Absolutely mind-blowing. Superior in its own right.

When I left the theater after watching this movie, I felt that I had trouble grasping into reality. I felt at the edge, at the edge of something more. Of everything.
This is the first movie that left something in me in years. After watching the most praised movies of the summer I would always think they were funny and entertaining, but that's all.
Not this one though.
I don't think "Lucy" belongs to any genre at all, and at the same time it has little of all of them. It's not about whether you believe if archiving the ultimate comprehension and control over matter and energy could be possible or not but the moment you understand where the whole movie was headed, when you grasp the meaning and it all slides into place so perfectly...
Lucy is God.
I wonder how many people understood this after watching the film. Lucy is God.
They took all the major theories of creation and evolution, all full of holes in a major or minor state, all with secrets yet to discover or giant flaws that their believers don't know how to explain... And they melted them in one. And somehow it made sense. (I think the one that falls closer is the Gaia theory.)
However, this is a movie that needs to be seen with an open and functioning brain. It leaves a mark on you if you let it sink in, if you listen beyond the mere words that the characters are saying and let their meaning overflow you, think about them and interpret them rather than just listening. Open your mind. That's what all the movie is about, really.
I pity so much all the dumb reviews calling it a "useless movie" and a "careless flick". How bold can all that people be? Can't they see? Can't they feel it? Just open your mind a little bit and the movie will consume you, capture you and you will believe every word, because it will make perfect sense to you. Whether it is sustained scientifically or not, believe.
And when you are done with it it will haunt you, make you question what you already knew and before you can shake it off it will plant seeds of doubt and wonderings of endless possibilities inside you.
Just let it take you away. And you WILL remember it.
Ps: Scarlett is amazing and the visuals are breathtaking.
