Greyhound (2020) is another movie set in World War II from the perspective of U.S. Navy. The film is based on 1955 novel "The Good Shepherd" and tells a fictional story inspired by naval events across the Atlantic.

The plot is about Tom Hanks being a very skilled captain and leader of a small fleet that must travel over the Atlantic and reach Liverpool. All scenes intend to show something close to realism regarding how those naval battles were fought. 

When it comes to World War II scenery, we have lots of data and countless real stories of heroism. Movie makers can pick any of those actual stories to adapt but instead, for unknown reasons, they unnecessary choose fictional stories.

Lucy (2014)

Spyro Rating: 7,1 /10 as "good Sci-Fi" 

Writer & Director: Luc Besson 

Stars: Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked, Pilou Asbæk

More details on IMDB and Wikipedia 

Lucy (2014) is a film about Scarlett Johansson getting superpowers by overclocking her brain. However that does not mean that the character gets smart enough to make the right choices. Even the rest of us who are clocked at 10% do better in understanding certain things.

Lucy enters the movie as an ordinary woman who finds herself in an unfortunate situation. Ends up getting blackmailed by a Korean drug lord to transport by airplane an experimental drug that is sewed in her stomach. Something goes wrong, that drug gets unsealed inside her and then weird things happen. 

After a certain point early in the movie, we feel that the main character is 100% safe through the end. That is because Lucy is way too OP. She could easily hold Thor's hammer, give a beating to the Hulk, survive the finger snap of Thanos and talk to a raccoon, all at the same time.
