You see with Lucy you can say that is just a very well choreographed action science fiction movie, but truth says that your comment would be incomplete. Lucy is a strange journey, in reality. Lucy is a journey through the mind, the brain and the capabilities of it, that we surely are unaware of. And maybe Lucy doesn't aim for scientific accuracy, because that is not the point here, but it aims for a really exciting and exhilarating, emotional walk that we take with our female protagonist that takes us inside the matrix of our perception, of our very own existence. The film combines brilliantly the thrill, with great sequences of flying action and strange, fantasizing kinetics with the inner part of the movie, that which is happening inside the protagonist, that takes place inside her brain and how that expands giving to the viewer a sense of a new entity that is been born inside her, who is driving the movie to places that are unknown and brilliantly and authentically mysterious. Lucy is a movie experiment and for that we must give it to Luc Besson for trying it. It doesn't follow the easy recipe of stuffing more and more action scenes to make a sympathetic movie, although he could, we all know that he is a master of action sequences, but he turns the screw for us, he pumps up the volume to... eleven, in order to give us a mystifying trip, a mesmerizing taste of what it would be if we could do almost anything with our brain. Lucy is a movie that balances greatly between the action and the science fiction part, it has the right doses from the two of them and it is a movie that moves like a sea wave that once it takes you left and the other it takes you right, having constantly the feeling that there is an inner force driving you to the place where all things meet, finally.
