A Must See

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2015)

There's a lot of mixed reviews for this movie some good, and some just out right horrible. So for the people who are still on the fence, wondering, "Is this film is worth watching?" Just take a few minutes to read this review and your questions will be answered.
Okay, let me inform you I am not a Sci-Fi fanatic but since everyone was raving about this movie I decided to give it a shot. OK now to the movie, the picture quality, one word Awesome! Great graphics and visual effects throughout the whole movie. It makes you feel like you're actually in the movie, like your looking through the eyes of Lucy herself. Which was one of the stronger points of the movie. I'm going to be completely honest in this review this movie had its good points and it had bad points but I definitely think the good out weigh the bad by far. Let's be honest have we ever watched a "perfect movie" a movie that you wouldn't change a thing about it? Not one thing......... doubt it. Lucy played by Scarlett Johansson is tricked into a awful deal where she is giving a mysteries briefcase and asked to deliver it by her new boyfriend. Lucy then find herself in a very bad situation not knowing the briefcase was filled with a rare synthetic drug , she's captured by a mafia kingpin and used as a drug mule, but when a bag of the synthetic drug erupts in her stomach she then experience unimaginable changes within herself. With the drug in her system it gave her great powers and abilities (physically and mentally) she goes from using 10% of her brain to using 100% of her brain. She then becomes unstoppable. She's on a mission and will stop anyone that jumps in her path, but will the drug who created her also be the same drug to destroy her?
The first few minutes of the film will have you sucked in, anxious to know Whats going on? and whats going to happen next? . As soon as the movie starts I guarantee you will be intrigued. I personally like movies that makes me think and this movie does just that. Although this movie is fiction it really does have positive messages within the storyline that most people didn't even catch onto. Sometimes in movies we are so into the action and suspense that we tend to miss a very important message for instance a quote from the movie: for example "Time is the only true unit of measure, it gives proof to the existence of matter, without time we don't exist." another: "Its funny, I use to be concerned with who I was and what I wanted to be and now that I have access to the furthers reaches of my brain, I see things clearly and realize what make us "us" "
Even though the film is not factual it does make you realize how interesting the human brain truly is. The thought of allowing your brain to sail into another world, another way of thinking,another way of life that's not our own. Its quite fascinating. Some parts of the movie are so far fetch that it becomes comical. The false scientific and philosophical information stated all through the movie is a little ridiculous, but keep in mind it is a fictional movie it never claims to be anything other than that.
So in conclusion, I do believe Lucy is a good movie and I do recommend it. Just remember it is not a documentary. So yes this movie is filled with false information however don't let that be your focus point throughout the movie sometimes the best movies are the ones that take us away from the factual and drifts us into a fantasy.
