Anybody looking for anything but great fun, this may not be for you

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2014)

IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes show a bunch of reviews for this picture from people who were disappointed by (among other things) the science behind it. C'mon, people: this is Sacrlett Jhannson kicking serious butt. And you want logic? I'm a major Luc Besson fan, and wasn't disappointed here at all. The film is action-packed, races like a rabbit, and is frequently intentionally quite funny. Like many of his films, it features a strong female protagonist, another plus.
My one reservation comes from an apparent continuity laps. As one point, something is happening to Lucy in the restroom of an airborne commercial jet; then, suddenly, she's on the ground surrounded by people in a room far away from the plane (I'm trying to keep this vague). What happened when the rest room door opened? How did she wind up where she did? It's almost like a reel (well, a short reel) of film was missing in the film I saw. More puzzling than crucial, but very sloppy.
Also: I'm a fan of "2001," which may help.
