Enlightenment ...

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2014)

First of all this is a Luc Besson movie, so probably half of the reviewers here will hate this film while other half will love it. You guess which half is with 5% brain capacity.. :)
I found the movie intellectually stimulating as Besson has done an excellent job of presenting the panoramic sight of the modern secular enlightenment, combined with applied mathematics, physics, bio-chemistry, and a little pinch of technological singularity. Other than these, it is also a fast moving action flick with a well-written scenario keeps you wonder what will happen in the end.. So I think it is safe to say that Lucy can satisfy the intellectuals as well as the common action-addicted-movie-goers, if the audience knows how to anatomise it.
I personally think much credit must be given to any film that even attempts to touch such an intimidating topic: where the evolution is taking us.. And trying to do this with a high-speed-action film is a very good/smart choice for a director. Besson provokes the audience and makes them think about the concept of human potential and the probability of improving on brainpower. At least, it worked on me..
This is a good movie to watch.
