Fun, easy to watch

Rating: 6/10 (23 September 2016)

Lucy finds herself caught up in a drug smuggling operation and ends up digesting a large amount of the drug, which allows her to use increased levels of brain capacity. The level slowly increases throughout the film, with Lucy getting more hardcore as it goes on. I was a bit unsure of what Lucy was trying to do, but it seemed first trying to collect the rest of the drug from the other smugglers,then find Morgan Freeman. She doesn't seem to care who she hurts on the way, happily causing unnecessary car accidents, hurting people in the way. Oh whilst gaining brain capacity, Lucy's human emotions (e.g empathy!) reduces (which didn't make sense to me!).
I have seen some negative reviews because it isn't scientifically accurate. When watching you need to remember it's not a documentary, its fiction. There are bits that are hard to believe, but I think if you watch this knowing it isn't true and maybe a bit ridiculous, you will enjoy it.
Yes, it is a bit unrealistic and not all the acting is up to scratch (I liked Scarlett Johansson's Lucy though), but I found it fun and easy to watch with a nice bit of action thrown in there.
