On the surface level 2014
Luc Besson film
Lucy starring
Scarlett Johansson is a scientific thesis that is trying to say some grand truth about the world, while pretending to be an action film, to make people go see it. On the other hand though, it is an action film that injects a lot of profound-sounding pretentious pseudo scientific bullshit, to make itself appear as something better than it is: a dumb action movie. Which one of them is it? Or did I miss something?

We all know that
James Cameron is a master when it comes to making sequels. His films like
Terminator 2,
Avatar 2 and
Aliens are extremely good examples of how to make a sequel right. Unlike
Steven Spielberg that avoids sequels. Steven avoided doing the second
Jaws movie. James Cameron goes for it and wins. Speaking of Steven Spielberg's
Jaws, not only sequels from that film were produced. Rip-offs, like the 1978
Piranha by
Joe Dante also were produced. Those were parody material B-movie exploitation films. And so writer / director James Cameron decided to take the project of making a sequel to that
Jaws rip-off, with his 1982
Piranha II: The Spawning.
