Pretty good

Rating: 6/10 (8 September 2014)

I found the idea pretty good, but I didn't find it as good as some people have made out.
I felt the film tried to keep to a balanced narrative with the "10%,,,,60%,,,," etc., but the film was a little odd on the narrative front. The whole Chinese "going to kill her theme" was lame, and useless. I'm sure there is some sort of propaganda behind it, but i'm not going into that here.
Anyway, the idea that Lucy needed drugs to get awareness is a take on our consciousness. We can take drugs today, and feel 100%! The film is saying that there requires an external source for this to happen. Well,,, ask a Yogi in the east what he thinks of that! I'm sure it is true that "in the West" we use 5% of our brains, because we are drinking booze, and watching too much TV,,, etc., Lucy turns into a Black external hard drive! HUH? Really?! The idea "I AM everywhere" - I liked that idea, and I also thought the time-skipping theme/scenes were really wonderful and striking. Very reminiscent of The Time Machine.
So, pretty good movie over-all !
