"If Lucy be lousy..."

Rating: 2/10 (27 January 2018)

(Title is Shakespeare, FYI.) And, yes, Lucy is lousy. I'm sure a million reviews here have had a blast with the ridiculous '10% of the brain' premise. Personally, my objections (also likely share by many) go to: Morgan Freeman. ENOUGH. We know you're the go-to God figure and it's extremely tired. Then, and worse, is the irritating shift in style. The audience putting up with the pseudo-science-spirituality garbage has the right to expect that Lucy will spectacularly kick the bad guy asses at the end. But, noooo. Instead, Lucy, who could in a heartbeat save a bunch of lives, goes time travelin'. Most annoying of all is the 'Contact' nonsense about how humanity may not be ready for so much knowledge. Ya think? Ultimately, this is way pretentious bilge.
