Good graphics, but boring plot.

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2015)

"Lucy" by Luc Besson, plays on an intriguing notion that humanity, if capable of using more than just 10% of their brain, could achieve incredible feats, and practically become gods.
"Lucy" is about a young woman (Scarlett Johansson) who quickly finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. When forced to deliver some drugs inside of her lower tummy, the package accidentally opens releasing the drugs into her system. However, rather than killing her, the drugs unlock her brains full potential.
Although the movie was not incredible, I did find it visually entertaining. Furthermore, the movie was full of action and interesting perspectives on the theory of evolution. However, the plot was a little underwhelming. There were many times where I was hoping the story's action would be a little more "up close and personal", instead, we are given "Limitless" meets "The Matrix". Which by themselves are perfectly good movies, but they could have maintained some element of Lucy's humanity as it was very hard to relate to what she was experiencing. In the end, it was as if she became like "Amazo", or "Data", which I understand was the director's intent, but it would have been interesting to see what Lucy would have been like had she maintained all of her humanity.
Overall, "Lucy" was entertaining, but it is not something I would go and see again. For this reason, I give "Lucy" a 6.
