Great Potential, but horrid story!

Rating: 2/10 (27 July 2014)

So when I first saw the trailer I thought this movie would be awesome! I mean Scarjo and Morgan Freeman? how could this not be awesome? Well, somehow then managed to create characters that the audience does not care about at all. I mean seriously the main character "Lucy" had no introduction beyond her name, How am i supposed to care about a character I know nothing about? This one is a PASS! Don't waste the money! You will leave wishing Lucy had died in the opening sequence. That would have saved you the 90 minutes of pure action with no storyline.
Then there was the cinematography.... I was super confused with the opening sequence that was made up of flashes from Lucy to Freeman, then to national geographic footage??? With none of the clips containing enough info to get a handle on the story. Hence the lack of feelings for any of the characters...
I love movies, and I really expected this to be a great summer blockbuster, but sadly even Scarjo and Freeman could not save this story-less plot, and awkward cinematography...
I gave it a 2 to even out the overly high user reviews. My real rating would be a 5 out of 10.
