katikat | Movies on DVD 13/50: Lucy

I'm not the biggest fan of Scarlett Johansson, but she was amazing in this movie. A sci-fi from Luc Besson? Fantastic! The very beginning was only so-so but once the action started going, it never stopped. The movie itself was rather short - not even 90 minutes - but the special effects were breathtaking and the whole concept very intriguing and - at least from my POV - original. And I loved that Lucy accomplished what she set out to do. Her life definitely didn't turn out as she expected it but at the end, she got to understand...
