Two super powered individuals went toe-to-toe at the box office, and the eventual winner proved brains beat brawn. The number 1 film this weekend is Lucy (read our review) with $44 million. The premise might be extremely far fetched, but something about this unconventional sci-fi flick from director Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, The Professional) struck a chord with audiences.

Below is some news Gareth Edwards fans probably already know, but if you’re just a casual moviegoer, you may not even recognize his name. Edwards is the director of Legendary Pictures’ “Godzilla,” a movie that almost grossed $500 million worldwide and should probably crack that number when all is said and done (the movie is teetering just on the edge of hitting $200 million at home as well). This is an astonishing feat if you consider the only feature Edwards had made before this was the low-budget “Monsters,” which made all of $237,301 in 2010.

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Imagine what she could do with 100%. Now in theaters is Luc Besson's Lucy, starring Scarlett Johansson as Lucy, a woman caught in a dark deal who ends up gaining incredible powers when a drug gives her 100% brain capacity superpowers. Morgan Freeman also co-stars as a Professor explaining what's going on with her, and how/why she's gaining these powers. Choi Min-sik, Amr Waked, Julian Rhind-Tutt and Pilou Asbæk are also in the sci-fi action movie. Is it any good? Did Luc Besson get his groove back?

Whether suiting up as Black Widow or luring oafish, young men to their otherworldly demise in Under the Skin, or wrangling Joaquin Phoenix with her voice alone in Her, Scarlett Johansson appears to be the ideal choice to play the next-level woman, a female character made supernatural with all the powers she beholds. So thank goodness writer/director Luc Besson has her front and center in Lucy, his latest sci-fi, evolutionary actioner that promises to blow your mind as well as your entertainment meter.
