Not What I Was Expecting

Rating: 6/10 (29 July 2014)

Honestly, I was expecting more action in the movie. From the trailers, they made it seem as if her main goal was to kill all the people that had turned her into this "monster" but once you watch it, that isn't really her goal. I walked away from the theater a little let down because I was hoping for more action. In my opinion, it had some futuristic elements of a Sci-Fi movie and I wasn't really expecting that. All-in-all, it was a great movie! I just wasn't ready for that. On a lighter note, I did enjoy the fight scenes and the acting was pretty good. I was caught off guard by the showing of different time periods of time square. I got the point, that once you reach a certain amount of usage in the brain you can go through time periods but I feel they could have shown it differently. It took me a few time periods to understand what they we're doing. Also, I wish there was a little more back story on Lucy. They didn't show enough about her. I feel like for us to completely understand how huge this incident is to the character, we need to understand how normal of a person she was before this happened to her. She was a party girl that met a boy who throws her into this huge illegal act. I just wish we knew Lucy better as opposed to knowing too many details about what happened to her.
