Interesting SciFi. Worth watching

Rating: 7/10 (2 February 2015)

This film seems to be a low rated one. I would have to disagree with the lower ratings.
Lucy explores a normal girl being used as an unwilling and unmeaning experiment. A party girl betrayed by a friend/ex lover is turned into something indefinitely more through the acts of drug trafficking and violence.
She becomes everything that we as humans could be if we were more interested in what we are as apposed to what we do.
The cast seems to be quite mundane in their acting and this is where the lower rating comes into play. Scarlet is a tough bird who has mostly no emotion to begin with and that is even before she starts becoming a ultra being devoid of emotion. She does have a few moments where you see the grace and greatness of her acting shine through which does save the movie. Morgan Freeman does have a few believable moments but the film doesn't really give him a lot of room to develop character. He is, as always, amazing. The other characters you basically care little for.
The point of the movie is the development of the human race and what would happen if we were able to gain control of a larger percentage of the mind. This movie had nice effects and really made you think of Lucy as both a human and a super being, caring for her in both likenesses. I enjoyed it and will tell others they should watch.
