I was expecting more.

Rating: 5/10 (10 August 2014)

I think the film Lucy had some great concepts about the human mind, time, meaning of life, etc. However, it is my opinion that these concepts were not made clear to the viewer and not fleshed out as well as they could have been. Maybe I am just too stupid to see the undertones and implications of the writer, but the last third of the movie left me unsatisfied and confused. I did find the CGI and special effects entertaining but much of them were unneeded and seemed more as filler. Towards the end there is a big CGI sequence that I feel the director was trying to use to explain an important concept, but did not seem very clear. Additionally, the characters were terrible. There was no development of any characters, other than Lucy's mathematical progression. As a lover of action and science fiction films, Lucy left me dissatisfied.
I would not view it a second time.
