Deep Sci-Fi Fans will appreciate this movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2014)

Most of the reviews mention that the movie is different from the trailers and this is indeed the case. But, unlike a comedy where the three punchlines are all in the trailer and the movie really isn't funny - this movie only hints at the possibilities in the previews and then delivers much more.
As a serious and long time student of the Sci-Fi genre and having read everything from Asimov to Zelazny this movie went from just another fanciful comic book type action movie to a commentary on the human evolution and a parallel look at how far we have come compared to the basics of nature. In the same way that Sam Pekinpah tied in the scene of a scorpion surrounded by ants to the ending sequence in "The Wild Bunch" this movie ties flashes of the base instincts of nature to the actions of some levels of human existence. We get to see Lucy "evolve" herself as her intellect grows, but also her understanding, as she moves from killing her captors to merely keeping them out of the way as she moves forward to her destiny.
An excellent movie that I give a solid "A" and will definitely be purchasing the Blue-Ray when it comes out (the effects and graphics are well worth the HD experience as well)
