LUdiCrous-Y

Rating: 1/10 (10 September 2014)

Poor Scarlett. Poor Morgan. This ridiculous movie demeans your otherwise wonderful body of work. Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, meets The Matrix, meets 2001 A Space Odyssey, meets a 70's era rock concert light show, all in a silly way.
The far fetched plot was fine (Asian badguys, the fight over control of a new mind-enabling drug, the effects of achieving superduper brain power), but the screenplay, gratuitous blood-spatter, and directorial choices/vision were horrible.
The montage inclusion of scenes from Africa and of the prehistoric "Lucy" were goofy piled-on attempts at trying to infuse "heavy" meaning into what is, in the end, a sad self-indulgent directorial soliloquy.
