Began good, became amazing, then took a free fall.

Rating: 6/10 (19 September 2014)

I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago, and i was really excited to see it. I saw the trailer and it looked really promising.
The first part of the movie was really entertaining, made sense and was pretty exciting. There was action, there was emotion and there was complexity. Lucy was caught in a drug deal where the drugs were implanted in her lower belly. She then was caught by some Asian dudes (how they got her is not explained) who then beat her up. The bag of drugs tore and the drugs were released in her bloodstream and she slowly developed powers beyond that of normal humans. So far the story as we have seen it in the trailer.
After that it became really good. More action, more back-story and explanations and more complications. I don't want to give too much away but lets just say that the story developed in a reasonable way and everything still made sense (sort of).
But after that, in the last 20 minutes of the movie it became ridiculous. The whole story got stuck way to far up it's own ass by the time Lucy reached 95% of her brain capacity. Things became just impossible, unexplainable and just straight up dumb. Again i don't want to give to much away, but the story began to defy every law of nature and even time itself.
Overall i found this movie entertaining, that is until the last 20 minutes. Check it if you are into this type of story but be prepared for the weirdest ending since the movie adaptation of The Last Airbender.
