An accident; a mysterious blue drug; and a girl becomes a transcendental existence.

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2014)

This movie is not for everyone to properly understand. To existentialists, it would seem like another useless waste of time seeing kid's fantasy movie, but to the people who understand mysticism, transcendentalism, and Sufism, it will be a good eye opener.
The cinema is very short, but the impact of the theory is too heavy. Mysticism and transcendentalism, these two are explored. I know Islamic mysticism does not really bother anyone but if you really are into mysterious things and meeting with The Maker one day, I would say you should read into it. Books of Islamic Mysticists like Gazzali R. on mysticism will give you a proper knowledge of what Sufism or mysticism is.
Anyway, the movie shows you that you can transcend and go beyond the limit of human knowledge if you can unlock the full power of you brain which was given to you at the beginning of your being. Being able to harness the power of your own brain will give you access to the domain of a Superior Existence that we often times talk of. I am not saying that humans can really perform all these but if that Superior Being gives you that power then you can do a lot of things. If you are a Jew then the story of Moses A., if you are a Christian then the Stories of Jesus A., and if you are a Muslim then there is no further explanation necessary to you as you already know through religious scriptures the existence of such domain and possibilities.
What happened in the end is that when Lucy was eventually given the power to unlock the full potential of her brain, she seemed have met her beginning.
The story is short, it has nice East and West combination; and the actors performed very well. Some of the visual elements of the movie were bit redundant and seemed old fashioned. But it is a good movie to watch.
This movie is not like the other blockbusters and it should not really be rated on the same scale as the subject matter is totally different. Those who understand mysticism and Sufism would really enjoy the movie.
