Hilariously bad.

Rating: 1/10 (22 March 2015)

If there are two thing that are annoying, they are pseudo-intellect and pseudo-science. There's only one thing that can make it worse, and that's when it is shoved down your throat in the most pompous and aggressive way. Sure, we can forgive Star Wars for midichlorians, but Lucy is beyond forgiving. It puts forth every debunked myth like it is the most intelligent thing ever said, such as dolphins being more intelligent than humans. And let us not forget Lucy's cringe-worthy speech about how 1 + 1 does not equal 2. And apparently having more brain activity means you lack the capacity to feel emotions, which makes no sense. And does anyone remember how she suddenly knew how the surgeons should be doing their job out of the blue? Even if she was at 100%, that knowledge came from nowhere. I don't think I need to poke out any more flawed logic throughout the film.
Aside from Lucy being a generally unintelligent pile of filth, it is lacking in any artistic quality. The flashbacks to nature throughout the beginning of the movie were so out of place and absurd that it made me laugh out loud. No, it's not that I didn't understand why they were put in the movie. Yes, I get it, she's like a mouse in a trap, but it just didn't work. Scarlett Johansson's performance was hilariously bad as well. How did she go from "Her" to this filth? She spent the entire movie twitching and speaking monotone. The movie had basically no story. It simply existed because the director thought it would be cool to see a person progressively get more intelligent, and that's all that happens. The foundation of the movie is intelligence, yet Lucy never says one intelligent thing in the movie.
This movie is only good if you want a good laugh. All the great scientists are rolling in their graves right now.
