fun movie with a letdown ending

Rating: 6/10 (27 February 2015)

I always enjoy watching Scarlett Johansson. And the first 40 minutes of this film were entertaining. But the ending left me cold -- it didn't go far enough. So she enlarges the use of her brain to 100%, manages to revenge herself on the bad guys, killing a bunch of them in the process, and becomes an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent being. "I am everywhere." Okay, then what do you do with all this power and knowledge? Nothing-- that's the end. I would have really liked to see some sort of philosophy on what the purpose of it all is, and once you acquire power, what should you or could you do with it? She could have terraformed planets and resettled warring tribes there. She could have ended hunger and war somehow. There is a lot she could have done, but we don't even know what she considered worth doing. And I'm really tired of cars driving wrong way down the freeways for endless minutes. Seems like directors just do it because it's fun to create and they can. But we've seen it -- it was done to perfection in Deju Vu. I never need to see it again.
