Simple Title, Simple Play

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2014)

Stating with an easy to tell, if you're a fan (Die Hard or Not) of The Matrix films, this movie is for you, without a doubt.
As for those who saw a great story with an interesting take on something that has only been scratch on science shows, you won't find it here. Lucy is a female take of the Matrix that only goes so far with ideas, plot threads, and a grand cast to try and sadly not pull it through.
Everyone does their best in this film, you can see that. But it's a story that just can't be saved. Even more so with the main lead, no one can relate too, just as Neo from the Matrix, becoming a superhero but not really as this gift was given, using it wise or not, falls through.
Lucy is what it comes off as, with just a simple name as it is, comes along with the play itself. Too simple, with fruitful uncountable ideas that are just not going anywhere through the film and come off as just stages (As the trailers pointed out) of what could be fictional guesses if one had this power.
In short, Lucy = The Matrix. If one does go see it, hold the bar low for it, and enjoy with a mindless judgment. As this movie could be a hit or miss to some, it just didn't work for me.
