The trailer looked so amazing, but...

Rating: 5/10 (30 July 2014)

I'm not saying it's a bad movie, but Lucy is your typical sci-fi plot. It was like a combination of Resident Evil (2002, Akira (1988), Sysco book series (2013) and Firestarter (1984). If you're a fan of the plot of people ending up with spectacular and dangerous powers you'll want to see this movie maybe once, it's not all that wonderful but it isn't bad. I saw it during a vacation away from Canada, when I was in Puerto Rico, it was something to pass the time. It's better in a theater than at home. The CGI was pretty good, it appeared to be dubbed in English rather than actually filmed in English. In a century where movies are getting more and more reliant on computer effects than an interesting story, this one at least had a half-decent plot. I don't think I'd buy it if I saw it on DVD but like I said, it's worth viewing once.
