12 Sci Fi Films That Will Melt Your Brain
6. Lucy
Hang on, you’re probably thinking. What is some Luc Besson film doing on this list?
Starring Black Widow herself Scarlett Johannson during her “sci-fi weirdo” reinvention (shout out to Under the Skin, another underrated 2014 hit), Lucy is a 2014 action thriller from the Leon director which initially seems like a gender-flipped remix of the Bradley Cooper vehicle Limitless.
By its bizarre denouement, however, the film has moved into seriously trippy territory for a mainstream release, with its frankly insane and hard-to-decipher climax rivalling anything else on this list for sci-fi trippiness and affirming that, urban legend or not, no one should want to access that rumoured dormant 90% of their brain any time soon.
