philosophical sci-fi

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2014)

The movie has packed all necessary action and visual effect. 90mins fly by quickly, story was told in a good pace and intense enough to keep audience's attention.
Some may find the trailer slightly misleading. The trailer showed Lucy, who has been slipped a bag of drug under her stomach and the bag of drug leaked which led to her god-like powers.
However, as soon as you start watching this movie in the theatre, you are going to realise it is a sci-fi movie infused with scientific and philosophic facts. More so to the philosophical size.
Having said that, the movie probably require the audiences with certain level of scientific education or open mindedness in order to understand or appreciate what's going on. Like Prometheus, lots of people coming out of the theatre scratch their head or yelling BS or stupid.
Good job once again to director and writer, Luc Besson. Few of his memorable pieces include:
The Fifth Element (1997) Léon: The Professional (1994) Taken 2 (2012) Transporter 2 (2005)
