Lucy (2014)

People are voting emotionally.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

"Lucy" is more wish fulfillment fantasy than anything else. Wouldn't be great if we all had God-like powers locked away in our brains just waiting to be released (kind of a metaphysical version of a letter from Hogworts). Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) experiences this cognitive renaissance when she is forced to mule an experimental drug hidden in her abdomen by a vicious Taiwanese drug-lord. The drug, a synthetic prenatal hormone, allows her to vault past human (and physical) limitations and archive 'The Highest Possible Level of Development'. She eventually meets up with Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman) a pseudo-scientist and expert on the quiescent 90% of our brain while an army of the nattily dressed gangsters search for her. A massive gunfight (borrowing heavily from The Matrix) accompanies a trippy extra-corporal experience (borrowing heavily from the 2001: A Space Odyssey). Energetic and entertaining, "Lucy" is best enjoyed using only the right-side 5% of your mental capacity, but if you have read some of the many fawning reviews on IMDB and expect to achieve enlightenment, I suspect that you will be disappointed.

Really like a strong take no prisoners lead and Scarlet Johansen does well in this role to remind us all to kick some ass on a daily basis.

Seen this sci fi gun flick before, remembered it as a ludicrous incredible story. That is true. But if you look at it from another point of view then this movie can still be enjoyable. It sure has got speed, action and suspense.The weakest point however is the impossible ludicrous story. What is the ludicrous story about? Scarlet Johansson becomes a forced drugmule at gunpoint. The drug she carries however accidentally gives her superhuman capibillities, that is the ludicrous part of this story. How ludicrous? Well, she can melt with machines, she can stop bullets, travel through time back to the dinossaurs. Ludicrous enough? Still there is something to be applauded for in this picture and that is it's guts. It dares to try mix a normal gangster movie with vague scifi nonsense. And surprisingly enough I watched it till the end, however bizarre and plain stupid the story was. Normally I really dislike implausible stories, let alone this kind of bizarre time travel story. But somehow director and writer Luc Besson pulled it off. It could have been better though with a more credible story, now it is merely a good action packed scifi B movie.

"Lucy" is an action thriller movie in which we watch a woman who accidentally caught in a strange deal and now she has to fight her way back. After this deal takes place she is transformed in a best warrior with some special powers or better senses. These powers cannot be understood by the people since they are very evolved and beyond the human logic.I liked this movie because of its interesting and new plot with a well-written script. It was the first time I watched a movie with this kind of plot and it was a good surprise for me. I also liked the direction which was made by Luc Besson because I believe he did a great job and it can be easily understood from the whole duration of it. The interpretations of Scarlett Johansson who played Lucy and Morgan Freeman who played Professor Norman were simply amazing.To sum up, I have to say that "Lucy" is a good and interesting movie with which you are going to have a great time. I believe that you aren't going to waste your time watching it. I recommend for everyone to see it because I am sure that you are going to enjoy it very much since you are going to be alert for the whole duration of it and you will be amazed from the ending of it.
