Intriguing and entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2015)

I suppose if one really goes along with the film's premise, then any criticism by us mere mortals with cognitive capacities of 10% would seem irrelevant. How could we possibly understand what it would be like using 100% of brain capacity?
That is the film's strength. Go along for the ride and see what happens in the film-maker's imagination. If one is prepared to suspend judgement and do this, then the film is intriguing.
This film is as much a test of the viewer's preconceptions about using 100% brain capacity, as it is about the actual events in the film. For example, what moral changes occur in Lucy, and how does this relate to her sensory awareness of the personalities of the people she kills? The moral changes are implicit, and unexplored, but evident from her behaviour. If she's not a psychopath, then what moral plane is she on?
The film is intriguing on many levels, but especially this one. It's a first class sci-fi effort from Luc Besson which I found intriguing and entertaining.
