Lucy
Do not see this film. I have never before wanted to walk out more than during this movie. Lucy was a total let-down. I was terribly frustrated with the logic behind the plot; it didn't make sense and was unrealistic. Also, there were multiple scenes where semi-important information was left to the imagination, rather than being properly explained. Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) was, at first, made out to be what I would have assumed was a ditzy blonde, but then she didn't play the part. The story also dragged. Honestly, I wanted to walk out before it was even half way through. I was not impressed.
I did, however, enjoy some parts of the cinematography. At one point, Lucy gets kidnapped and they show shots of her being pursued and caught by a group of large men and that of a female elk being preyed on by a pack of cheetahs. The similarities between the two situations were astounding; I loved it.
I give Lucy a 2.5 out of 10.
