Their journeys, though, are still exciting and never lose steam. While the plausibility of its theories and plot remains uncertain, there is no doubt in how the film successfully manages to keep you hooked. Just like Kate, Lucy is injected with something that is fatal and irreversible, thereby sealing their impending destiny. Lucy, now emboldened with super-human capabilities and nothing to lose, embarks on a journey, like Kate’s, to bring justice to the people responsible for her condition.
