Leave your brain at the entrance

Rating: 4/10 (11 September 2014)

I liked the action and the beginning of the plot, but the rest was just silly. I know someone with whole brain power would be very smart, but to claim it would have power over matter and time it's a level of sci- fi that is not believable (at least for me...) This reminded me of Transcendence. The same phenomenon: you get so smart you can do anything you want.
There are several severe inconsistencies in the movie.
1. Why would superior intelligence imply that you can kill anyone, with no reason, enemy or not? (See the hospital scene) On the other hand, when dealing with real enemies (the Chinese guys), Lucy doesn't kill them, but plays with them. Maybe this is needed to create the stupid gunfight (a la Matrix) between the French police and the Chinese at the end of the movie.
2. If you are super smart and tapped into anything that moves, then why do you need to swipe and zoom with your fingers, like on a phone/tablet. Can't you do that in your head? Speaking of technology, in the scene where Lucy first gets a hold of a computer, after she gets smarter, she opens tons of windows (supposedly learning) and does not close them down. No matter how smart you are, the computer's RAM will run out if you try and do that. It looks good on the screen, but is not realistic.
3. Why would Lucy search and find some researchers to talk to when she already knows more than any of them? It's like seeking advice from a young kid about what to do in life... In the end, a bunch of them are gathered in a room with the sole purpose of looking at her while she reaches her 100% brain level and while the Chinese smash through the police.
4. If she's that smart, why didn't she make the blue drug herself, or find the production site in Taiwan, rather than start a war in France?
5. Why does she travel in the past with a chair?
There are other points, but i do not want to waste my time any further. The movie looked promising, but like Transcendence, it goes way too far in assuming brain power can make you a sort of God, above physics, gravity, everything.
