Pass on the knowledge

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2014)

A wonderful film posing interesting questions and also providing answers to some of those.
Scarlett Johannson was awesome as always and Morgan Freeman did great in explaining everything like he always does. The movie is perfect blend of Science fiction and philosophy. It touches on various topics like the meaning of life, Existence of God, Potential of Human mind, Origin of the universe, The nature of man and his role in the universe, overcoming the limitations and hurdles in life.
It kind of draws a parallel with the film "limitless" in a way. But there is a difference in the message that both films give. In lucy, the main character dwells on the question of purpose of life and tries to think objectively and not subjectively.
The science fiction stuff might have been a little overboard but its a science fiction in the end and has every right to venture in the unknown in order to have us flabbergasted. In my opinion it was not too eccentric. I liked the way the character of Scarlett evolves over time and is able to unlock the full potential of the human mind.
I am unable to understand why this movie has been rated in the 6s. I think it deserves more than that.
