lead actress way too good for the movie

Rating: 3/10 (7 January 2017)

Considering who is directing the movie, I had very high expectations. Alas.
Visually very nice, plot has great potential, and Scarlett Johansson can play anything, but much of this good stuff is totally wasted. I have no problem with the premise - that humans don't use full potential of their brains, and it would certainly be intriguing to try and construct what would happen if that changed. But why so linear? Why so predictable? There's no intrigue, no conflict, no development. And why equate higher intelligence with emotional impotence? It is a contradiction in itself. Besides, if Lucy was totally emotionless, why would she try so hard to pass her knowledge, which is the sole reason for everything that happens in the movie?
Finally, resorting to dinosaurs for me is a sign that creativity has reached rock bottom. Great disappointment.
