A thought provoking film

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2014)

The trailers for Lucy were interesting and enticed me into watching the film. Really, I didn't know what to expect apart from it being based on how far human capabilities go. The storyline is fast paced and gripping, not too fast that you lose your way but enough to keep people engaged.
This film was excellent. There were a few scenes where they seemed a little silly and unrealistic but the majority was a great performance by Scarlet Johansson. There have been a fair few negative reviews and a surprisingly low rating on IMDb. Many because people were led to believe it was a sci-fi film. It did have some Sc-fi elements including levitation people and various time warps; however, what really gripped me with the film was the fact that it introduced true and very relevant facts of the world.
The concept and story of Lucy is very philosophical to say the least, or at least that is what I found. Leaving the cinema it left me wondering about human existence and the capabilities and limits of the brain. It truly was a thought provoking movie!
