movie Lucy (2014)my review

some plots are ridiculous, like which country really is the bad guy from? China, Japan or Korea?? feels like he changed three times.
any way. and why wouldn't Lucy kills him then? of course, need to save him for more killing, and action drama.
the car driving and gun shooting scene is so hollywood.
however, i do like the idea. what if we have 100% access to our brain capacity? think about that for a second, maybe it is good that we only use 10% of it, because the consequence can be quite frightening.
do enjoy the deep thinking and exploring/hypnosis of the idea.
now back to try to squeeze out a bit of my brain capacity. ;)  " it is up to you what you want to deal with it "

quotes for thoughts from the movie:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2872732/quotes

Lucy: Ignorance brings chaos, not knowledge.
Lucy: [At the end, voice over] Life was given to us a billion years ago. Now you know what you can do with it.
Pierre Del Rio: [During the high-speed car ride through Paris with Lucy driving] I'd rather be late than dead.
Lucy: We never really die.
 
Professor Norman: We humans are more concerned with having than with being.
Pierre Del Rio: Hey, where is she?
[Looks at his cell phone which shows text: "I am everywhere."]
Lucy: We've codified our existence to bring it down to human size, to make it comprehensible, we've created a scale so we can forget its unfathomable scale.

  1. Professor Norman: 100 billion neurons per human, of which only 50 percent are activated. There are more connections in the human body than there are stars in the galaxy. We possess a gigantic network of information to which we have almost no access.


and very interesting read from Times:
http://time.com/3045996/brain-lucy-science-10-percent-wrong/ 
 " There’s a reason the human brain is as wrinkled as it is and that’s because the more it grew as we developed, the more it bumped up against the limits of the cranium; the only way to increase the surface area of the neocortex sufficiently to handle the advanced data crunching we do was to add convolutions. Open up the cerebral cortex and smooth it out and it would measure 2.5 sq. ft. (2,500 sq cm). Wrinkles are a clumsy solution to a problem that never would have presented itself in the first place if 90% of our disk space were going to waste." 
now this makes more sense, and i don't feel too sorry for myself of not using more of my brain capacity since I probably am using quite a bit. :)
