Brings new meaning to the term "Science Fiction"

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2014)

Lucy starts out with an interesting premise, but ultimately turns out to be more magic than "science fiction". I wish more thought was put into the abilities Lucy developed due to her increased cerebral capacity, and the plausibility of such abilities as opposed to utterly absurd magical powers that eventually become so ridiculous that they pull you out of the film.
In addition, Scarlett Johansson's performance was...not the best. She improved as this film progressed, but during at least the first 30 minutes or so, I would say she was rather poor. Too much heavy breathing and over the top whining.
Despite all this, the film was still pretty fast paced and entertaining, so I can't complain too much.
