Most unique in its genre. Very original thriller

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2015)

I would recommend this film most highly to lovers of thrillers and futuristic science fiction, and write this review without giving too much away because I think it's essential to have no previous knowledge when watching for the first time, let the film draw you in.
This film is very stylish and unique with its storyline, with just a dash of humour, it's not a 'yet another...', it stands alone as the first of its theme.
Written and Directed by Luc Besson, with the quality abilities of Morgan Freeman and Scarlette Johansson, it shows many aspects and parts of the world, literally, the location shots are beautiful, making the movie quite spectacular.
There just might be an overuse of CGI towards the culmination of the story, but that's sometimes the only way to express science fiction. I particularly enjoyed the early half of the film when Lucy was in action mode...very 008 with style! Johansson rocks the part so well I can't imagine anyone else in the role, maybe Sigourney Weaver if it were made 20 yrs ago, but it's not, it's new and futuristic, a great story never before seen in cinema and makes good use of CGI, As I said, maybe a bit much but each individual decides that when viewing.
In my opinion, it's one of the best films in this category that I've seen in a very long time. Watch it for the thrill...
