 Mel Melton | WOW! Not what I expected. The ending was not what I expected but it was a very interesting movie and the concepts were out of this world. My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed it. |

| This is a complete myth! The fun part is: What if it was true? (by facorread) |
| This film has greatly polarized critics for its use of controversial concepts. I am a scientist and of course this movie gives me mixed feelings about its science. But I'm sure about one thing, that this is fiction. I am able to watch a fiction movie, am I not?Some people review this film negatively for its scientific value, ignoring the fact that this isn't a documentary. What are these guys comparing this film against? There is no comparison against real-world science here. If somebody makes a film about black holes, I expect it to be faithful to the latest research about black <more> |
| That one guy who told everyone to **** themselves (by thuffman-219-557602) |
| F*** this IMDb rating. I haven't been this entertained in 90 minutes since Pan's Labyrinth. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes gets 8 stars, and everyone is attacking the science of this film... f*** off. This movie is fantastically cool.Remember, critics and joes thought Boondock Saints, Donnie Darko, and Star Wars blew... yeah. Watch it for yourself. If you're a Luc Besson fan, you won't be disappointed.Bad-*** car chase, science-fiction, sex appeal my goodness, Morgan "the man" Freeman, Chow Yun-Fat worthy shootout, visuals that will blow your-effing-mind, and it <more> |
| If you're prepared to suspend disbelief a lot of it this is a great action/sci-fi movie (by dillon18992) |
| I went into watching this thinking "6.6; average but good enough for a night in" considering 22 jump street which I stopped after the _painful_ first half hour gets a 7.6 it makes me wonder about what the people rating movies on this site prefer.This film is quick, intelligent and has a number of good actors in it; if you watch it to the end you'll appreciate it, because in my mind it does everything right. After this paragraph we'll probably be moving into mild spoiler territory, so if you've not watched it yet, or just don't give a flying uh.... seagull? <more> |
| Unusual, interesting and highly entertaining (by gnanag) |
| Normally I don't write reviews but these movie differed so much from what people told me I fell compelled to give my opinion. Because of the bad reviews I didn't expect anything at all. In fact, I expected a killer heroine who would beat her adversaries to pulp. However, I got an extremely interesting, unusual and highly entertaining story, that I found quite fascinating. Of course, it's completely unrealistically, but the whole idea is quite funny and unusual. I generally like movies which manage to introduce new ideas or differ from the same old boring patterns Iron Man 12, <more> |
| A magnificent take on the theory of everything (by burakbabacan72) |
| Lucy is an action thriller movie. Most of its screen time is taken by the fast moving action scenes and the display of super human abilities. However, despite its unscientific claim 10% of brain power and somewhat shallow dialogue, there are moments in Lucy, where the script taps into really moving understanding of human condition. I guess these bits and pieces push the movie to a whole different level. If you leave the mindless shooting and "good guy & bad guy" stereotypes aside, Lucy is an impressive take on theory of everything. It really makes you think and more than that <more> |
| Great movie (by bluesgil) |
| Lucy is a quickly paced movie. Much of the beauty is found intellectually, with a good mix of black comedy.I enjoyed this movie so much that I would pay to see it again!Besson is evolving just as much as Lucy evolves in this movie and you may even find it thought provoking. The movie probably require an audiences with certain level of scientific education or open mindedness in order to understand or appreciate what's going on In the story line Besson manages to successfully transform a drug heist movie onto a very good sci-fi thriller.Not for those who can't see outside the box, or <more> |
| A mix of science and fiction? (by sonekken) |
| I think bad reviews come mostly from people who want to show other how good their science is. Fair enough, this film starts from the premise that humans only use 10% of their brains and Lucy can break this barrier and reach a whole new level in human evolution. This leitmotiv was quite smartly picked to raise interest,although scientifically inaccurate. However this film excites the mind of those who REALLY know physics and know how few limits there are in what we can achieve in pushing our evolution through science to become indistinguishable from magic. "Any sufficiently advanced <more> |
| Not a Documentary!!!! (by porlean) |
| Check the genre of this movie, it says SCI-FI, which stands for science FICTION!! If I watched every sci-fi movie expecting it to correlate with real life physics then there would be no point of the genre. All these bad reviewers seem to be on the more intelligent end of the pole but isn't cognitive enough to realize they're NOT watching a documentary!!!! This is a good sci-fi movie, which kind of lets you imagine what you could do if you knew everything and could do anything. Obviously It's not possible because you would have to break the laws of physics to even get near that <more> |
| Lucy is a ridiculous but very entertaining film (by Argemaluco) |
| Lucy is a spectacularly ridiculous but very entertaining film which is the best one Luc Besson has directed in a long time... even though, considering all the missteps he has had since he returned from "retirement" 9 years ago, that isn't a big compliment. For better or for worse, Lucy employs Besson's habitual style, combining abundant action, a creative visual style and an accelerated rhythm which, in this case, distract us from the parade of nonsense and inconsistencies from the screenplay Hasn't the "we only use 10% of our brain" myth already been <more> |
