Unoriginal

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2018)

This is one bad overhyped movie. The analogy to cancer is the only thing that it brings, and that to an extent, but is otherwise totally derivative of much superior classics like The Thing, or Aliens etc. Even the reviews are skewed because of the hype. This thing failed at the box office for a reason. It is neither intelligent, nor innovative, it is far from anything original even its pretensions are stale. This is not going to be a cult classic, there is much more outstanding sci fi out there, this is Hollywood rub ish at its worst. Not worth your time.
It is also offensive how it uses science buzzwords, like HOX genes or refraction. Few sci fi movies insult intelligence of the viewers to such an extent, but it is just another proof of failure of its lazy, unimaginative, industrial production like aftertaste or rather, distaste, that is best, and thankfully easily, forgotten. Lucy has more substance - and less pretension, than this.
