelwilder9938 lol. Well stated point.

[@lachazASMR]

I loved this movie. Well made and a premise that was very unique.

[@elizabitty213]

Great movie!! I love movies like this in the sci-fi realm that stretches your brain and gives you the idea of something that seems semi plausible lol I mean far fetched ofcoarse but still, there is a lot about what the brain can do that we don’t know 😅❤

[@frederickthompson1546]

Besides GOT, her sleazy friend at the beginning also starred with Scarlett in Ghost in the Shell.

If y'all have never seen Oldboy, Choi Min-shik, who plays the gangster here, kills.

[@keithkurumaji3886]

He's, also, known for "I SawThe Devil". Very famous in his home country.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

Noooooo don't recommend that one. Nikki will be DEVASTATED. that movie is a tough watch. And the ending....... 😬

[@keithkurumaji3886]

@@tbrrrdmn See your point. Good movie, though. However, the ending of "Oldboy" is one of the most disturbing flicks I've ever seen.

[@Brolojojo]

One of my favourite movies ever

STILL ONE OF MY FAVS AND STILL SO UNDERRATED

[@mararundell2500]

Hard to believe this movie is 10 years old! I've loved it that long too. Thanks for a great reaction.

[@sharonjoan1970]

Love y'all are watching this, Lucy has always be a Favorite of mine❤🖤❤

[@carlyoshihara4502]

I’ve watched Nobody, The Accountant, and Lucy at least three times already, at year ago! At least you’re getting to them. Love your channel!

[@dennishutchins]

FYI: The "We only use 10% of our brain." thing was debunked well before this movie was shot.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Except the line in the movie is about capacity. It's a little more nuanced. Those brains scans do show we use all areas of our brains, but not all the time. At any one time, about 10-15% of the brain is in use.

[@ctakitimu]

@@JeshuaSquirrel functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), can measure activity in the brain while a person is performing different tasks. Using this and similar methods, researchers show that most of our brain is in use most of the time, even when a person is performing a very simple action.

[@TechNextLetsGo]

Can you think of everything you know all at once? She can.

[@jostrich21]

Agreed, but most of the public do not know things.

[@MrHale]

Why can't I access all my memories when I want to access them? Why can't I remember where I put my keys and 10 minutes later it hits me that I left them hanging on my door? Why some can learn a skill in 2 hours and for someone else it takes 2 years? It's definitely not as blatant like in this movie, but we definitely can't use all of our brain capacity.

[@stevenrollings337]

Hi Nikki and Steven! This is one of my all time favourite movies. So underrated... and i love your reactions as you ask 'wtf is going on?' I would describe it as a very unique movie. Nothing else like it. Can you imagine watching this in the cinema when it first came out in 2014? ... an absolutely amazing experience!

[@ImJamieX]

very underrated movie... and the real reason people hate on it could be their attraction for scarlett, at the end she essentially dies as she becomes a part of everything. and you cant fuck something that isn't there.... there's tons of other movies with bs made up science that people have no issue getting behind (Limitless, Transcendence.. hell even Inception) so there must be another reason no? just saying.

[@Pink.andahalf]

I remember Limitless didn't even try to be scientific. The pill was basically magic, but had defined rules it stuck to. This film had a veneer of science it relies heavily on, while being complete nonsense by the last 20 minutes. It's not a bad movie, but it is a very hard sell to a lot of people.

[@EFUwazurike]

31:40 Terrance Howard has unlocked 60% of his brain I think 😂

[@bigdream_dreambig]

A "more approachable" movie based on a similar concept that I recommend is Limitless (2011), starring Bradley Cooper.

[@marcotroop]

YASSS! Loved season 3. It's when I really started getting into the series. So excited for this watch! Also, I agree on Grams. She gives that, "What are you gonna do, I'm already drad energy." Lol

[@vickyh910]

Watch Leon the professional.

[@isadio6580]

One of the most brilliant movies ever. Like Limitless, my favourites. ❤

[@mthead_creations]

"The world is round" 😅 Love it 😂❤. I love this film. Great review!

[@chard2534]

This movie is about evolution, what we are capable to become. One of the biggest liberties this movie took was that there's too much electricity generated in connecting neurons for our current form to handle. Our heads would literally catch fire, but it's ScarJo so we'll let it slide since her skull would have to drastically change to be able to hold all of that electricity. Whoever commented saying we use 100% of brain is only a little correct. We use 100% but 10%, on average, at a time. See prior statement as to why we can't use more %. Our brains are made to evolve. Check out Neural Pruning. Humans are born with hundreds of millions of more neurons than we have as an adult. This allows a new being the ability to adapt to its surroundings as quickly as possible for survival. Once the brain realizes which neurons have not been used, it starts to shed/eliminate the excess of neurons so the brain can function with more efficiency. This process is called Neural Pruning and ends around the age of 6. On the basis of this known and thoroughly researched process, one could hypothesize what the full capability of the human brain could be if more areas were stimulated before the end of the Neural Pruning process. But this knowledge has not been shared effectively enough. "Humans are more concerned with having than being."

[@unkind6070]

No this is completely not true this movie is built on science fiction and we indeed use 100% of our brain 👍🏻

Lucy is my favorite Scarlett Johansson movie.

[@highlandmary33]

Lucy’s speech about time… going faster it will disappear… etc. were all things i knew innately - i dont/never did do drugs. So watching this the first time, i was screaming inside..”See! Im not the only one who knows this!”

[@user-eb5gd4gm2w]

this movie feels like what taking psychedelics are like

[@efetherman]

Lucy looks at the scans, patient takes a dive, Lucy does not kill the doctor for being greedy.

[@CraigWelchans]

Check out the movie Limitless with Bradley Cooper. Very similar
