Lucy : Brainy is the New Sexy

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2014)

Lucy!!! Starts well , mediocre finish. Plot Review: Lucy picks pace straight from Minute 1 and the way in which parallel narration & Stock footage is shown when Morgan Freeman lecturing is great. Its nice to see how the director has managed to convey the idea of what the mind can do when fully utilised. The film builds up well & just when you think is gonna get even bigger when the story moves to Europe(Paris) you are disappointed. There that 1 car scene but compared to the magnitude of the plot the action is diluted. Also the shootout between the Police & the Chinese is also pretty ordinary.
There is not a big storyline here rather its the creative visualization that impresses.
The Toast Lucy gives to herself in the flight shows the intention of the creators but not sure if they manage to execute it on screen.
Acting: Its a Scarlet Show all the way, There could not be a better voice than Morgan Freeman to explain Evolution. Amr Waked has nothing good to do than a 2 second kiss to Lucy. Min-sik was average certainly not menacing or a person of character to take on the God Like Lucy. Pros : Fast Paced Movie! Makes you think! Cons: Starts more seriously than The Limitless but the end doesn't grip you enough. Reminds you of the matrix in the end.
