Worth every second

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2015)

It's hard to watch "Lucy" and not feel the need to compare it to "Limitless" which had the same basic concept. "Limitless was a great movie, but "Lucy" is an excellent movie - limitless in almost every way.
Brilliant performances from all the actors, mind-blowing stunts and action sequences, and not to mention the outstanding and memorable car chase scene which is an absolute must-see for everyone! Nevertheless, the film may come across as somewhat higher grade. So if you are one who prefers "My Wife and Kids" over "The Big Bang Theory", "Lucy" is most probably NOT for you. Although the opening scene is very strong and gripping, the seemingly far-fetched, documentary-esque inserts of hunting cheetahs might puzzle some audience. How is it related to the film? It really isn't. Metaphorically, yes it is. But could they have done without it? Most definitely.
The big question: will you be satisfied; is it worth your hard earned money? Certainly. However, the ending might leave you wanting more and feeling as though something is missing. The film is basically one long metaphor open to free interpretation. Everyone might have a different opinion of what its actually really about. None the less, best movie I've see all year!
