I wish it was a remake of Limitless, but it becomes very silly very fast

Rating: 4/10 (21 September 2019)

I saw this movie a couple of years ago, and decided to review it now after reading a review about another movie that compared unfavorably to this one. How can a movie be worse? It's very hard to like Lucy after you've watched it to the end. It starts good - pretty much like Limitless - a failed adult is exposed to a drug allowing her to use 100% of her brain and she becomes super smart and capable in a short time. But then the choices this genius makes and the stuff she does and doesn't do to get out of a dangerous situation, are just plain silly. And after you've don't care anymore and just want this movie to end, it becomes silly on a truly galactic scale, but I won't say any more so not to spoil your face-palming.
