Lucy is Amazing!!!

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2014)

Lucy is a great movie. Go see Lucy! It's not the mindless movie where you sit and stuff popcorn down your face. Yes, this movie requires some thought. It is a mix of science fiction and action. It reminds me of a cross between the Matrix and Limitless. There are some missing story lines (more on this later), but for a 90 minute movie, Besson does pretty well. I've seen lots of reviews say that it was proved years ago that human have access to 100% of their cerebral capacity. In my opinion, I think the implication in this movie is that Lucy has access to all 100% of her brain simultaneously.
Spoiler Alert: I would have liked more explanation on why Lucy began to disintegrate in the scene on the airplane. Also, Lucy walking through the hospital with a gun and the 'bad guys' outside the university with automatic weapons and a crew of 25 without anyone so much as blinking an eye is far-fetched. However, overall for 90 minutes...Lucy rocked. Besson could have dragged this out into a 2 or 3 hour movie explaining everything, but sometimes the best movies keep the suspense building and allow a work of fiction to leave some things open to the interpretation of the viewer. Remember 1+1 does not equal 2.
